We felt an earthquake!!!!

Ann: Today in PE we felt an earthquake!! It was cool, because we never felt one before. It was just ca. 1 minute and not really hard, so nothing happened to us, but it was quite shocking. Later we found out that this earthquake was in Christchurch and it was so hard that we could feel it. There are quite e few earthquakes in Christchurch since there was that big one in februrary, but none was as hard as this one.

Larnach Castle, Rock climbing, Baking and more!!

 Sophia: I have been a bit lazy about writing on this blog in the last couple of weeks, so I just wanted to write a little summary of what I did in that time.
First of all, I went to Larnach Castle which is supposed to be the only castle in New Zealand. It’s not really an old castle like I know it for example from France, but it’s still quiet interesting. From the gardens, you have an amazing view over Dunedin and the sea. Sadly, I forgot to bring my camera.
On the same weekend I did some German baking as well. I made some bread, which was really good in comparison to the stuff you get here. Moreover, I did some “Zimtsterne” which were a full success and my homestay family loved them.
Last Thursday then, we went rock climbing on the beach. It was really cool. In Germany, you never do stuff like that. You just usually stay indoors, but in New Zealand you often leave the school to do sports or other excursions outside.
This weekend was luckily a long one, because of Queens’ Birthday. On Sunday I met with Lena and Krissi in town and on Monday I went to the beach again. Even if it gets colder now, the sun was still shining all the time. So I had a nice day on the beach with my homestay and afterwards we backed some Honey snaps to get warm again :)

Bowling with all internationals!!!

Krissy: As Ann has already told you, yesterday we went bowling with all internationals! Of course we took a lot of pictures, which we want you to watch.

It was so awesome and we had a lot of fun (I hope you can see this :))!!!

Bowling!!

Ann: Hey everyone! I just saw that we stopped writing for a while! Well, I have something new for you! Yesterday night we Internationals went bowling together. I think almost everyone was there. It was quite a lot of fun, although I lost in my group. We took a lot of fun photos, maybe we'll put some of them up here, and when we all finished our games we had some snacks. It was a really nice evening! I really enjoyed it.

40 HOUR FAMINE

bees: From the 27th 29th of May we had the 40 hour famine. We tryed not to use any thegnology or not to eat anything for 40 hours and then asked people to sponsor us. The money goes to people in East Timor. I raised about 60 dollars and I wasn't even hungry after 40 hours. It's not as hard as everyone  thinks it is and it's a great chance to help people in other countries. I'd so do it again, it's really worth it!

Lena: On Friday the 13. of May we had a awesome evening + night! It was our school formal ! :) Katharina S. and I went in the afternoon to the hairdresser for makeup and our hair :D It was a great experience. :) After that I went to Jule's house for changing.
