GAPP March 1, 2011 Tuesday (Dienstag)

Well, this is our 2nd day at the BFZ Freital School and the sun is still shining, I think the Americans brought good luck to Germany, anyway, I hope so.  We are learning so much about the students, teachers, and the culture.  Here is a picture of the students in our homeroom, where we meet every morning and have some food, thought you might enjoy the photo....notice all the smiles!

Our homeroom also has many computers for our group and a refrigerator for drinks, etc.  What do you think?  Do you remember eating different foods for the first time?  I have to also tell you that we had the best German potato salad today - one of the students mother made it for us, self-made as they say.

Just remember as you sleep, we are exercising our minds and bodies in Deutschland.  Some students ate German Chinese last night, others eat pasta, and others had nice sandwiches.

We are also trying very hard to deal with the German computer keyboards. By that I mean, it is hard to capitalize letters, find our letters and as I type, I still have not found the apostrophe and some others.  For example, their letter Z is a Y on the keyboard and vice-versa, and other items are not what they appear to be.

In Mr. Thommys English class, some students spoke very nice English to the Germans - they did gut!.
Well, ta-ta for now, more American teachers arrive Thursday, so please stay tuned as NMTCC explores Germany! Danke!
