Day Two!

Short post today, y'all (just remembering my American English there).  Today was more orientation: discussions about academic advising, extracurricular activities, and a lecture on common law.  That last lecture was given by a British professor, basically a 90-minute recap of 1L year.  He apologized to all the British and American students, but I'm still not sure why we were discussing common law instead of learning about the German law.  Oh well, at least he threw some jokes in :)

We took a bus tour after, which was nice to get an overview of the city.  We revisited some spots that I had already seen but saw different aspects and heard new facts of it.  By the end, I think most of the bus was asleep, but that was more of a function of the long day than the bus tour itself.  Back at Bucerius, we were served pretzels and wine, apparently a tradition for the law school.

Long day tomorrow, so I'll wrap it up with some pictures from the tour:

Of course it was a Benz bus

First picture of the trip that I've actually been in! Yay new friends!

Hamburg skyline

Fun fact: Hamburg has more bridges than London, Venice, and Amsterdam combined

Hey look, its city hall again!
