Making bracelets in Munich

Today, Elisa, her host sister, my host sister and I went to Munich for a fun day out. We started by visiting some shops to buy souvenirs. I got a small charm with the German flag, and Elisa bought a cute postcard. After shopping, we walked around the city, enjoying the beautiful weather and the lively atmosphere. We even found a little street market with handmade crafts, which was really nice. Then, we went to a store where we made our own bracelets. I made one with Turkish evil eye beads, which are supposed to bring good luck, while my host sister created a beach-themed bracelet with little seashells and colorful beads. It was so fun to make them, and now we have a special reminder of the day. We ended the day with some ice cream, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Relax day

Today was a relaxing day. In the morning, we decided to watch a movie I’ve been wanting to see for a while. It was a comedy, and we really enjoyed it! It made me laugh a lot, and it was a great way to spend some time. After the movie, my host sister and I decided to do a craft together with Elisa and her host sister. We went to a local store in a near village to decorate mugs. We got some paints, brushes, and special markers, and then we spent the afternoon decorating our mugs with fun designs. I painted flowers on mine, while my host sister drew some lemons. It was so much fun, and I’m really proud of how they turned out! After finishing the mugs, we decided to bake a cake. It was a nice, calm day, and I’m happy we spent it doing something creative and relaxing.

A German party

Today was the birthday of a very good friend of my host sister, and she threw a party that we were invited to. Two other Spanish girls were also invited, so I wasn’t alone. I was really curious to see what parties are like here. The first difference is that they start much earlier. This one started at seven in the evening, while in Spain they usually start past midnight. It was in a party hall, and there was food, drinks, and candy for everyone. There weren’t many guests, so the room seemed a bit empty. Even so, it was fun. There was a photo booth, a game table, and a craft area. Music was playing all the time, and we spent the evening singing, having fun, mingling, and playing with the German girls.

My host family

My host family consists of the father, the mother, and three daughters. They are all very kind and affectionate with me. The mother is very cheerful and talkative, and she always tries to start a conversation with me. The father, although he’s not home as much, is very interesting and intelligent. The little sister is very fun and makes the best efforts to speak English with me. I think we are quite similar in some ways. The older sister is very intelligent like her father, but also cheerful and funny. Lastly, my host sister is lovely, very talkative, and kind to everyone. They also have a very energetic dog. I’m really happy that I ended up with such a welcoming and friendly family.

Trampolines park

Today we went to school like on a normal day. It was an entertaining morning because we had to give some presentations about Spain—its music, food, traditions... After that, instead of going home, we took the train to go to a trampoline park. I fell asleep on the train. The four Spanish girls who are here went, along with my host sister and one of her friends. Elisa’s sister couldn’t come. When we arrived, they gave us special socks and we went in. We tried all the trampolines, we jumped, we ran, and we got really tired. We played hide and seek, basketball... It was a lot of fun. After an hour and a half, we had to leave, but we were already exhausted.

The school

The school here is very different from the one in Spain. It’s much bigger and has more students. Here, they have children from a very young age up to 18 years old. It’s a school with wide hallways, three floors, seating areas, a cafeteria, a library... The classrooms are large and have windows that let in a lot of light. Since there are so many students, there aren’t enough classrooms. That’s why there are containers outside with more classrooms where lessons are also held. Students treat the teachers in a more distant way than in Spain. There are two breaks, and then a lunch break since they sometimes have classes in the afternoon. Everything is much more modern than in my Spanish school.

Elisa's birthday

Today is Elisa’s birthday, the other Spanish girl. We planned lots of things to celebrate it. First, we went to the bowling alley. We played a very competitive game, but Elisa, the birthday girl, lost. Then we played another kind of bowling game in pairs, and we tied. We had a great time. After that, we went to Elisa’s house. We had chocolate cake and cheesecake—both were delicious. Her host sister had made a piñata by hand, and we opened it with her little siblings and fought over the candy. We played different games, and Elisa’s cousin, who lives in Germany, came over. We all had burgers for dinner. It was a really fun day.
