I went to koln to meet up with two other exchange students living around Bonn it was really nice we walked around the city but got out of the touristy part of town and ended up where some small turkish shops are. We looked around at the gadgets for sell and alked around there. A street was full of wedding dress shops and prom dresses I so would have wished to have found that http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/Cologne/blog-347797.html it's been a hile since I haven't written yet not alot since to have happened I'm not to sure where I left you off but this week is coming to an end tomorrow is friday.

I change families on tuesday and all is well. i like them alot better and they are very different more like family i like it here yesterday was halloween. No one celebrates here like trick or trick but have st martines instead. I went to a friends house Nathalie with Bianca and a few other friends we got dressed up and watched movies then went for a walk to schloss burg there http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-340510.html I just wanted to give you all a little bit of my news. I'm packing my bags and hopefully getting ready to change families sometime at the begining of this week which makes me pretty excited and pretty nervous. I'm scared that this time around I won't be able to make things work out but I will try my best. I will be myself and be more opinionated. 3 months into my trip I get the chance to start o http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-338507.html Not all can runs smouthly all the time not all is always perfect. For the pass few weeks the tention in the house had increased from both my side and my hosts. Most of you know that I've never felt realy comfortable with my hosts since I've been here. I told myself to give it time and that's what I did in the end it caught up to me and it was not the best idea. I held it in until I could take no http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-335028.html I'm back after the longest week I've had here up until now. Last friday at 1000pm I left in a bus with a bunch of kids from the Ski Club and headed out to Kaprun Austria. It took about 8 hours or so we got there at 9 there next morning. The hotel was aweful for those who might have an idea of the conditions of most hotels in Hampton Beach N.H well it was bad. But I guess it was a youth hostile we http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Salzburg-State/Zell-am-See/blog-333250.html Salut mes Quebecois favorie. Bon sa va s'arretter la mon orthographe est mauvaise. This will probably be my last entery until I get back from my trip in Austria Skiing in the alps. Today I spent the day in Kln it was really nice I had so much fun. This morning I left at around 800 to catch the bus alone and I had arranged to meet with the guy I met on the bus my first trip there. I arrived at 9 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/Cologne/blog-330191.html Today the weather was bad during the day. The rain as been pooring violently to the ground and the wind is blowing hard. It's pretty cold and very much like Fall. The air last night was so cold that it actually smelled like winter is near by. Today my plan had been to go to Phantasialand with Beatrice and 2 other friends but yesterday at the last mintue Beatrice called me and told me some sad new http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-329791.html Since friday I've been in holidays from school. That means monday morning I will not have to get and at 630 am but actually get to sleep in sounds good to me. I like the idea alot. The days are getting shorter and it is harder and harder in the morning to get up befor the sun is up. Although every school day feels like a holiday since I haven't been able to fallow much in class and often times cl http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-328490.html Today was my lucky day. Actually my week as been going from bad to worst and it's only tuesday. Yesterday was my host father's birthday. I didn't know what to get him and my chances for going out shopping are limited although I went saturday I did not find anything I could get him so I decided I would get him a little something at the Cafe Wild in town it's a fancy place where they make chocolate http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-326812.html This weekend I went shopping a little bit in Soligen with a friend but not for long since it was only during the time her mother had some work to do at her job there and when she was finish we went back with her. So nothing special I bought a pair of pants and tried on loads of shoes never exactly sure what my european size is because from store to store the lady would tell me a different size and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/North-Rhine-Westphalia/blog-326032.html Hey guys.
