I've been in Germany for about 7 weeks. A lot of things happened in just 7 weeks, but I've only got one picture to show for it. Maybe I'll start carrying my camera around a little more.
On Halloween I slept over at the house of my liason. She went on her exchange last year to Bolivia, and this year she is volunteering for AFS.
This week I'm on Herbst vacation. It's just for one week. I am so glad I'm not going to school this week. You wouldn't expect it, but going to school in Germany is painfully boring if you don't understand the language. You sit in a class where the teacher is talking about something, using really fast German. For an exchange student, the purpose of school is to make friends, since actually participating in academics isn't going to happen. But most kids are so focused on school that they don't have the time to talk to you.
This Wednesday I am going to hangout with Sze Wan, an exchange student from Hong Kong. I'm going to take the train to the city and have lunch with her. After, we'll probably go to her house.
