For my birthday, for example, my host dad and I went to the last match of Swiss pro league soccer in Basel (vs Luzern). Basel won easily and it was a really fun game to watch. The most exciting part had to be the end as a third of stadium rushed the field and the police attempted to take control. Afterwards, we all went to an intersection where the team came with the Cup and celebrated and that was really fun to watch (The next day I slept in a while).
Recently, I went up to northern Germany to visit the family of Tammo, who stayed with my family the first half of the year. The train left at 8.00am on the Friday and arrived in Nienburg at about 15.15 where Andrea and Joe Märtens picked me up and we drove to their house in Sulingen. I was told we would go see the student that lived by them a half year. When I met him, I realized he was one of the students that came down to Luzern for eurotour with a friend of mine! We had dinner by them and said goodbye as he would leave that Sunday.
On the Saturday, we went to Hamburg! Of the cities I've been to in Europe, Hamburg would be my favorite. It was clean, beautiful and the people that lived in the city were GERMAN and not foreigners like every other famous city I go to. We did a bustour that was very funny and interesting (all in German, if you must ask) then took a boat tour after a tour in the Rathaus.
Sunday was spent in the VW center in Wolfsburg and it was AWESOME. Cool cars, fancy cars, expensive cars. Not much to say except I had a great time. I have picturesss!
We went to Bremerhaven on Monday which was where many people emigrated to America and Argentina. There was a very interesting museum there which let you "experience" the trip as well.
I enjoyed the trip and had a great time up in Germany and it was fun to hear high-high German.
