Wir wohnen in Hatteheim!

Only updates for UK trip so far, before we forget anything! But of course, how can we forget to update you all on our current situation:)

We arrived in Frankfurt Main Airport on 2Jan, officially embarking on our German exchange program. Our preeetty Burbury-clad friend Maria came to fetch us to our new home. Our address is:

Flat 4
EBS Wohnhaus
Rheinstraße 14
65436 Hattenheim

Germany

So when we run out of Lee Kum Kee sauce and Ho Yao etc, you know where to send your love.

Hattenheim is a village. We are far from civilization, especially during this winter period. Nothing much is opened even in the day, cept our fav. hangout -- Aldi Supermarkt. We live by the Rhine river. The view from our window is sooo beautiful. You have to see it to believe it. Btw, we took this picture inside our flat, with the windows opened.

Our daily program for the past week has been oh-so-intensive German class from 8.45am to about 4pm. From where we live, we walk 40min to the Berg, where we have classes now. So you can imagine how early we set off. We have slowly got accustomed to walking for an hour to and from sch everyday, but sometimes when you wake up in the morning (esp after a late night party) and you think about walking alllll the way to sch and having boring German lessons the whole day, you just feel like falling asleep again. On the topic of German classes, sigh it is so hard. German is not good for Asian tongue. It sounds like coughing up phelgm. Chkrrrrrrrr- without the pui thats all. I can whine on for an hour...


We've made plenty of friends here! They are real lovely people. Particularly close friends are the Koreans, HK girls, 2 Frenchies and a Lituanian. We had a preconceived mentality that Frenchies are clique-ish, don't-speak-english people. To our plesant surprise, they are reallllly nice! Despite the fact that we don't completely understand their lousy English, they are friendly and love to chat with us. Then again, of course there are stuck-up angmohs who disregards us Asians who look like little kids. My HK friends and I love to bitch about them. Ha!


Living in Germany, how can we forget the beer and partiesss! So far, we've had a wine&wurst gathering, a huge exchange party and many smaller exchangees gatherings. We practically drink everyday and are loving every bit of it:) Picturesss time!

Me and Alice my Korean pal. Jemmy is pretty good at these drinking games. I too hamchee to play. Surely lose and get drunk.
More parties over the weekend! Woohoo!
