This symbol € is the sign for euro, the same way that $ is the sign for dollar in the US! 

What was the best meal this week?:

My favorite meal was probably my lunch in Koblenz on Sunday, January 18th. I met up with a few friends (other Fulbright grantees), and we explored Koblenz. We all had lunch together at a burger place, and I got a tasty Beyond Burger (a vegetarian burger). 

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to a lot of musical theater and Disney songs. Do you like musical theater songs? 
Something different about the music I listened to this week is that it was mostly French and German! 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

My favorite activity was meeting up with friends in Koblenz. My friends and I walked around by the water, explored the city center, got lunch, and went to an art museum.
