The wrong bus

This week was very exciting because Heli and me were driving home with the wrong bus after shopping with our friends. And when we went out of the bus we were standing in a park and didn`t know where we are.
During this day it was raining and we were only dressed with a skirt and a t-shirt . After  asking  a few people  which all said, that it would be a very long way to walk to my hostfamilys house, we decided to phone my host mum.
But when we turned the Handy on, the akku was empty.By now it was very strong rainingand all our clothes were wet. But we didn`t have a phone and so we had to walk. Then we  saw a man  standing in front of his house .
when we asked him how long it would take to walk to the place where I am living he said ,that he would drive us home. He told us that he and his wife do often have international students.
One of his students , a chinese man , got lost one day, but he didn`t trust to ask somebody. At midnight a police man found him and drived him home.
That was with distance the most exciting thing in this week.
On Saturday I went with my host family to Hahndorf .
This is the oldest German village here in australia. It was so funny because in this village you can buy Cukooclocks and traditional german food.
But we didn`t  eat the German food - We buyed  in a fast food restaurant a Burger and a few Chips. After this we went to a chocolate factory where you can buy big chocolate letters or colosall bags full with chocolate
There we buy the chocolate hoard for the next two months ;)
Next Week I will go to a surf camp where I will learn surfing and a few other cool water sports.

My first School Week











 
My Hostfamily My new hostfamily is very nice. They have a daugther called Madeleine, a son called Samuel and a dog called Honey. She (the dog) eats allmost the leavings from the dinner. The dinner here called Tea but I dont know why. They are very friendly and courteous. In the garden they have a swimmingpool and in the caport they have a jetsky. Much less the four TV sets here. On of the TVs crooked in the Garden and when you swimm in the pool you can watch TV. This week was my first school week here in Australia. It was very interesting to see the differents to Germany. The first thing is the scool uniform .As whe have baught it the skirt goes over ouer knees but it was looking horible and then we cut it up. Yet the skirt is ending over the knees. Here in Australia you can choose your lessons. On my school you have four compulsory subjects: Science, English, Math and Sose. But you can choose three subjects, which you will do. My choosen subjects are PE- this is Sports were we play Gulf in this Time, Music and Art. In Music they were all very amazed that I play Harph and they will extra charter a Harph from a Music Shop .But by the Harph comes I must sing although I have say that I sing very horrible. I have found a few new friends here. On girl comes from France and is very nice. I met two german girls and one girl from China and one from Corea. On the weekend I was on a Boatshow with my Hostfamily . And on the other day I was shopping in the shopping Center were I buy me a new shorts.
