Ninjas in Germany

Well then. Back from yet another adventure within the boundaries of Switzerland. T'was a SKI CAMP! Get ready for... DAY BY DAY RECORDS!

Saturday:
Get up uncomfortably early for a Saturday. Then I got a ride to the meeting place for us all. I stood quite awkwardly by my bags looking for someone who either wasn't talking to people or just simply a face I knew. Wasn't there long before someone came to talk to. All 80-90 of us piled in the bus and commenced driving for 2.5 hours. We arrived in the French part of Switzerland between Fribourg and Lausanne. It's when we began unpacking the trailer that I learned I was to be a leader.
After little info talks and so forth, we all went outside and played a massive game of Ninja which dispersed into smaller games. Very cool to watch.
Each night was themed a specific country and that night was "Germany Night." We had bratwurst for dinner and then had German activities throughout the night.

Sunday:
IT SNOWED
8am wake up. Bread jam for breakfast. thennnn
S N O W B O A R D I N G!!!!! In fresh snow :O
I finally learned to use the Tbar lift successfully :D
until about 5pm. Then a nice freezing-ass shower because I was far from the first to attempt at getting warm water.
That night was ENGLAND NIGHT. We had risotto for dinner and funny English accents in german. HILARIOUSSSS

Monday:
Same on the wake up. Same bread.
SAME SNOWBOARD but with easier snow but it was even more foggy than Sunday. Maybe 5 yards then white.
Same cold water.
South Africa was that night's theme! I couldn't tell you what we had to eat because I, well, can't remember. At night, we had the kids running through a little obstacle course in the snow. I stood on the roof and had to be hit with a snowball for them to pass.
THEN SLEEP!

Tuesday:
Meh.... ugh...
SNOWBOARDINGGGG in the sun with awesome swiss people!
Cold water.

I think this was Balkan night, if I'm not mistaken. Hella funny night of weird music, dancing, and accents.
T'was yet another late night.

Wednesday:
9am Wake up!
When we got the the ski spot, it was foggy again so a lot of us went up above and laid in the sun for the day.
NO snowboarding that day.

That night was China night but I ended up sleeping some more.

Thursday:
Woke up sick.
SLEEPYTIME

It was Brazil night but I missed it sleeping and only ending up eating bread and apples because bread and apples are freaking delicious.

Friday:
Still not totally well but I slept until about 5pm and felt much better. I then ate EVERYTHING.

RICOLAAAA!

THEN!!!! MEXICO NIGHT!
I can't begin to tell you how excited I was for Mexican food! But it wasn't. It was burritos: no beans, no Mexican tortillas, only swiss cheese, and no TACO SAUCE!!!
I died.
We were then told to go upstairs and try to get stuff to look like a Mexican.
Things they wore:
-Mustaches
-Pillows under their shirts
-Blankets around themselves
-Big belt buckles
-a balaclava
-soccer stuff
-drugs
-weapons

I laughed the whole night, I think (maybe the meds?).

Unfortunately that night consisted of a friend in horrible stomach pains which caused her to be driven home at about 3.30am.

Saturday:
Drive home. Non-eventful

Sunday:

We went to a football match in Basel versus Zürich!
Basel won 3-1 but it was a really great game to watch. My current host dad, Heini, was very pleased with the score.
