All of my female students complain that there is nowhere to shop in
Melle for trendy clothes... well, they're right! Whenever I ask them
where I should go to get my European fashion on, the general
consensus is either Osnabrück or Münster. We've been to Osnabrück
too many times to count, so Alex and I rode the train for an hour
into Münster to explore this foreign city.
My
girls didn't steer me wrong, the streets were lined with great shops
where I could buy some new clothes and finally blend in here. About
time, right? Alex even bought some mustard yellow jeans. We we're
really turning into our German doppelgängers.
Apart from shopping, we walked around the very youthful city and sat
in the park among every other college student enjoying the beautiful
day. Bicycles are the way to get around the city, though. Everyone
and their mother gets around by bike. It is allegedly the best way to
see the city.
Alex and I also walked through the botanical gardens at the
University of Münster/Palace... yes, yet another palace turned into
a university. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but it was a
hot day in Germany. So hot that we actually bought ice cream at the
end of our visit. I'm not a big cheese fan, so we opted for another
dairy product instead.
Now, my next hurdle is to figure out how to pack all these new
clothes....
