I found your blog when I googled "what t...Hi,<br /><br />I found your blog when I googled "what to do on a Sunday in Bremen." =) I am a student from the US who just arrived in Bremen two weeks ago and I will be here for a year (with no trips home =/). It has taken a lot of adjusting to get used to all the new rules and customs but so far it has been managable. I'm still having a lot of trouble speaking with people but my listening comprehension has improved a bit. <br /><br />I had been in a smaller town called Marburg for six weeks prior to my arrival in Bremen. I was taking a language course there and by the end of the 6 weeks I felt like I knew Marburg very well. <br /><br />Bremen is much bigger and it'll take me a while longer before I feel like I know this place like the back of my hand.<br /><br />I'm glad I came upon your blog. It makes me feel better to know there are others who are going through/went through these adaptations that I have to go through now successfully. <br /><br />I hate that everything is closed on Sundays. If you have any tips on fun activities to do on Sunday, please let me know! Much appreciated.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161219674849127587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675319476309212487.post-22959592117944853562009-08-02T11:55:20.856-04:002009-08-02T11:55:20.856-04:00I am enjoying your blog and your experience in Ger...I am enjoying your blog and your experience in Germany. A new transplant myself in Bavaria (4 months now), I can totally relate to all you are going through. Having been an expat in China previous to this move, I know I will survive and grow, but there's no place like home, is there? As we embark on this new adventure, making the most of it will surely reap great rewards.Expats Againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179740220723589771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675319476309212487.post-56372902766183968122009-07-20T22:22:13.589-04:002009-07-20T22:22:13.589-04:00Just think of all the memories you're making t...Just think of all the memories you're making there!<br /><br />And don't forget to pick up a Pocket Edward when you're in the states!

I think it's in these times, when we're least aware of it, that we grow the most. There's an old saying that I love: "God is not as interested in my comfort as He is in my character." I don't always love living those words, but I do love the truth in them.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend "back home."Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145504027833176749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675319476309212487.post-65304646567711215742009-07-20T09:08:05.167-04:002009-07-20T09:08:05.167-04:00Glad to hear you've survived your first year. ...Glad to hear you've survived your first year.

It is hard to do when you are thrust into it for an unknown period of time, with no firm "end" in sight. I would imagine the planned family trips really do give you something to look forward to...we ALL need something to look forward to! :)OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675319476309212487.post-49836573033104168682009-07-20T07:22:39.165-04:002009-07-20T07:22:39.165-04:00Congrats on one year.

It's such a constant mix of emotions to live temporarily somewhere. The other night we attended a party where most everyone there had been in KL for about 8 yrs. It was such a refreshing change from the standard 2yr expat friends we've been hanging with. To be around people who have planted their feet and put everything into this foreign land as their home.<br /><br />But I do believe home follows you no matter where you are...just how you make the best of it. And while there are plenty of trials and tribulations, I think you've probably grown more than you can even imagine. Congrats on 1 year...and regardless of how many are to follow, I have a feeling you'll make the most of it.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246145246209889868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675319476309212487.post-44125356315365039422009-07-20T06:44:04.299-04:002009-07-20T06:44:04.299-04:00a life changing experience, one that someday you w...a life changing experience, one that someday you will look back on with wonder and amazement, joy and pride that you did it!<br />so your stay may be longer?....i have an idea....each month have one of your blogger friends come visit, the time will fly! :)<br />have a good week!<br />xokkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022641022304772371noreply@blogger.com
