The memories and friends I made in Germany are going to hopefully stay with me for the rest of my life. The experience was so much more than I could ever have hoped for. whenever anyone asks me how the trip was I'm excited to tell them of everything: from Berlin and learning how to travel on the bahnhoff to my new "family" in Nürtingen whom I miss so very much already. The Germany trip expanded my limited understanding of an amazing culture I knew little about. Speaking to anyone I could while over there turned out to be the best parts of the trip. having conversations with an Australian traveling the world, a German politician on business in Berlin, A shop teacher urging anyone to step in and join the students making wooden spoons, a lunch lady that just kept telling me to "take more food", and other staff and students at the Waldorf school, these along with the many teachers and students in Nürtingen and the many, many people I talked to in shops and buses truly showed me the meaning of being polite and friendly to complete strangers just for the sake of being polite and friendly.
