Dancing is forbidden.

Hello again. I have now been here for over a week and am beginning to settle in and I think it is safe to say:
It's just so pretty. I really like to walk around with icecream because I pretty much have nothing else to do (other than learn Japanese and German.)
I live on the 14th floor at the top of a mountain (hill?) and this is the view from my window. The photo doesn't really show, but the weather has been amazing the whole time- I have not worn a jumper once and have got a tan. last night someone from our Japanese group invited us to go grilling (bbq) somewhere on campus which was nice.

This is somewhere in town but I thought I would honour the cherry blossom with a photo as I missed it in Japan. I will go and see it one day.
It's starting to sink in that I'm in Germany...
This is where I get of the bus generally if I want to go into town or to the park.
On Thursday night I met some friends in the park and we wanted to go and celebrate as it was a Feiertag on Friday and we had the day off. What my friends had forgotten is that a Feiertag means you are not allowed to feier. There was a Tanzverbot after midnight and there was no music anywhere in town. I like Germany and everything but a dancing ban seems a bit 16th century to me. My friend then also sent me a link to the website which explains that Baden-Württenberg (The state I'm in) has the most days with a dance ban.

Anyway I will go now as I need to buy something to make Spätzle with, which is a kind of egg pasta which comes from this region.
