PRO TIP: WATCH AND LEARN

The most important thing I've learned to fiting in with the natives of any country is to watch and learn. When eating, see how much they serve themselves, watch the speed at which they eat, and pay attention to which foods should be eaten together. I've been doing this a lot. I pace myself so that I'm never the first one done eating, but I'm never the last one, either. I've learned a lot from this, actually. It's almost like studying my host family, which is sort of creepy, but I think it's important to do as they do. It's only respectful.
Today is Sunday. Again, like yesterday, I woke up late... I guess old habits are hard to break. We had another large spread of breakfast, and had some time to relax and hang out. At two, we met Björn & Richie, Timon & Corey, Luca & Alex, and Lena & Lauren at the indoor water park in a city called Wolfsburg. It was awesome! We went on this really dark slide with flashing lights that confused me very much, a wave pool, a lazy river, the "hot tub" (it wasn't very much hotter), and the regular pool. In the regular pool, we found a Finding Nemo beach ball and we hit it around, trying not to let it touch the water. We must have done that for at least an hour. It was such a great time. I'm having an amazing stay here.
Tomorrow we visit Bergen-Belsen and then we stay in Hamburg overnight. It should be a great experience for all of the Americans to do some bonding. I'm nervous, but excited to see the concentration camp. It's going to be a rough day. I don't know what the wifi situation in Hamburg will be, so Ill check in when I can. Choos!
