Youth Exchange. Greetings from Köln I arrived in Frankfurt at about 6 in the morning on the 22nd with no issues. Emily (another exchange student being hosted by a neighbouring club) and I were picked up by my host parents (Maria and Stefan Dege) who got up at 4 o'clock to be there. It was a very nice, warm welcome; even though it was -5! My host family are lovely people. I have a younger brother Moritz who is 13 and younger sister Greta who is 10. The eldest son Paul who is 16 is currently on exchange in Sydney. The Dege's house is on the Rhine in Rodenkirchen which is south of Cologne. They have a beautiful view from their kitchen window. During the first week there was nothing that I had to attend or do, so it has been a blur of meeting countless people, eating lots of food and visiting many places. I attended my first German Rotary Meeting last Tuesday with the Bornheim club. It was quite formal and different but everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The most impressive thing I have seen so far is the Dom (naturally). The size of it and the features are phenomenal. This week I have started a language course which will go for 4 weeks (including this week) and then I will begin school. So hopefully I can get a handle on the language in the next few weeks. Even though most people speak good English or at least know a little, it will be nice to know what is exactly going on for once! I am having a bit of trouble completing my Visa but hopefully will get it sorted out soon. It seems Germany is a very easy country to enter but hard to legally stay! I hope you are keeping cool.
