Assistantship Course in Cologne

It's like starting uni all over again.

"Hi, I'm Lynne. What's your name?"
"Amanda*" [*name has been changed]
"Hi Amanda, where are you from?"
"Nottingham, you?"
"I'm from Belfast but I study in Newcastle. Which uni are you at?"
"Leeds [seriously, everybody is from Leeds Uni] Where are you going?"
"To a small town in Sachsen, west of Dresden [I can see by the faces they have no idea where that is]
"Oh right, I'm going to Hamburg [never been but there are a zillion people going there]
"Oh cool, that's meant to be lovely"
...............etc etc

It's exhausting but worthwhile.
