Gegenbesuch

After much planning, preparation and excitement the Bright P-12 College Exchange group departed Tullamarine airport on Friday 23 September to complete the German part of the 2016 reciprocal exchange program. We were all very excited to meet up again with the friends we made during the exchange visit in Bright earlier this year.  For a number of students in the group, this was their first time to be visiting another country.

The flights were long and no one was really able to sleep much.  We were all grateful for the in-flight entertainment that helped pass the hours.  

The final farewell at Tullamarine

'Frequent flyers'

Another very relaxed traveller

The stopover in Bangkok was challenging.  We were all feeling very tired and just wanted to sleep.  Some of us found a spot to lie down and rest while we waited. 

The sign and the smiles say it all...We made it!

We were all happy and relieved to find each and every suitcase had arrived in Munich with us.

We have now spent a beautifully warm and sunny weekend in Bad Aibling and surrounds with host families  Tomorrow the next part of the adventure will begin, with students attending their first day of school at the Wirtschaftsschule Alpenland.

Stay tuned for more blog entries, as each student writes about their experiences and impressions of their time on exchange.
