The conference with the kids from Germany was a long one but soooo fun! It was really interesting to talk to the students. They were all very cute and spoke really well English. It was interesting to see what things we had in common with them and what we didn’t since our culture and lifestyles are so different. It was weird hearing that they don’t drive a lot of cars and that it’s normally one per family considering almost everyone with a license in our class has their own car. Certain foods we like aren’t exactly the same as theirs. Our normal days were actually quiet different from theirs. Their school days have long periods and they get breaks to go home and come back. Their security is low because they basically have none which differed from us because we have high security. Little things like that showed how lifestyles in Germany are different from here in the US.
We got to talk about political opinions and world problems which was cool because we were able to see them from a side we normally would not. We got in depth about the upcoming election and our feelings towards it which helped to know each other better. Even though we didn't know much about their leader, we talked about her as well. I overall enjoyed this conference a lot and wish to maybe talk to them again soon!
