So much has happened since my last blog. Koln was awesome. I never thought I would be going to Karneval ever in my life! I dressed as a cat and the parades were amazing. I have been in Luneburg for almost 3 months...CRAZY! I miss my family, boyfriend, friends and my cat soooooooo much! It has helped that 4 weeks ago James came to visit me for a week. During that week I still have school, but we managed to go to multiple museums, a hockey game, went out with friends, saw Alice and Wonderland, went to the top of the water tower and lots of other things. It was honestly the best week of my life. I almost died when I saw him at the airport and almost died when I had to leave him at the airport.
The week after James came I had Spring Break. Two of my friends and I decided to go to Istanbul, Turkey. It was incredibly exciting for me since I had done two reports on Turkey, my mom had lived there before and my aunt and uncle have a place in Turkey. So I was excited to visit a place that I have heard about my whole life.
We saw mosques, we went to a Turkish bath, hung out with some really great locals and people from our hostel, had really good food, saw a belly dancing dinner show, saw the Whirling Dervishes and went to two sultan palaces. We flew into the Asian side of Turkey and stayed in the European side. So now I have another continent to add to my list :).
When I got back I started to get a really bad cold and I am still trying to get over it. Tomorrow I begin the highest level of German. So time should just get even more intense.
