Second day in Freiburg

Another day passed in Freiburg.  This will have to be pretty quick, as I have to get up for class tomorrow :S But yeah, things about Germany/Freiburg still surprise and confuse me.  For example had a MASSIVE bee follow me into my room tonight - I think I prefer blowflies cos at least they can't sting you! Also went to 2 bakeries today (but no, haven't eaten it all yet) and both had bees flying around in the display cabinets.  But everyone just seemed to ignore them/ think it was normal.  Also still getting confused with calculating stuff based on cars and trams driving on the right side of the road not the left - especially when that relates to walking in crowds.  I keep almost walking into people when I move to the left but they also move that way.  Also another random difference I've observed is that they have massive light switches in Germany, and most of them are also slightly illuminated in some way.

In terms of course stuff, I went on a tour of the city this afternoon, which was nice.  Didn't hear much of what they said, but it was definitely a nice walk around the middle of the city.  Also met some more people today, which is nice.  Although I think so far none of us are in the same class - theres like 22 classes or something!  Went on a Kneipentour (pub tour) tonight, and had a Radler - the German equivalent of a shandy.  Am working up to getting a Weissbier or some kind of real beer...
