Customs and traditions

One thing I noticed is that German people are very punctual. If something starts at a certain time, everyone arrives on time. They also respect the rules a lot, both at school and on the streets.

Another tradition is the importance of family time. Many people spend their evenings at home, have dinner together and talk about their day.

I also saw some local celebrations and small events in the town. Even if they are not very big, people enjoy them and participate actively. It shows how they care about their community.

Something that caught my attention is how organized everything is. Public places are clean, transport works well, and people usually follow the norms.

Learning about these customs is helping me understand the German culture better. It is very enriching to see how people live in another country, and it makes you open your mind.

Arrival in germany

My mum brought me, Alejandro and Yaiza to the airport at 9 o'clock, so we could take the plane relaxed. We completed the papelwork and entered the plane. I was so exciting and nervous as well for meeting my host family. The flight was quite calm, and when we got to Germany there was so many snow, all the landfarms, forests, towns and roads was covered by a pretty tight snow layer. We arrived at the airport, but we didn't know where go to meet our host-families! Following some signs of lugage, we entered a fast train which brought us to a large room with so many exits. We continued following that signs and we got to the lugage room, where waiting for our lugage got it. Then we asked somme local workers to find the exit, and they showed us the way. And... there were our host-family!!! We greet each other, and I went to their house. They showed me the house, and I unpacked my clothes in my room. I was really surprised because they had a sauna! Later, at half past six, we had dinne...

First day at school

Imagen
 I woke up at 6:30 and I had a fast breakfast and at 7:05 we left the house. It war really snowed and soooo beautifull. I really like how the snow stand on the tree branches and doesen't fall. I went with Mona to the bus stop, where we took a bus to the school. I had tecnology,  but the teacher wasn't there, so Alejandro(my friend) and I went to the library, there we didn't have something to do, so we explored the school. It has 3 flats with many classrooms and wide aisles. It also have a canteen, a assembly hall and a large yard when the kids can play. Then I had phisics, Alejandro and I ate on the canteen and finally we played basket at sports. I had a very good feelings about this school, all the people looks nice! Mona and I took the train and the bus for getting home, then I studied some spanish school stuff, then we had dinner and we went to bed. Here is a picture of my timetable of germany

First weekend

On my first weekend in Germany I did many things, and it was really funny. On Saturday, all the Spanish students went to the bowling alley with our German partners. At the beginning I thought I was going to play very bad, but finally I did some good throws and I even won one game! We were laughing all the time and talking about the differences between Spain and Germany. It was a very good moment to know each other better. Later that weekend, Mona and I went for a walk around the lake of Weßling, the village where she lives. Everything was covered with snow and the landscape looked like a postcard. The lake was partially frozen and the trees were completely white. It was very quiet and relaxing, very different from my city in Spain. On Sunday we went ice skating with Alejandro, Chiara and Mona. At first I couldn’t keep the balance and I almost fell many times, but after some minutes I improved. Alejandro fell once and it was very funny. We stayed there for a long time until we were very...
