A fun day at the high ropes course

After finishing the language course and watching a movie about Prague, we went to a high ropes course where we stayed for the whole afternoon.
In order to get to the actual part of the high ropes course, you had to take a flying fox over a river, so that was quite exciting for a start. :)
The rest of the course consisted of 32 more or less hard parts with bridges, spiderwebs, ropes and flying foxes.
I have never done anything like this before, but I really liked it and I really want to do it again!

I hope you can get the glimpse of an idea what it was like to be up there by looking at the photos, the others are of the city centre in Brno.
I especially like all the old buildings, I hope you do, too... :)

Tomorrow we are going to visit the planetarium here in Brno, I'm really looking forward to it, it will be very interesting for me since I haven't been to one yet.

I'm looking forward to hear how things are going in Germany and I will keep you updated about my journey!

Arriving in Brno!

I just want to let you know that I arrived in Brno safely!
The journey yesterday was quite exhausting, it took me 12 hours to get here and I nearly missed my connecting bus because I was leaving early.
But somehow I made it and now I'm in the second biggest city of the Czech Republic doing an intensive language course along with 44 other exchange students from 17 different European countries.

My roommate is Maria, a 21-year-old shoe designer from Estonia and we get along really well (since we are the two only blonde chicks here we have to stick together :).
Today we started with our first few Czech words and learned to say where we're from and stuff like that.
After three hours of language course we had another part where we learned about Czech culture, history and geography.
In the evening we went to a typical Czech pub where I tried some goulash with dumplings, it tasted great!

So what's my first impression of the Czech republic?
It's really green over here, the people are friendly and open-minded (even though unfortunately most of the older people don't speak English, so I really have to get going with my studying!), I love the architecture and the old buildings and everything is so cheap (0,5 litres of beer cost less than one Euro!).

I have to get going now because I still have some homework to do for the language course in the morning, I hope everything's fine over in Germany and I'm looking forward to hear from you!

Just one week left - and it's still so chaotic

Right now I feel like there's no way I'm gonna be finished packing everything up by the time I leave:

My to-do-list is two pages long and it feels like every time I tick something off, there are at least two more chores I need to put down.

Worst of all - I still have no idea where I'm going to stay since I refused the university's offer to stay in one of their dormitories because I disliked the fact that they only offer double rooms.
Finding a room proves to be difficult - either the room is affordable and spacious, but nowhere near public transport (i.e. the university) or it's dear and tiny, but nearby the city centre...

Anyways, I guess I just have to wait and see what's gonna happen...
