Hier kommt die Sonne: Endlich!

Ja, I am bad at blogs sometimes.

Sorry for all who have checked and there has been nothing said about my new year in Switzerland (cough Chelsie cough). This blog is for you and for anyone is keeping up with this thing. Make a comment if you do! I like them a lot. : )

So, I will talk about today.

Today I woke up early and went to Zurzach Bad. Why? My coolio friend Juan from my class invited me and Anilu to his house for Spanish food and to chill around. I like chilling. So, I woke up at 9:20 from being out late last night (I will go over that later), and ate some lovely kellogs and then went to catch the bus. Busses and trains are lame on Sundays. It makes me sad because you have to wait around a lot, because there are less options on Sundays. Do you care? Probably not.

I got there, and he showed us around his village with his other friend Pascal, and then we had an intense snow ball fight that ended up amazing and cold. We went to this really cool view lookout place, and saw this old man cross country skiing, who indeed almost crashed while attempting to say Gruezi to us and lost his balance. We talked a lot, Anilu nearly froze, our feet were not too dry from the snow. We played table soccer (whats it called again? I am forgetting..) , and then walked back to Juan's house to meet his nice fam. His mom automatically gave us hugs and kissed us on the cheek like she knew us forever! Anilu and her spoke tons of spanish and it was indeed a confusing day. With high German, Swiss German, and spanish all mixed together. We ate yummy Spanish food and talked, ate desert and talked, drank chai tea and talked some more and than played a swiss board game. I was a happy camper. One thing I do not like though is when someone speaks English to me after I tell them 5 times to speak High German. Anywho, afterwards, we chilled some more, watched some sorta of thing that was like an oldschool type of Planet Earth. It showed monkeys, elephants, insects or some sort getting drunk off this one type of fruit. Quite funny! Then I went on the train with Juans brother who is getting sent of in the Military because it is a law that every man has to go here in Switzerland, unless you have some sort of health problem. He showed me card games cuz he likes magic. Then I took a very complicated way to get back to Mellingen which is always fun and cold.

I really like Juans family. They already invited me to join them around June to this openair and go camping. I feel really blessed by the people I am meeting here. Swiss people are not cold ok!? Just shy, which is fine. I am shy too.

About last night. So, I got Christmas gift which was to see a Stress concert. Stress is a swiss guy, who speaks French, and raps in French (and is really popular here). It was amazzzzzzinnggg and cultural. I guess you would say attempting to sing french, jumping up and down, wave your hands back and forth .. cultural. I went with my host sister Vanessa (18) and Stephanie (15). They love Stress, so that is why I know about him. I had a really good time trying to attempt to rap in French and feel the beat.
