Soccer, Stuttgart, Concerts and more

Hello all,





So yesterday was our first concert and it was absolutely amazing! We played our set and the crowd loved it. They clapped so much that we just had to play an encore. The audience really like Godzilla Eats Las Vegas and The White Rose March. Throughout the March, people clapped and the lightng technician even made the lights dance and change color! There was even reports of some people jumping up and down! Today, we traveled to Stuttgart to visit the Mercedes-Benz mueum which was alot of fun. I especially liked getting to see the pope-mobile (yes it is actually called the pope-mobile) and going into the race simulation. It was so much fun. It had actuall footage from races that a Mercedes won, and it moved the capsule and the steering wheel to match the footage. Oh, it was so much fun! Unhappily though, we lost our second soccer match against the Germans. But I guess it is more about the experience instead of the outcome. It was still a great experience to represent our country in an international soccer match. And even though we were two seperate teams and countries, the soccer game and the exchange has brought us closer together than most global citizens. Tonight we are going to go out and have some more fun. I will have to tell you more later!
