Hello my friends! Saturday 18. December, after 23:43 local time
And once again are one and a half months have passed without that I have mentioned. So with the once a week is nothing. (;
However, recently is already pretty much happened: all starting from the fact that I changed my host family. There were always problems, and at the end of the barrel was just full and overflowed. Now I live in the old family an AFS student from Germany. Here father and mother live in the house, plus a little brother Cristian (9 years), my little sister (15 years, small, because after my birthday), my big sister (16 years), cousin and grandma now and then. So a really big family, but basically what I actually prefer! Well, the family is really nice and tried it myself here doing well, but unfortunately also quite strict. And there are also quite many views that I am not of the same opinion, which, for example: would be: (my sister has told me) if you are here as a boy wearing the pants "low", and perhaps even to have their ears pierced, you are quite possibly a drug dealer. And especially the people with tattoos and long hair are dangerous because those are usually the ones who are responsible for all the robberies. My opinion on it was: Hahahah, I have quite a few friends of AFS in Santo Domingo, Dominican, and an African. A friend has such a really big afro, which is pretty rare! Would be no doubt that there are too few locks, but because the Men here all have a unit section of about 5mm. And what is here already fairly observed, the rank order of father and mother. If, for example: The door bell rings and to do what everyone has, except the Father, of course, is not he open the door, go no, someone has to interrupt his work and open. And quite often excites me to the already, because it would just little things really asking too much!
But a real advantage here is that only my two sisters English can the small and not really perfect, and I have in the month in which I am now here, pretty much learned English!
And at school It is also always stop there, I still do not understand do a tremendous amount, but the moment I got eh holidays. (; That's because this is just a week of exams (the "exámenes finales") The runs here namely from anderst: It has usually, each month a test in each subject, and at the end of the semester a major test over the whole matter.. And since I do not take notes must, I have a week longer than any other holiday, that means that I have over a month Weihnachts-/Semesterferien (:.. On the one could get used
What was in! the last time that the family here at the weekend often goes somewhere. So I have seen, for example, La Vega, San Francisco and Monte Christi. But from everything I've seen my Montecristi liked best. There is a point where you can go to the cliffs and has an overview over the sea. I really liked the totally good!
Yes, and for two minutes is here already the 4th Advent. Actually, I'm really zero in the Christmas mood, I usually like the time before Christmas really like, but here is missing I can simply not there to set it. Although we have been about a week, "cold" weather, (20 ° C). But there are some differences of Christmas and Christmas here with us. For example, know the here is no Advent calendar that does not exist here. And no Advent wreath, and when I asked my older sister today if she had a gift for the parents for Christmas she said: It is not customary to give the people what to give for Christmas. Only the children get what, but if you're bigger you tinker a card or something and that's it. So it looks like this year is my first Christmas without snow, presents, decorated with palm trees and where you sweat. Well, one must have also seen. (;!
And I like it's still incredibly good here I just have a problem here that is pretty boring pretty often, because my sisters learn pretty much around the clock go out, I may (according to the father, who told me that last week) once a week to ten on weekends. I will certainly talk about it with my contact person once she is back from Germany again! And what sometimes was a pretty funny situation it was when my father here told me that he wants me to have long hair. I was this way: Did I understand correctly now? No, I think he asked me if my dad in Austria has a problem that I have short hair. will No, I said I want you you have long hair: I told him and he said on it since. Since it has on it from me (I hope not snotty) Answer given: Come out of the question, I like my short hair, and I do not care if you want me to have long hair. So this is the last thing I will require me, as I have to have the hair. Certainly not! I mean, I get upset so also does not have his hair cut! And even though I pretty much the only one here with short hair, am I will not let me grow, at least not in the near future!
So now I have informed you back at least a little bit, now it is 0:14 and I'll go to sleep. I will upload the report tomorrow, because my father has turned here at ten to the Internet because es ja „Zeit zum schlafen“ ist. Wir haben zwar Wochenende, aber auch egal. Ich bin halt nicht so wie meine Schwester um 9 im Bett, wenn wir Wochenende haben! Aber ist ja ihre Entscheidung. (;
Gute Nacht und ganz liebe Grüße
Hanna
