My host family though, is a big fan of the bratwurst, and they eat immense amounts of the stuff. One thing that I noticed at first was how much bread they eat here. Thankfully, the bread tastes really good here. Yes, there are still cliques and people aren't always nice to each other. One thing that I really notice, is that the people who are my age here seem quite a bit younger than me and my friends back in America.
School here is different than in America.
I don't know if I would say that it's harder or better, but just different. There are no multiple choice tests. Everything is essay form. In my freetime I go swimming with handicapped children, learn how to dance, and tutor English. On the weekends, my friends and I either go to a Disco or a Kneipe.
