The day I finally met Knut

So, anybody who lived with me last year is well aware that I developed somewhat of an obsession for a little polar bear called Knut (Knut, Knut, kleine Eisbär aus dem Zoo!).  For those of you not in the know, Knut is the best polar bear in the world; he was born in Berlin zoo but his mother rejected him (what a meanie) and so he was raised by zoo keepers.  This is him -

Today, I finally got to see him for myself as I went to the zoo with some language assistant buddies.  And yes, he is as cute in real life (if not a bit cuter).  I found it funny because Knut even has his own merchandise stall in the zoo where you can buy Knut posters, calendars, armbands, bookmarks....

We also went to a great Italian restaurant by my school today and I managed to wangle me an English cup of tea (it was in a glass and the waiter refused to call it anything but black tea with milk, but it still tasted great!).

School was really fun too today.  In one class the topic was "Things I like about Katy" (hehe) and my favourite answer was "she always smiles".  I hope you are all happy xx
