Rock Climbing

I just got back from my rock climbing adventure. It was a school trip and about 30 people went. It was very fun and I learned all sorts of stuff like how to tie knots and stuff. It was only 2 days but we got to rock climb most of the time. It was pretty cool.

Mc Donalds in Switzerland

It's not only in Swiss. In Europe, McDonalds are turning FANCY! We went to one today, and the food tasted better, The prices don't change much and It looks very good on the inside. You can use the internet on computers there if you pay and if you bring you own laptop, the internet is free. You can listen to iPods there for free, and wait for it... you get t try out the new PS3 for FREE!!! I was suprised as well as happy. BIG change from America.

Third Week of School

Well, I'm enjoying school and we've come upon our first holiday of the year. 9/10/07 is 'Knabenschiessen' day or 'Boy shooting day'. No, it is not about shooting boys. It's about kid's from Zurich having a shooting competition. the winner gets money. It is not only for boys either. about 6 to 10 years ago, (you can never be sure.) they started letting girls in the fun as well. 2 years ago, the winner was a girl. You know, Switzerland has weird holidays. at the end of winter there is also a holiday where they make a snowman out of Paper mache and put explosives in it's head. Then they burn it. People get really excited when the head explodes and it is said that the speed that the snowman burns determines how good the winter is going to be. Sounds weird to me, but it sure beats going to school.

Second Week of School

Second week of school is over and I'm still alive. that's a good sign. They are still "testing" my abilities and everything is very easy. except German, of course. I got some good friends now and they seem very nice. Right now were going to visit Germany to meet some of our friends.
TTFN! ta-ta for now!
