Wow I realize I have not written in my blog for about 2 months now! The time sure does fly by. I am having an unbelievable time in Switzerland. Every day is an adventure and I am learning so much! My German is now very very good! I feel very confident with it and I love talking, writing and reading in German! I do find it difficult sometimes when people speak Swiss German with me as I do not speak Swiss German but that is all part of the exchange experience!
There is no way I could ever sum up the past 2 months as they have been unbelievable. So here are some of the highlights!
- Traveling in the mountains in Valais
- Being invited to have Raclette with the neighbors
-Eating unbelievable amounts of chocolate!
-I have visited 12 Cantons (Provinces) out of 26
-Going to Liechtenstein, and St. Gallen and Zurich!
-Visiting Madita and Dirk and the Venhaus Family
-Fall Break was awesome, two weeks without school and lots of traveling!
-Yodeling concert in October
-Going to a Fantastic Piano Concert with my friend Drew
-Having a Canadian Thanksgiving with my host family
-Spending time with Rotex People and Exchangies!
-Seeing a laser light show on the Bundeshaus in Bern.
-Going to the Basel Fall Fair
-Rotary Country Fair was crazy!
-Spending time with my host family
-Getting an actually good mark on a Math test in German!!!
-Playing a drunk person in my theatre group
-The Rotary Fall Weekend was insane! Zermatt weekend is next week!
-Using my free travel card in Switzerland every single day of course!!
I am having a great time and all is well. Life is good.
Bis bald,
Ryan
