Studying Abroad

Studying abroad is something that I and a lot of my friends are doing. While I have a really hard course load and can't really do it during the school year, a lot of my friends can and are. It makes me so jealous because when I want to study abroad it will have to be over the summer and I will have to miss out on spending that time with my friends, but I am pretty sure that it will be worth it. My friends on the other hand are for the most part, all studying abroad this year. One of them is in Barcelona right now and is traveling all over. The other one is in Ireland (which really makes me jealous) and another is in Italy. They all travel all over and see sights and go out and party and even meet up with each other sometimes. They are there for the whole semester and I am so jealous and also excited for them. My other two friends are going to Barcelona next semester (not together) but they are so excited and that is all that they talk about. So this year I started looking into places that I would want to go and getting material together so I can go over the summer this summer or next.
A few places that I am considering are Paris, Germany and Barcelona. A lot of my friends went to Barcelona and had such a great time, or they are going next semester and I have heard so much about what they are planning to do when they get there and it all sounds really exciting, plus I speak Spanish so it would probably be the best choice for me.
However Germany and Paris are to other places that I really am considering. The problem with Germany though is that I do not know one word. I was looking at a brochure and saw the word aufkleber and had to look it up like in 5 different places to be able to find the meaning. What I read was: Aufkleber sind eines der am meisten eingesetzten Werbemittel weltweit, und kšnnen in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen zum Einsatz kommen. Eingesetzt werden Aufkleber als Produktwerbung, Autoaufkleber, Vereinsaufkleber oder Adressaufkleber. Der Fantasie sind im Aufkleberdruck keine Grenzen mehr gesetzt. Selbst Fotos kšnnen Ÿberzeugend gedruckt werden.

Im Aufkleberdruck stehen verschiedene PVC-Folien zur VerfŸgung. Hier wird zwischen der FolienqualitŠt und der Folienfarbe unterschiedenen.

Durch den Einsatz moderner Digitaldruckmaschinen kšnnen Aufkleber in verschiednen Grš¤en, Formen und StŸckzahlen hergestellt werden. Im Digitaldruck hergestellte Aufkleber kšnnen mehrere Jahre im Au¤enbereich eingesetzt werden und sind witterungsbestŠndig. 

In Deutschland setzen sehr viele Firmen Digitaldruckmaschinen ein, die Aufkleber in einem Arbeitsgang drucken und in die gewŸnschte Form schneiden. So kšnnen Aufkleber auch in verschiedenen Formen hergestellt werden. Paris on the other hand is probably my top choice. It seems like such a great city with so much history and so many things to see (not to mention shopping). It is my dream to go there and I am pretty sure that is where I am going to pick. I might do a 3 week London and Paris trip through the school. It would be amazing to be able to go and then still come home for the rest of the summer.
