Hallo! Today was a fun filled day in the city of Leipzig. We started off at around 8:30 at the school in Markkleeberg and then we head off on a nice, roughly two hour, bus tour of Leipzig. The tour was very interesting and it took us to all sorts of places in Leipzig such as the zoo, some historic churches, and the city hall, to name a few. We stepped off the bus at a monument to take some pictures. The monument was in memory of the battle that took place against Napoleon and Leipzig was one of the first cities to defeat Napoleon. After the bus tour we went to the Stazi museum where we had a museum employee give us a tour of the back parts. She showed us many of the files that the Stazi had of the people in Leipzig and it was very interesting to see thousands of file of people who used to live in Leipzig. After the Stazi museum we went our separate ways, but a big group went to get lunch at Vapiano which is a nice Italian restaurant that served pizza, salad, and pasta. It was a cafeteria-esk style where we were given a card upon entrance and then we we ordered our food our card was swiped and when we left the restaurant we gave the card to the cashier. After our fulfilling lunch we split up with our research partners and walked around Leipzig handing out surveys and talking to random German people which was very entertaining. We did this quite a while, walking through streets, going into malls, and even talking to people eating at little cafes. After this we met back up with our German partners and walked around for a little and then went home and had some delicious dinner. Others may have had dinner in Leipzig. Then after dinner we went back out to Leipzig and walked around during the night life which was equally interesting and entertaining as during the day. Today was an awesome day where we learned about Leipzig and got to hands on see what life really is like. I can't wait for tomorrow!
-Ryan
