Here at last I have planned this journey to Germany for years and finally I have been able to say all my goodbyes to everyone and packed my life into my daggy old brown suitcase with only a small amount of cash I begin my. Changing the path of my life in a completely different country is something some people are only ever able to dream of but for me it has become a reality. My only worry is that it will take time before I fit in, for the time being I'm an outsider. Nothing about me is the same as them. I look different, I talk different and I even act different. I know it's going to take a while to get used to, but I'm not sure if I can wait that long.

Walking through the streets I keep my head down and feet straight avoiding unnecessary contact with any other individual but I am not oblivious to the fact that these people are observing my every move like and eagle and their prey. Trying to sympathise and understand why I look up and half-heartedly smile only to be greeted with a flock of fingers flying right in my direction. At no timing in my planning did I prepare for this.

"Why did I choose to come here, what did I get myself into?"

The bizarre creature gives me the key to my room, but I don't go there. I can't comprehend the blast of emotions that will hit me once I open the door. I decide to venture around the creepy motel, "Be a tourist," I tell myself. "Maybe people won't stare at you."

For a while it works, I just dawdle looking at the beautiful monuments and architecture forgetting about what people are thinking of me. I am fully immersed in the history and excitement of this town. Without even realising a weight is lifted of my shoulders and I get that feeling I was waiting so long for, a feeling of acceptance.
