Germany.

When I got to the house, the family was there to greet me, except for Julia, she had school until 5pm. There is also another exchange student staying in the house for the next 20 days, she's from America. Hopefully we don't speak too much English, but it will be good to have some to talk to when we don't understand things being said. I got my suitcase a little bit unpacked, I changed my top too. I didn't smell pleasant after sitting on a plane and in airports for 26 hours... I tried to call home, even though it was 3am, but I had trouble with the area codes. Eventually I got it correct and got through later that night.

We drove into the city of Marburg to pick up Julia from school, it was already dark and snowing a lot. I had my camera with me, but I didn't get the chance to take any photos. We went shopping for presents to go in the advent calendars, which I will post a photo of later. Every few days a person gets a present, just like the ones in Asústralia with chocolate except with small gifts. We drove home after an hour or so and the ice on the roads makes driving fun. Nearly everytime you turn a corner while driving the ice makes the car slide on the road and you think you're going to die...

We had IKEA meatballs and gravy with chips and salas for dinner, it was yummy. Then we spent the night watching the German version of 'Farmer wants a wife' and I gave my presents to the family that I am staying with.

Hannah!

I went to bed at about 10.30pm and actually slept at about 11.30pm, only because I drifted off while writing in my travel diary... I woke up at 2am with a pen in my hand and my face on the diary. I woke up when the family got up for school, but I spent the day at home to rest a bit.
