There is a First Time for Everything

I have had a lot of firsts getting to live in Germany so far this year. It's been my first time to...

...see Europe... live in Europe... live somewhere besides Texas.

...watch a full soccer match... and attend my first hockey game.

...wear a dirndl.

...go to so many museums and palaces... see a royal treasury.

...learn another language.


...have non native English speakers correct my English. Only slightly embarassing.

...teach kids English (as their third language).

...see the Alps.

...ski in the Alps.

...drive a stick shift... drive in the snow.

...have a white Easter. Still haven't had a white Christmas yet though...


...go ice skating outside on a frozen pond (that just so happens to be infront of a castle - Nymphenburgschloss).

... have at one point 5 different money currencies in my wallet (American, Euro, Swiss Francs, Hungarian and Brazilian money - I traded my American 2$ bill to a friend for his Brazilian 2$ bill)

... hear 3 different languages at the dinner table.

...see Spiderman beat up a Princess.

It's been an eye opening year ;)
