Friday, Munich
Update!
Okay, well, the German's coming along slowly, but hey! I can speak with you guys on MSN! yay. At school we have access to computers and the internet and during lunch I've been able to talk with you all, as some of you have noticed. And for some, you learnt I was in Germany *Kai* so it was an educational experience for all. The people, as I have told you, are amazing. Though at first they all thought I was from Sweden or somewhere. Then they heard me talk and thought I was from America (!!!!). And now I have the nickname '13' cos it was a joke that everyone thought I was about 13 or 14 years old. The excursions around Munich have been great fun and also a 'bonding' experience. I have started to take more photos to show you all, and I will learn how to compress them in email form, I promise!!
Today we went iceskating, which was fun, but too short cos we had to leave because there was an ice hockey match. And yesterday we had an 'eat as much cake as you can' party, which was fun. And I mentioned on my last blog (the punctuation and grammar rapidly deteriorated) that I was going to the Moderne Pinacothek. It was cool. Some were a bit 'interesting' but we had heaps of fun 'anaylising' them. And the day before we went to the Deutsches Museum. That was cool, unfourtunately, I wasn't in an reading, watching mood. But a few displays did interest me, the Musical Instruments (yeah, Amo!! Go Music Nerds!!!), the medical one was gross. The aeroplans and ships were big....how'd they get them in there?..... : ) But it was soo huge. 6 storeys and it would take like 3 weeks straight to look at everything. Imagine cleaning it....hmm, that was a random thought. But it was cool, in one of the instrument rooms there was a woman playing the piano. I got a fright when i walked in a realised it was a person and not a CD player!! Ellen, you could do that as a job; be part of an exhibition!!! And tonight, Friday, I'm going out with some friends. And tomorrow we're going to the castle, you know, the fairytale one. And on Sunday us Aussies are tagging along with the Brasilians and maybe the Mexicans to a Samba Club!! Hahaha! It'll be awesome. Everyone's so nice, friendly and fun here.
Buuuut, I better be off to have dinner. I walk to and from school everyday now without getting lost (yay!) And even the U Bahn is not too scary for me anymore....I think I have it sussed. But I thought I'd tell you all what I'd been up too these last few days. And Josie, Happidy Birthday to You!!!! I called and emailed, but still, for the record, I sent good vibes!!
All my love to youse all....I gotta work on my Aussie accent *Crikey!!!!*

P.S. Mum and Dad, did you know that the way my name is spelt/pronounced (properly) is a Spanish/Portuguese name, too? Cool, huh? And if I have spelt 'Portuguese' wrong, it's Daniel's fault. But hey, he's a Mexcian with an American accent, it's not his fault : P
P.P.S Josie, the other Aussies are from Canberra (Sigrid, whom I call Siggy), Melbourne (Olivia), between Melbourne and Sydney (Shaun, the baby), and Sydney (Sandra), and for the sake of simplicity, I tell everyone I'm from Brisbane. And the other High School Exchager is Beatrice from Brasil.
