Everything is going well here, stereotypes be damned i'm spending lots of time with just some of the nicest people! I think it's partly due to the fact that, defying common logic, I'm way more conversational here than at home!
Also got involved in Politics, kinda.
At the end of November I showed up at a meeting of the "Die Grüne Jugend" (The Green Youth), which is basically the 28 and under part of the Green Party (Bundnis 90/Die Grünen, which right now has 10% of the Bundestag).
Just to clarify I'm not really interested in politics, mostly just environmental issues.
And that's been great, I got to go to a climate conference, help organize a clothing exchange, and generally just have great discussions on a weekly basis. I even gave a 90 minute presentation/led discussion this week, all in german of course. Learned that Braunkohle ≠ Braunkohl! (Brown Coal and Kale, respectively)
