First Day of Language School

Swiss money is BEAUTIFUL! It is so colorful and makes American money (already ugly) look like dirt.
I started my language school today and it was kinda boring. We mostly went over the stuff that I learned from my host family and Rosetta Stone. I loved that about every 10 minuets we had a brake. There are 14 of us at the language school. We are from Hungary, China, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Columbia, and America.

I met my liaison on Saturday. He came over for dinner (yes it is a he I too thought it would be a she). His nam is Simon and he is REALLY tall. Then again I am short so of corse he is all. He is about the same height as Raffie my host brother who I think I am only to his shoulders. As you can tell I am the shortest person in the house. Simon is really nice and he too was with AFS and went to Kansas (poor boy who goes to Kansas???). He is friends with Raffie and plays badminton with him (Raffie).

The bread here is to DIE for and I would not want anything else. Also of corse the chocolate is good it is Swiss chocolate. My family has bread that they only eat on the weekends and it is so rich that I could barley eat half slice when they were eating one or two whole slices.

I watched my first movie in German on Saturday too. It was the movie Gamer with Gerard Butler. I saw it with my liaison and brother. I did not understand most of it but I got in a few words here and there. It was good from what I could tell but I do not know since I did not understand most of it.

On Sunday I saw the waterfall. It is on the border of Germany and Switzerland. It was my first ever waterfall and I thought it was pretty awesome. We walked around a small village that was near the waterfall and that the tour boat took us to. Of corse all the talking was English since well it is Switzerland and that is the main language. And for those of you who did not get my sarcasm then you should go see a doctor. Also Switzerland does NOT speak Swedish that is in Sweden.


Now some Pictures of the beautiful Swiss Franc.

Guten Tag Schweiz!!!

I am now in Switzerland. My flight took off in JFK International on August 19 at 5:30 pm and landed at 7:35 am Agust 20 in Zurich Switzerland. Or it was supposed to it landed about 40 mineuts early. My suitcase fully packed and backpac/carry on ready to go I left for New York on Thursday Agust 18. The day before I had kind of a going away party. It was where me and my family (mom, dad, and Tim) all went out for breakfast at Mastoris. Ofcorse I had my other amigos with me (Kierra and Vanessa). It was delicous as it always is at Mastoris.

Enough about American stuff. Okay so today is my second day in Switzerland. I am loving it here. They live in the hills which are beautifull. Surronded by farmland at home and city for school. It is all awsome. My family is very nice. The food here is WONDERFULL for lunch yesterday I had this yogurt, fruit, and cereal thing that was delicous. The bread here is so good yummy! The USA kids going to Switzerland are all very cool people. My family here in Switzerland are all taller than me (shocker) Daniel (father) and Raphael (brother) are much taller than me to hug them I was on my toes. Language school starts on Monday(Montag) I am very excited for that and the Gymansium (high school) when normally in the states I am never excited for school. Wish me luck!
