Ailie in the Wonderland- chapter 3

Some people wondered if I will be a drunkie in Deutschland. So here shows my daily life to make a proof.

Backgrounder: My school Horizonte is a private German language school located in Regensburg, somewhere central-east of Freiestaat Bayern (those football fans should know where Bayern is!).

It has 15 years of history and has students with very wide range of nationality such as Vietnamese, Japanese, Arabian, the United States, Spainish, Peruvian, French or Italian. It offers courses with length from 1 week to months (just like me who stay here for 27 weeks), and for learner with different targets such as intensive course, business Deutsch, Deutsch for cabin crew, and general course which I am taking. They help students finding accomodation here too, normally short term students will live in hotels or University doms, and long term students will live with homestay families.

This the where the school located.. it's on the 4th floor so sometimes I will climb up the stairs instead of taking the escalator My class is a beginners' class - but actually we will be in the same class throughout the study (I think so), but teachers rotate every few weeks.

The class is small so that the relations are quite good... and we have all notes and reminders sticking on the wall!! My classmates consists of French, American, Vietnam, Spainien, Taiwanese, Japanese and Peruvian!

The lady in black with long hair is our instructor Babsi. My Japanese classmate Machiko

Me, Machiko, Frenchwoman Anne and American girl Johanna Maiko, the student from another (higher) class

The school has free activities everyday, like football, volleyball, city walk, countryside outing, or some seminars about reading or Germany, that we can sign up for those optionally.
Last Friday we had the biweekly international food party, and students made the gourmet of their home (and the school offers a barrel of fresh beer -- sure). I made a large bowl of cold noodle with chicken meat in sesame sauce, and everybody likes it (Hey, I can cook something not only edible but also nice! Believe it!). Oh, as there had sooooo many people queuing up for food, I can hardly find a chance to take photos. I am regretting because the food was so good! I will try to take photos in the party two weeks later!

A reminder: Regensburg is just one and half hour by train from Muechen (or Munich in English), the capital of Bayern.

Maybe I will have a Regensburg virtual tour in later update.
