Linzen mit Spätzle

Hallo!

It is time to finish first week and start a blog.
So here I am, exchange in Hochschule der Medien(HdM) in Stuttgart Germany, and this blog is about my time here. Writing in (bad?) english, because Finns don't speak Germany (I'm speaking little) and maybe someone else might be actually interested in my experiences.

What?

Little specs from city:
Stuttgart is capital of Baden-Wurttenberg, which is one of the states in Germany.
Baden-Wurttenberg is third largest area and populated in Germany and Stuttgart is sixth largest city in Germany.
Population (in Germany): 80 million people
Population ( in Baden-Wurttenberg): 10 million
Population ( in Stuttgart): 5 million

I don't know where to start, just been so amazing.. :)
I came here week ago on friday 26.2 with aeroplane without knowledge where I had myself got into. Well, I read the wikipedia article of course, but that is not the whole truth.. People speaking everywhere German and never been in Germany or Stuttgart.. Whoa!
Weather changed from Finland's warm winter weather( -10 or something, snowing) to Stuttgart's warm winter weather(+10, raining and sun shine) and magically all snow disappeared on the way.
And then she was there, Michaela, who was my student buddy from HdM. She came there to pick me up from the airport and to get me through the city to the student hotel in city center, where I stayed three nights, because I couldn't get my keys to accomodation until 1.3.
And she was even kind to show me little about the city on weekend and tell me about the city and took me to eat traditional food Spätzle, that's for the title, meal I ate.
Thank you so much Michaela. :)

Then it was time to move in our perminent accomodation in Student Wohnheim near the school in Vaihingen. Well, it's like Teekkarikylä in Espoo with full of crazy germans.
Room is OK, the bathroom allmost OK (without the funky smell) and the kitchen was like WTF?! So dirty at first and looked like junkyard with broken sofas and old tv. Now i'm little bit used to it and it is tolerable.
Then there was much paperwork to do (accomodation, bank account, etc.) and tours and drinking and getting know the other exchange students. Whole week just went by so fast.
Now it is saturday, some guided tours to local sightseeings and SNOW! Weird stuff to the locals.
Rained all morning and probably will be gone on monday.

Maybe this is a good start, don't want to write everything, because then I would have to write a bible. There has been so many thing happened here. Tsüss :)

P.S Getting on with the German language.
