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.

The adventure begins!!

  Today our German adventure has begun. The dad of the other Spanish girl I´m going with to Germany drove us to Bilbao, loaded with our suitcases and backpacks. When we arrived at the airport, we checked in everything and spent a good while browsing the duty-free shop. We were nervous, but we distracted ourselves with each other’s company. On the plane, everything went great, although takeoff and landing scare me a little. We arrived in Germany and our host families were waiting for us with open arms. We met our host sisters, who will be with us for more than two months, and the two of us Spanish girls had to separate. The journey from the airport to my new home took an hour, which I used to get to know my host family better. They are very kind and talkative, and I know I’ll be very comfortable with them. When we arrived, I was very tired. They showed me the whole house and my room, and I unpacked my suitcases. For dinner, they ordered sushi, which I love. Today I went to bed early...

First day of school

Today was the first day we went to the German high school, Christoph Probst Gymnasium. Even though I wasn’t thrilled about having to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to catch the train and arrive on time, I was very excited. When I got there, I met up with Elisa, the other Spanish girl who came with me, and together with our host sisters we went to class. The school really surprised me—it’s very big and full of people. The classes were quite enjoyable, and although I don’t understand the language well, I still found it interesting. During the first break, we went to the cafeteria and I bought myself a donut. During the second break, we took the opportunity to explore the school. Since Elisa had already been there, she was able to show me around very well. It’s great to be able to see how everything works here.
