Day one Münich

4 a.m. is way too early to get up. I slept through most of the plane ride and a german girl, who was actually just coming back from Belfast from visiting a friend at Queen's took pity on me trying to figure out how to buy a train ticket through the machines and then sat next to me and chatted until her stop. the hostel itself was fairly easy to find. I feel like I'm at summer camp, to be honest, I'm in a 6 bed all girl dorm so we sleep in bunk beds and we have our own bath which is nice. After checking in, i decided to go spend the rest of my day wandering and I only got lost three times; first i was distracted by signs for the zoo so I tried to find that, I failed, then by leaving the train station through a different exit than I was used to, which lead me to find the polar bear thingy, which allowed me to get lost even further. I found the hostel again and then just spent the rest of the night chilling and talking to one of the girls in my room. I can't spell let alone pronounce her name for the life of me, but she's here doing a week study through her school in Paris, but she's actually originally from Moracco. We're going to exchange emails and then when Armelle, Heather, and I go to Paris, she'll give us a tour of the campus. All in all a fairly uneventful day.
Tomorrow - Castle Day!!
