The match finished as a draw: 1-1. I managed to practice my German upon entry to the ground asking for help, as well as ordering food and drinks at the ground. ]]> 2018-10-30 12:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298454991 arjpierce1 https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298456271 Upon landing into Cologne airport, my friends and I had to purchase train tickets from the station, as well as tram tickets throughout the stay. I ensured that I spoke to the ticket office; asking for tickets in German.]]> 2018-10-30 12:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298456271 arjpierce1 https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298457844 After watching the Football, we had some spare time, so we decided to go to the cinema and watch Johnny English (in German). At parts it was quite hard to understand what was going on, but Rowan Atkinson's features are recognisable in any language ]]> 2018-10-30 12:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298457844 arjpierce1 https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298458034 On Sunday, my friends and I wanted to see what the German music has to offer. We decided shuffle Spotify's German charts 1-50 for an hour whilst chilling in the apartment. There was lots of German rap, as well as some more recognisable English songs / artists such as Dua Lipa.]]> 2018-10-30 12:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298458034 arjpierce1 https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298460367 Throughout the weekend, I was sure to sample what the German food had to offer. On the first evening we went to a BierHaus - and tried a Schnitzel; as well as the local beer - Kölsch. The next evening we sampled a national favourite - Bratwust - yummy!]]> 2018-10-30 12:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arjpierce1/tog4mmitlm74/wish/298460367
