Internationale Bodensee Hochschule Sommerkurs 2007

my summer school programme has officially ended three days ago on 29th august. it also means that i have been in germany for 1 month. Most of my friends are now either back home, or have gone to St gallen, zurich or leichtenstein for their exchange. it has been an amazing experience to meet people from all over the world. looking back, i am glad i took up this course. it is like, although not everyone mixes with everyone, we can still sit down together and chat in a party. the door is open and as long as one person recognises u, u are welcomed. the last week was party after party every single night. u don't need the booze. u just need the people.. it was very fun n it feels good to know that now, i have friends in Poland, Norway, Mexico, Indonesia, Bulgaria, Sweden, Denmark, etc... and the best thing is, everyone welcomes everyone to their home country! below are some pics of the whole group and the friends i am closer to..

taken at meersburg. we are a total of about 81 students. it was so difficult to take the pic due to limited space..
taken at voralsburg during our break. not everyone went cos some had visa problems.

And of course, i had classes during the programme. it is not all that slack ok?? my teacher, dorothee.

Classmates, Bruno (Brazil) and Chen Ye(China) it was the last day and most pple were gone. so our teacher came up with some skit thing... louis(Brazil) and ursula(Ukraine) in the foreground.
Pal (Norway) and Roberto (Brazil). my norwegian buddies: pal and jostein. Jostein stays super north in norway and apparently, the auroras to him is a normal sight. urgh...... he had a pic on his laptop of someone snowboarding in the air. i asked him if he took the picture. he said.. no. it was a picture of him. DANG. -_-'''

Aja, from Poland. there was another girl Isa too, but she left already.. Andrew, from england. it is very difficult to talk to him cos he is so tall!

Eduardo, from Mexico

he is a self-confessed spoilt brat. but i think coming to germany has done him some good. at least, he attempted using the washing machine and can speak a few german words. he came with No knowledge of german. and yes. he has NEVER washed his clothes before.. at the age of 21, he had problems figuring out how to operate the washing machine in the hostel cos he has never done it at home before. it was his first time taking public bus also. simply a small boy, altho he is older than me. he attempted to cook some instant soup that had such a lovely pic in front but didn't managed to do achieve the same standard. he insisted that the packet was a fake. it was funny.. yup yup... there are so many things to blog about but i only have time on weekends to blog cos i am so free!!! i still got a list of stuff to show all of u.. my bicycle, the disgusting slugs, the university, bla bla bla.. shall do it slowly, section by section.

yup yup!!! and so, this is IBH summer course. it was fun.. and if anyone is going to germany for exchange, do go for it too!!!
