Everything is still going well in Germany, especially now that everyone is more settled in and we know quite a few more people.
Last saturday, we went on a daytrip to the city of Köln (Cologne), which is actually the fourth largest city in all of Germany. They are also the city that got beat by Borussia Dortmund last week :). The city is most famous for its huge Gothic Cathedral, which is the largest of its kind in the world, followed by others in France. We were able to climb the towers and check out the entire inside. This is the same cathedral that the new pope comes from. Köln is also cool becuase it sits along the Rhein river, although its north of the really beautiful part with mountains.
During the day, they had an Antikmarkt and I purchased a book from 1891 for 1 euro that is about English (British) History. Other than that we just hung out in the city and walked around the old area... even ate some awesome Chinese food that I think was more like actual chinese food rather than americanized.

Last night, tuesday, I went to another BVB game against Arminia Bieleld. We had better seats this time for half the price - 11 euros, in the standing section on the south side of the stadium. The singing, chanting, and yelling is awesome and anyone who comes and visits me between now and april has a chance at coming to one of these games for 11 euros (totally worth it) and it makes up for missing uva football... in a different way.
