This is about the places and things I have done in my Summer Semester at Kassel University in Kassel, Germany. Kassel is a relatively small town of 200k people located west of Berlin but is pretty much in the center of Germany.

Frankfurt March 9 - 12

Alright, here is where my journey begins, the flight itslef was an interesting journey but nonetheless it was a good flight. Well, I landed in Frankfurt, Germany, and after getting my luggage, I realized "Wow, I know noone here and I don't have a cell phone, haha." Well luckily in the states my mom, thank you, made me make a reservation for a hotel to stay at, I was just planning on winging it like I always do! Well after exchanging some money at the airport, which I have to add, I got raped by the exchange rate, but I got into a cab and showed him where I needed to go. Luckily I had the address because the cab drive spoke alittle English and I spoke absolutely no German, haha.

Here is my hotel, I booked it online and it said "in the center of the city" well apparently that meant right in the Red Light Disctrict. Just for the record, no hookers for me, thats gross but the area was still interesting. I get there and there are porn shops and red hearts everywhere, I thought it was gonna be a bad part of town but it ended up being really cool, nothing bad happened. Oh I have to add this in, haha, there was a Tv in the room so I was like "cool something to watch" haha well all the channels were in German execpt for one, which was an all porno channel in English, guess it was because of the great location I was in. Well here is what the hotel room looked like!!
