Today was Fasching, a German holiday that occurs right before Lent. People dress up in costumes, kinda like Halloween. Even the people that worked the dining hall dressed up! Following German tradition, our professor brought us these jelly donuts called Pfannkuchen. It was light and airy and rolled in sugar. YUM! She told us that one of them was filled in mustard, so we were all afraid of biting in to them. Apparently this is a little joke German parents play on their children, and none of them had mustard. Speaking of jokes, we also learned that when German children wouldn't eat their soup, parents would tell them about a boy who didn't eat his soup then died. A little graphic, no?
On another note, we started planning our breaks today! We booked a flight to London, and then from there we'll travel around France, Spain and Italy for the first break. Then off to Croatia and Greece for the second. SOOOO EXCITED! :D
