Day 68: Crowded Buses

I wrote two papers today and Julia came down to get the rest of her stuff. She and I went up to Fichtenweg to hang out the group at Kuckucks (which turned out to be the absolute WORST club I have ever seen). I spent about 20 minutes up there and then headed straight for the bus stop to go home. I met up with Matt at the bus stop and on the way down the hill, at the last stop, about 100 people got on the bus. This is not an exageration. I had never seen anything like it before. People were sitting on each other, standing on the back of seats and in the isle like sardines. I could believe it! As the bus tried to move, you could here it hitting the road because of the weight of all the people. I'm surprised we made it to the hbf without any tires blowing. So because of this believe-it-or-not moment, the bus was about 10 minutes late getting to the bus station so I missed the next bus home and another wasn't coming for aobut an hour so I had to call a taxi and spend an extra 7 euros to get home. LAME!

When I got home, I did get to skype with many of my friends from home. My mom had a dinner party and a bunch of my family friends were there. It was really nice to see them and I was happy to talk with them :). Although sometimes I do feel like I'm missing out on the lives of my friends and family while I'm here.
