Germany
Hi Petra
Germany is better then i thought it would be...I´m loving the snow & my host family makes me feel at home even though im so far away!!
Wonderful experience .I´m glad to have taken this opportunity 😀
My first week in Germany...
Hey everyone!
My first week has been great! Met a lot of very nice people and my host family must be the friendliest there is!! School can sometimes be a bit long, but I just read a book or write letters, to my friends and family back in South Africa, during that time... I hope all of you are enjoying Germany as much as I am. I can´t wait to hear all the different stories when we all meet again at the airport...
See you all next year!
Germany 2012 week 1
Hey Petra Germany is great , loving my host family .. They are great people .. Well school is not really the nicer part because they use German 99% of the time and i can´t hear a single thing . Otherwise I´m ok 😀
Feedback on host family
Hello Petra
Everything is going great with my host family, the Tiedemann household.
They are such loving and caring people.
:D <3Snow_Sweet_Time :D
Hallo :D :D :D!!!!!
Honestly this has been thee most EXCITING:D, BUSY and a bit of a boring experience I have never had & I have been all smiles since I´ve arrived here :D.
I´ve met quite a number of really nice & polite people but with the language difference some people tend to really rude which is really something I choose to brush off ;)!!
On the other note my Host Family is the most amazing, generous and delightful people to live with. I haven´t felt like I´m being excluded from them as they are very interested about South Africa and our traditions :D!!!
This is truly an exquisite and entertaining experience :D. Thank you very much and a big thanks to the FSA organization :)..
P.S
I kindly would like to request a 2 months gym card when I arrive in South Africa just to lose some of the calories I gained from eating chocolate, sweets, cookies and everything delicious :P Lol.
Thanks

Germany, Neuss!!
Hallo!! I am having a great time with my guest family in Neuss!!! Even though there is a communication problem because most of the time they can´t understand what I say, but it always ends with a good laugh 😁
Thank you so much for this oppertunity, I am loving every minute of it!!! 😉
My host mother told me to write that I am a "nice girl"😀
Auf Wiedersehen!
Hi Petra!! First of all I just want to say thank you for this opportunity and thank you for helping us on the airport to make sure we got on the right train.😀 I am very happy with my host family and could not have asked for anyone better. Although it is very cold and everything is very different I am enjoying every moment of my stay in Germany. The school is a new expereince and even though I can´t understand 90 percent of it I am learning so much!!😁 -Anika
Germany is great!
My stay in Germany has been wonderful so far. My host family is really nice and I feel like part of the family. The snow is also awesome!!
Weltbürgerin
hallo petra,
ich bin im sommer 2010 mit euch nach sa geflogen.
und deine warnung war berechtigt, dieses land macht süchtig.
ich möchte dir und euch noch mal danken, meine (gast)familie ist perfekt gewesen. meine gastmutter meinte zu mir nach 2 wochen tell your mother in germany that you ve got a second mother now.
und so telefonieren wir seit 2 jahren regelmäßig mit einander und nun fliege ich morgen abend entlich wieder runter!
ich bin froh ,dass es organisationen wie euch gibt, denn in desto mehr ländern man hospitiert hat, desto mehr bekommt man das gefühl keine deutsche zu sein, sondern eine weltbürgerin und die welt wird ein ganzes stück kleiner wenn man merkt wie einfach es ist auf der anderen seite der welt anzurufen und hinzufliegen.
vielen dank nochmal!

Hello Petra :)
The day I have been patiently awaiting is almost here. I am filled with mixed emotions. I have no doubt that I will be well taken care of.
I have tried my best to pack lightly for the trip.
See you in Germany Petra :)

DEUTSCHLAND here I am!
Melissa is so excited about her trip to Germany! She already had her bag packed two weeks ago! 😀 This will be her first time overseas, and her second time on an aeroplane! She is so excited and very thankful for this opportunity. Both her and her host sister have been chatting non-stop! Just one more sleep!! See you in Germany, regards Melissa Louw (and Claudia and Cobus Louw in SA)

Jeanine is our second daughter to visit your beautiful country and people through FSA. Although we have told her much, we know that the whole experience is still going to be MUCH more than what we have prepared her for. Thank you to eveyone who has made this possible!

High School Austausch 2011
Ich habe im Sommer 2011 am High School Austausch teilgenommen und kann nur sagen, dass es bislang nur wenige Dinge in meinem Leben gab, die mir so gut gefallen haben. Ich kann hier nur an alle appellieren, die sich zur Zeit vielleicht noch unsicher sind. Macht es! Denn sonst habt ihr was verpasst und werden es sicherlich später bereuen. Die Unsicherheit schwindet dank der guten Vorbereitung und Betreuung schnell und dann macht das ganze einfach nur einen riesen Spaß :)
