I've already been here for over a month, and yet it feels like I just arrived a week ago. It's amazing how fast time has gone and how much fun I'm having. I've met a group of great people who I enjoy spending time and going out with.
The winter is one of the best times of year to be in Germany, especially in Hamburg where everything is so beautiful. At the end of November loads of tents and booths went up in Christmas markets all around the city. The Christmas spirit here is so amazing. Besides the beautiful Weihnachtmarks (Christmas markets) there are lights up all over the city and I live right in the center of Hamburg where I see all the beautiful lights every time I go out the door. Living right in the center of town also means that I can go get Gluhwein (hot, spiced wine), bratwurst, or crepes from one of the many Christmas markets. Honestly, that is probably my favorite part of the Christmas markets here: the food.
I'm very excited for my parents and brother to come visit me in just two weeks. I can't wait to show them all of the best places in my new city.
