Küchefest!

This weekend we had another kitchen party. Just as last time, this was a raving success.

My friend Mark, whom I met at Drexel years ago in German classes, did come and visit me, and even brought a friend. He and the friend arrived in Munich on Friday afternoon, and I didn’t meet up with them until 8pm on Saturday night, because I hadn’t received Mark’s e-mails about where and when to meet him. He sent them alright, but I didn’t read them. So heads up to anyone planning to visit me: I suck.

Mark and his friend are both on the DAAD/SIP scholarship that I’m on, except they study in Berlin instead of Munich. (We also have another Drexelian in Cologne. At the moment, though, I believe he’s in Thailand with his girlfriend. Way to go, Nik.) This means that they can actually speak German! So my German friends chided me for bringing more Americans to our dorm, then became ecstatic when they learned that these Amis could speak German. Mark’s conversational German is even better than mine, which is saying a lot, if I do say so myself. It was a grand time.

Here the photographic proof of fun.

Tomorrow’s the first day of classes. I should get some sleep.
