first week in germany!

so our first week in germany has been...pretty eventful to say the least. i really like everyone in the group! in the four days we've been here we already have too many inside jokes and laugh at absolutely everything. its amazing.

my host family is AWESOME!!!! My host dad's name is Ralf, host mom-Michi, host brothers- Dennis and Lucas. The house is really cute and very spacious and I really like my room. Its the perfect size for me. It also has a cool overhead window that keeps my room at the perfect temperature! I can even keep it open when it rains =)

today was our first day of the program! we had a historical tour of Bonn led by the head of the AIB. he's a funny guy and gave a good tour. the overhead view of the Rhine was pretty sweet. today we also had our first german lesson!! HAHA, it was so funny. the guttural sounds we have to make are ridiculously hard. all i can confidently say is, "sprechen sie english?" and "ish hiesse Shyanie." I need to start learning numbers..stat. i think the following german lessons will be a big help..and give me and everyone else a good laugh!!

tomorrow is our first time to visit Köln!! i'm pretty excited. we also have a scavenger hunt in Bonn in the afternoon. I hope we can do the hunt in teams...or i will end up in a different city most likely. (i have no idea where i'm going in town) TEAM RAISIN WILL PREVAIL! bahaha.

over and out,
