Day 1 of exchange


My first night was sehr gut! All of my host family and the head of the youth exchange committee met me at the airport in Graz. I was a bit stunned for it all but it was very exciting. My flight wasn’t too bad, except maybe the one from Seattle to Frankfurt. The seats were very narrow and close together, but there was a small movie screen in fort of each seat and I was very surprised by their movie selection, I watched The Avengers and an episode of Modern Family.

My family drove me home pointing out various building and things in the city of Graz. One that I really remember is the swimming pool called the Auster. It’s a very interesting, blue building that kind of looks like an oyster. We arrived at their house, they have a very big house, and I was given a tour and stuff. My favorite part is the view from their balcony overlooking the city. We all sat down to eat a torte my host mother had made witch was very good and talked. I’m so lucky that my family speaks a lot English with me and are very willing to teach things in German too. They say that when I get back from  German camp they will speak more German with me. I really looking forward to going in four days, I hope I learn a lot there.
