Koos:* (/skree in die agtergrond in /)"Ag Fok Frik, wat is diedonnerse Engelse woord vir tyres nou weer?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I don't know, my South African brain which is starved of South African humour just found this overwhelmingly funny...

Oh, and for the record, GERMANS DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR!!! It's just very different from the rest of the world... and rather sadistic actually... BUT I now get it! YAY!!!! Felt like a million euros after our Rotary evening, it's always good when the exchange student has the GERMAN Rotarians and their wifes in stitches....

Hello my pretties! Thuis is just a note to let you know that I'm gonna be away in Northern Germany for 6 days next week and then School starts on the 18th, so I'll probably only post again after that.

August was great, the Mattes/Mittls were really nice, and I got to see lots of really nice things in the time I was there. I'll write all about it when I get back. Sarah (RYE from Calif, USA) arrived on Tuesday, she's nice. My current planns for the next few weeks include a trip to France for an overnight and then also probably an overnight in München (Munich) for Oktoberfest before I go to my last host family at the beginning of Oct.
Keep ya posted!
