day 2 in munster

our first sunday in munster was pretty nice.
all the shops are closed in germany on sundays, so we decided to stay-in and just laze around
natalie came over from werlandstrasse, and we cooked up a storm of a lunch for ourselves since the entire family went out for mother's day celebrations (:
did i mention, that the man of the house is a CEO of a large food company?
they have TONS of food laying around in the cellar, and we were told to have anything we liked for lunch
so janice and i made up 2 large pizzas, and baked up 4 already-marinated-fish-fillets for lunch
omgggg. IT. WAS. HEAVEN.

anyway. we went for teabreak at this place called the schlossgarten (read: castle garden)
had quite a nice time catching up with the other students on exchange here
and then we visited the botanischer garten with lionel's host family
(who knew almost everything about flowers, history, and about everything)

all of us went trigger happy in the garten, simply because it was sooo beautiful
these were some of the shots







the flora there were absolutely stunning, and their colours breathtaking
here's a shot of us with lionel's host man


and janice and i with our wonderful host family! (:


at night, we had a family dinner with our host, including their daughters and their boyfriends
they cooked up a typical german dinner, with potatoes, asparagus, steak, and carrots
it was so nice, that i even had carrots tho i dont like carrots
but everyone was speaking too quickly for me to catch much of what was exchanged in german
all i understood was: langsam sprechen für die Singapurer bitte
read: speak slower for the singaporeans please.

maybe the lessons starting tomorrow will help a little..
