Sounds fun...and you must live somewhere in the southern hemisphere (mentioning summer holidays)?

We had several exchange students, and most were from Germany. 3 from Berlin, 1 from Hamburg, 1 from Itzehoe (northwest coast) and one from Kempten.
My daughters both went and stayed with previous students - both in Berlin.
Enjoy!

Yep, I live in Australia. I come from England though, and we're stopping over there and going for a day out in London which i'm very happy about.

I'm not sure if I'll get to go to Berlin, depends on what my family has planned. But just being there should be great.

Thank you very much.

And thanks everyone also. I'm at the airport now, about the leave and tapping into the terrible free wifi.

lol! It looks very like england here. The same species of bush growing alongside the puddle-riddled, muddy leaf litter covered paths beside the nice fields with REAL LIVING GRASS (lol jk - Australia isn't that bad.)

Germany is a beautiful country. Spent 4 years there with my husband when he was in the Army. We were stationed in Herborn Seelbach. Close to Geissen. I miss the scenery, people and mostly the food.

This is not a very nice picture because I took it out of my window (second floor! boo yeah!) but that's what all the houses look like round here. Pretty cool.

And my host father has this completely epic model train set he's building in the basement.
