A forest at the bus stop in Hannover
I saw this really cool bus stop in Hannover. There are small trees/bushes growing on top of it.

Galeria Kaufhaus and the Very Alarming Steiff Bear
This is definitely not going to be the title of a children's book! When I was in Hannover, my friend S and I stopped by Galeria Kaufhof, which is a department store. In the toy section, we found a giant Steiff teddy bear. Push the button and he'll talk about animals. Cool, huh?
Well, it was not so cool. If anything, he was a bit creepy! As he spoke, he gyrated his hips. I was a bit in shock as he was going on like Elvis when he was talking about turtles. By the time I had regained my composure, he was done. I pushed the button again and he talked about chimpanzees. I recorded this but noted that he was much more restrained in his gyrations this time around.

My week: July 12 ed.
-German classes: we're wrapping up the class and are preparing for the test at the end. Last time I thought that the test wasn't required so I didn't take it. It seems as if it is needed to go to the next level so I'll participate this time. Cue the studying!
-I met with my tandem partner and we ate at Caribean II in Siegelbach. The food was okay and the service was quite good.
-The weather was nuts this week. I was thankful to see the end of the scorching week before. This week was so much cooler; I ended up wearing my sweater at work a bit because I had the windows open and it was cold outside in the early part of the day. I'm not complaining by any means; I was soooo glad to cool off. I don't like hot weather at all.
-I traveled to Hannover this weekend to visit a new friend, S. He had visited me in Kaiserslautern and invited me to see his hometown. He was a wonderful host; he showed me around the city, talking about is history, as we rode his bikes. Along the way, we ran into many of his friends, who also welcomed me warmly. Maybe I'll write more later and post some of the photos. It was a great time and I look forward to him visiting again this fall!
