Former Soccer Star Kat Tarr Part 2

Hello Again Tigers and Tiger Fans!!

Today was another great day in Berlin..although the weather is a bit cold..ok ok its is freezing..I am still excited about being in Germany and getting the incredible opportunity to play soccer! This morning my roomie and I woke up in our new apartment. We live in a suburb of Berlin called Wansee (pronounced Vanzee), it is such a beautiful place and is surrounded by water. In the summer thousands of Berliners come to Wansee to swim and take in the sun's rays. The landlords of our apartment are two identical twins around sixty who are HUGE Tebe fans. Unfortunately, they don't speak any English so my communication with them consists mostly of smiles and high fives..these guys LOVE high fives. They have even put up a picture of Amanda and I in the front Lobby, and knocked on our door to show us...they are really awesome! We have also received a car from Tebe, it is a Volkswagen Fox. It is a little silver car with big snow tires on it, which Amanda and I need for driving in the crazy amounts of snow they have here in Berlin. Once we woke we picked up the two Ghana girls on our team, Romanatu Tahiru and Florence Okua, and drive to practice. It is really nice spending time with Ro and Flo because they speak English, and have also been on the team for a while, so they can speak a bit of German too!



Practice was fun because we got to train indoors, instead of running in the snow which we sometimes do. I really like playing with the German girls because they are so skilled with their feet. I think that I bring a bit of Missouri Flair to the team as well. We played a game to work on winning balls in the air, and whenever the ball dropped I would yell "don't let the ball DROP!" This is a favorite quote of Bryan Blitz, my coach at Mizzou, and it is also a mentality. I am not sure if my team mates understood exactly what I meant and first, but soon they got the jist of it and were fighting for air balls like true tigers...it was really awesome. After practice, we dropped Ro and Flo off and decided to head downtown Berlin and check out the city. We were really cold from practice, so we decided to drive instead of waiting for the S Bahn, which is the public transportation train station. On our way to downtown, we kind of got lost. We saw signs that said “Ausfahrt" on the autobahn but were like, "we don't want to go to Ausfahrt, we want Berlin!" We continued driving and driving and all signs were pointing to this GIANT town Ausfahrt. Somehow every road off of the autobahn was Ausfahrt and we thought that it must be bigger than Berlin. Lost and frustrated we called our new German teacher Fabian and asked for directions. We told him "we keep seeing signs to Ausfahrt but not to Berlin. Fabian laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed on the phone, but Amanda and I were so confused what was funny. Fabian proceeded to tell us that Ausfahrt is NOT a city, but in fact the German word for EXIT. Amanda and I laughed so hard and figured we would make many more mistakes like this one in the future. Downtown Berlin was AMAZING..and we even met some Australian guys who play for a men's soccer team about an hour outside of Berlin. When we got home, Amanda and I crashed. We were full from the currywurst and pommes that we ate, and we were tired from the little bit of jet leg that remained in our bodies. Oh ya curry wurst is a type of sausage and pommes are French fries. What is funny is that they eat their French fries with GLOBS of mayonnaise. The love Mayo here..I could seriously barely see a single French fry underneath the pounds of white mayo. Well I am off to bed and can't wait for a new adventure tomorrow. My advice I leave with you tonight..all roads lead to Ausfahrt!

Till Next Time,

MIZ...
