Kiel Day 1

Thursday we left for Kiel so that Matthias could make his presentation. We thought we would meet with the professor first and then go to his class around 1 to make the presentation but when we arrived around noon the professor changed the plan and Matthias gave his presentation then. So after a quick 10 minute talk we headed out to meet Matthias' friends in Kiel.

On our way to their house we actually saw Matthias's friend Anika walking home from work so we stopped to pick her up. We met Soren at the apartment and then headed out to grab a bite to eat. We ended up eating some Turkish doner after a failed attempt to get Chinese food. After that we decided to pick up some groceries. Between Matthias' love for candy and Anika insisting that I try lots of different things we ended up with a good size grocery cart with lots of candy and goodies. In the evening we played several board games (and ate lots of candy). Anika and Soren collect board games and have some very different ones. They were a lot of fun to play and they were nice enough to explain the rules to me in English so that I had a fair chance of winning...even though that didn't seem to help much.
