Munster

Munster was the next stop on on travels. This was where we would all be spending the next month taking classes and experiencing Germany. We got really lucky because we were able to being in Europe during the World Cup and the German team made it through to the semi-finals. We went to a lot of the public viewings and got to see the city supporting the German players.
Our classes took place in 4 different buildings, but this building was the most interesting of the four.It was called the Schloss which mean castle. So we went to school in the castle!! I took an excel class and managerial accounting, they were both pretty fun but still a lot of work.  We also took a German class and we had a commerce/ German culture class once a week.
This building is where the Peace of Westphalia was signed. It's right in the middle of town, next to a huge scorched church. During WWII, most of the city of Munster was destroyed and had to be rebuilt so everything looks pretty new, even if it was built in a style that looks old-fashioned.
