wilkommen, bievenuem, welcome

After a difficult and tearful goodbye with the Dottie this morning it was time for me to head to the lovely international office on Poppelsdorf Allee.

Found it easy enough but don't think I have ever been in a room with so many foreign people at one time; chinese, italien, french, turkish, austrian( not sure if they count!) - were all registering up for ERASMUS. Had to fill in a form which was half English half German...I tell you trying to learn German here is going to be tough as most people can speak English or somehow recognise you are English and come to your rescue.

Hats off to the deputy lord mayor who came to do his welcoming speech at the opening talk and did it in about 7 different languages which was uberly impressive. Also met an ace austrian person who has come here to do law with ERASMUS and she lives in the next building so in the words of Daniel Hillard in Mrs Doubtfire, 'I think I made a friend'.

My phone is sorted now so for ya'll reading this via Facebook drop me a line and I will send it on to you. But for now it is time to eat some soup and then go drinking with everyone tonight
