Day 6

Guten Abend!
Today was a very interesting day.  For our history class we had a guest speaker from the European Parliament. He talked about the importance of the Eurozone monetary policy along with the debt crisis going on in Greece. We learned that yesterday, the European Union decided to grant Greece a second bailout package worth 109 billion Euros along with debt relief, tax breaks, and extended credit payback periods. 
Since the speaker finished early we had about two hours for a lunch break before German started so a few of us went to go explore more around the school.  We ended up finding a little supermarket that sold sandwiches and pastries.  We also decided to stock up on chocolate since it is SO good, much better than the chocolate in the US.
Tonight we are going out to eat as a group and then going to see Harry Potter.  The weather is starting to get a little better, but still cold! Today was the first day it didn’t rain and hopefully it stays that way for the climbing park tomorrow.
