Clothing Optional Beyond This Point

With so much German vocabulary floating about my brain it is rather impossible to think of a nice segue into this post, so let us begin like this:

Nakedness is generally acceptable in Germany, and age is no hindrance to participation in this trend. Frequently seen is the short-short in men over fifty, especially whilst puming gas and gardening. And if shorts still feel a bit too constrictive, feel free to don your Speedo around the neighborhood- everyone's doing it! In the house clothing is of even less importance. The saying, "It's only family," seems to be quite applicable to life in Germany. My bathroom door is made of glass, and so is the shower. But fret not; we have a translucent curtain on the door so as to be slighlty more modest.

Well on that note let's talk about my life in Germany, finally. I bet you're wondering what I actually do here considering I've only talked about little things I find amusing up until now. Well... I go to school...

And I go to birthday parties...

which means canoeing sometimes....

And I spend time with my new family and family friends...

who spontaneously come over to cut my hair...



And other than that my life seems pretty normal, but don't worry, I won't be that exchange student who thinks their life has become too regular and boring to post about it. Everyday I run into funny differences between Germany and the US and sooner or later I'll get around to writing something about them. So until then, tschau!
