This week the school is holding the Schmalkalden Olympics. Yesterday they kicked off the Olympics with the opening ceremony which was held on campus and there was three portable bars brought in. I would say 1200 people or so showed up for the open air concert last night. After the opening ceremony the beer Athlon began, which is where you run 2 km in a team of 4 and drink five 16 ounce beers as fast as you can. We represented America by finishing top 10 out of 30 to 40 teams. Today we are playing basketball in the Olympics and tomorrow we get to tour a chocolate factory.
