All the amazing exchange students I met in Neuruppin!

Cake (torte) here is delicious, not as sweet, and so much better.

I went to the anniversary of the my host family's relatives, this was just the start.

buildings are beautiful here, they of course had hundreds of years to get it that way, but it really is nice.

Probably one of the best desserts I ever ate, the sour cherries with sweet fluffy cream. Amazing.

Eier Liquour. aka. hard Eggnog. Also at the anniversarry.

We learned a funny German clapping game last year at foreign language day, they actually play it as part of tradition, I was so excited.

Probably the second (?) time I ever went to church. They baptized the baby in white, but the whole time the little girl in red was running around and trying to put wrappers up the other girl's skirt.

My host father, Christoph, stayed a week longer after us and worked here to build a house.

The aunt and Uncle (Their anniversary weekend once again) kept lots of animals, including bees.

They are shy because they know that in Germany, bunnies = food

He was a friendly kitty

Classy Europeans and their energy efficiancy.

That is basically how things look in a small town. This was Klettern, with the host family's family.

Driving home... 

Right side: Germany, 

Left side: Poland!

Polish is apparently related to Russian... I can believe that. It sounds so cool too!

My ten minutes walking around Poland, here is driving home, but really, it was a bit sketchy.

We went mushroom picking for about 3 hours. I feel pro about it.

It is so hard not to pack too much, this was on the bus to the first exchanger meeting.

I love Berlin.

For the orientation we stayed 2 nights at a youth Hostel.

"Pumpkins" I think not.

Everyone smokes here. Really.

Got a bunch new pins and also a Mexico bandana. I love my Mexicans!

Pickled pumpkin.... it was ... Interesting.
