Hello! My name is Madison and this blog is about my 10 month excursion to Germany from August 2012 until June 2013. I will be going to Germany through the CBYX Scholarship with help from the organization Ayusa. While in the United States my home-base is Kansas. Well, enough about that... This blog is a journal of my experiences while being a high-school foreign exchange student in Germany.

Some thoughts and observations:


Random:  I have to do my own laundry!?  I think I'll probably just throw it all in and put it on cold?  Now, I don't know what I'll do about drying.  There are no dryers. Hanging my underwear for all to see isn't very appealing.  Oh well!

Random:  Nude pics (porn) are right out in front in the grocery store...and book store (scarred for life).  There was a book cover of a vagina, no title, next to the kid's section.

Random:   You can (apparently) get a frap without coffee in it.  (I dare you to ask for one) LOL.

Random:  You can't find still (non sparkling) water ANYWHERE (ok, you can, but it is really rare).

Random:  Hedersleben smells (literally) like horse shit.

Random:  If you return your drink bottle, you get like 30-40% of your money back.

Random:  Paparika flavored is like the only kind of chip you can find here.

Random:  There is not one single hair in my sink, ALEX!

    You're really growing up Madison (doing your own laundry and all) :)
    I have a friend visiting Iceland right now who also found Paprika chips.
    I think American's are the wierd ones in the world. Recycling is more second nature around the world (money for bottles). And people aren't as 'up-tight' about nudity and sex as Americans.
