Our Last Full Week in Germany!
Well this
week is our last full week in Germany, what an amazing experience we have had.
I have learnt so much about the culture and the language. I am able to
understand and speak with people it’s such an amazing feeling being able to
understand a language other than English. I couldn’t have asked for a
better host family they have been amazing and I have seen so much and learnt a
lot.
Christmas
is close and Germany is getting ready. There are lights that fill the streets
with color and when you drive through the towns it is so magical. I just wish
there was snow as that would make it even more beautiful.
On Friday I
went to the primary school in Rott Am Inn and visited my host brother's classes. I gave the class a presentation about Bright and
Australia, we also made lamingtons to take to the kids. It was very different
to our primary schools.
Martina took me to a Christmas market in the forest, it was amazing. The stalls were all made of wood and they had Christmas lights all over them and they just looked so beautiful.

Frankfurt:
Over the
weekend Andrea and I travelled to Frankfurt with Andrea’s Judo class because
they had a tournament on the Sunday. We got up bright and early
Saturday morning, hopped in the bus and then travelled about 6 hours to
Frankfurt, I have to admit the Autobahn is great. We stayed in a town about
10km away from Frankfurt called “Maintal.” On Saturday afternoon after arriving we
took the train to Frankfurt where we looked around and shopped. We went to the
tallest tower in Frankfurt, the “Main Tower”. It is also the first weekend of the
Christkindl Markt, and Frankfurt was packed. There were so many people at the
Christmas Market so it was quite difficult to look around, especially as the market
was so big. Frankfurt is such a beautiful city and being there at Christmas
makes it very special as they have the most amazing fairy light display.
Germany has
been the most amazing experience. I am so grateful that our
school can offer this program Thank you so much for the best time of my life.
