Our first week in Charles City

First of all I need to say I had so many new experiences in this awesome first week.
For example in school. Nearly nothing is like school in Germany: Students have their own laptops and are working with them most of the time, you have subjects like Global Foods and Wheel Potery which we would never have at home, the Americans have an other stil of their clothes which is good to experience it ourself and of course the cafeteria.
We have only 20 minutes for getting our food and eat it so it is absolutely different! And we made some interesting food experiences here so you all remember the uncooked broccoli? In Germany we have an hour for lunch and chill out so it is not that hectic then here.
What is great to see as well is the great team spirit of the people in school. When there are football matches nearly 80% of the students are going to support their team which is great! We do not have such a great team spirit in school in Germany (it is an absolutely new experience) and I think it is not because we do not like each other but because we have not such a big offer of sport activities in school. So here nearly everybody is a member of any kind of a school team and German people only have their PE in school and in their freetime they go to small sport clubs in their villages.
But now I hope we will have still 3 wonderful weeks here in America.
