My Time In Germany

On the 24th of September, We left for Germany. After a long tiring flight we arrived in Munich. There was a man there to collect us. He took us to school. We arrived at school, and did what we had to, then it was time to go and meet our host families. Then I'd say most of us had a quiet Saturday. On Sunday we had brunch with everyone and their host families, it was good to catch up with the rest of the Aussies. On Monday was our first full day at school, it was a bit different at first because of the classes and break, on the Wednesday of this week we had "Wandertag" which is a day organised by the class and the teacher, Sam, Abbey and my Class plus another class went bowling, I thought it was a really fun day and it was great to just mingle with some different Germans.
On Thursday we went to Passau and that was a fantastic expirence for me and I thought it was absolutely amazing, and such a beautiful view from just down the hill from where we were staying, the next day we went to a Bavarian National Park.
Then I had a great weekend with my Familie. On Wednesday the 6th of October we went to the Amerung Museum, it was a place with old houses from back in the day and a little more resent one, which was built in 1882. Then we went to the Chiemsee, and got on a boat and went to the Herrenchiemsee, we went to the castle on there and it was so beautiful and amazing, the colours were outstanding.
Then on the Friday we did a orientation of Bad Aibling, and ended that by going threw the Heimat Musuem, and some others went to the Therme for swimming.
On the weekend I went with my Family to Salzburg, it was amazing, I had the best time, We walked up the busiest street and then walked to a dome and looked inside then went on a great, hard walk up to a Castle, although the walk was hard the end result was amazing, the view of Austria was fantastic, it was my favourite weekend in Germany.
Then on Wednesday the 13th Mr Pryor arrived and we travelled to Munich for a day trip, there we walked around the city for a little bit, the went to BMW, that was crazy watching cars been made, its such a odd process, with all the robots, then we had free time and went shopping then we went back to Rosenhiem. The next day we went and met the Deputy Mayor of Bad Aibling, I learnt alot about the town. This weekend was our final weekend with our families, I went into Rosenhiem with Angelina and did some shopping, then we went home and had a quiet night, the next day was a special day in Bavaria, at 12.oo noon we went to a Restraunt and had a Bavaraian Meal, it was different but tasty, then we went to my aunts and had some cake, and said our goodbyes.
On Thursday the 21st we met at the train station and said our goodbyes, there was lots of tears, and we then set off for Berlin, 8 hours later we arrived and caught a train and bus to where we were staying in the Europa Hotel, it was very nice accommodation, The next day we went to "The Story of Berlin" it was very interesting, then we went into a Bunker under a car park, it was a horrible feeling being down there, I really enjoyed that day.
The day after that we went to the Pergamonmuseum, it was amazing inside and very interesting, we went to an Australian restraunt for lunch, after that we went shopping until 5.00pm, later that night we went to the Reichtag, which is the Federal Parliament, the wait was long, and chilly, then when we got inside we got an elevator up to the top and got headsets that told us about the things we could see, then we went back to the hotel.
On our final day in Germany we went into the centre of town and Michelle gave us a tour, first we went back to the Reichtag, and then to the Brandonburg Gate, and then we walked around and then we went to the Jewish Memorial, and walked through that, we then went to the Berlin Wall, Then to Check Point Charlie and had some lunch and a look around, and went home and packed for the next day too leave, we Flew with everyone from Berlin to Munich and there Frank, Michelle, Josh, Ryan and Eleisha got off, and Mr Pryor came home with the rest of us, after a long trip we arrvied in Melbourne, to find our families waiting, with lots of hugs and kisses and tears.
It is good to be home, but Germany will be greatly missed, it was such and amazing experience.
I would like to Thank firstly Mr and Mrs Kusch for everything they did, it would of been a hard job looking after all of us, and secondly I would like to thank my host family I didn't only make a friend but a second family, I will miss them and hope to see them again one day.
Thanks to all the teachers at the school and Herr Lerher and Frau Kreplin
