A List
Two days after I arrived in Garmisch, I made a list of things that I had learned about the town and work so far. Here is that list, with updates as well:
What I Learned Today
14 September 2010
1. Garmisch has an H&M!!! (Update: I bought two pairs of jeans there a few weeks ago, upping my jean count to 3 pairs and bringing my checking account down 80 euros.)
2. There is a natural food store with better vegetarian selections than in the states. (Update: I wouldn't necessarily say its a better selection, but there is a lot of different flavors of tofu. I bought "elfen tofu", which ended up having the same taste and texture as paté. Blech.)
3. When someone in Europe says they will be there by 5pm, that means they'll be there by 8pm. Unless its Sunday. Then don't even bother waiting. (Update: This had to do with my bag being lost in transit for a few days. When it was finally found, someone at the airport was supposed to drop it in Garmisch at 3pm. Then 3pm became 5pm, and 5pm became 8pm. I think I finally got my bag that night around 10:30pm. At least I got it, right?)
4. There is another Kyrie working at Edelweiss. I shall find her. (Update: I found her! She spells her name 'Kiri', is a snowboard instructor and is really nice. She gives Kyrie's (or Kiri's) a good name.)
5. We get to use Rosetta Stone for free - any language we want! I must learn German. (Update: Rosetta Stone is nearly impossible to download on our computers due to crappy internet, so we have to go to the library on base to use it. I have yet to.)
6. In town there is a cake shop. Will work for free. (Update: NOT making cakes for the last two months has been very relaxing. Will continue to NOT make cakes as often as possible.)
7. A dirndl costs about 100 euro. I will be going to two Oktoberfests. Is it worth it? (Update: Yes, it is worth it. Have I bought a dirndl yet? No. I would rather travel.)
