Luneburger Bachorchester
So today was Sunday. Everything was closed. The only things that were open were doner kebab shops and cafes, thank God! I guess that’s all you really need when it comes down to it. Doners and a place to drink beer outside. Anyways, the buses didn’t start until 1:00, so I laid around my apartment until it was time to leave for the second part of orientation. During the orientation, they handed out prizes for the teams who finished in the top 3 for the scavenger hunt. Our group won travel umbrellas. Very handy, but I already have one. I always get prizes when I travel abroad, and they’re always in trivia games. Last time I traveled, it was a $20 bar tab in Edinburgh and a hat, keychains, and other beer merchandise in Berlin. I wonder what else I’ll win on this trip. We had another 4 boring hours, and then, since none of the other USAC students wanted to, I headed back to Am Sande for a doner, Am Markt for a beer and people watching, and then onto St. Michaeliskirche for the Bachwoche (Bach week).
Today was Bach und Beethoven. It was pretty nice. One of the female soloists sounded like what I think the Lorely would’ve sounded like. I was very impressed, and the accoustics of the church helped too. The guys weren’t all that great though. Whole thing lasted about two hours. I like Bach and Beethoven, but two straight hours was a little too much.
Afterwards, I walked the 2 1/2 mile walk to my apartment again. I really need a cell phone. Apparently, Luneburg has a taxi service that runs after 9pm that will pick you up (might have to wait 30 min. after calling), and will take you to anywhere in Luneburg for 2,80 Euros. I’ll definitely have to take advantage of that. I like the excersise, but it’s really boring. Especially at night.
God. School starts tomorrow…
