My 1st time out alone

Wednesday, November 22nd 

So today was the day... I was out with some other exchangers for the first tme without my host-sister by my side. I know this maybe sounds not as such a big deal but for me it was. Because first my fmily was like: "No puedes salir sin Cielo es peligroso!" What means "You can't go out without Cielo it's dangerous" and I really understand why they were saying this, i mean I don't really speak Spanish and also I just look like a Gringa (someone from the US or an other country) and everyboday is always staring at me and all the cars honk after me.

But anyway in Germany my dad was more calm about that and so here I had a little bit the feeling that I am not as "free" I want to be. I mean I didn't even wanted to go out often but still just the knowlege that I always need to go with Cielo but with that I DON'T say that I don't like to go somewhere with Cielo.

So to every exchange student out there who maybe isn't allowed to go out:
  1. Just try to talk to your Host-Parents and explain them the situation,
  2. Maybe when they still don't really agree, show them that you can drive a taxi alone and that you know how to get there and how to come back to the house.
  3. And this still doesn't worked, wait a little bit and show your parents that you really trying to learn the language of your country and that your able to do something by yourself

So tomorrow is the 23rd of November what means that I am here for 3 month now. How CRAZY is that???? Just think about it. 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Germany it is so cold everyday and it's getting dark really early but here we have something around 20°C and the sun rises at 6am and goes down at 6pm, every.single.day.the.whole.year and so I didn't realized how much time passed by and that it's just 5 weeks till Christmas.

I still know the feeling a few days before the flight went, I was so excited but also so scared at the same time (I wrote a few post about that and in this time so if you want to). And know 3 months are over... To knwe that in just 7 more months I will be back in Germany, in my family, with my dog, my friends and just everything is really strange for me.
At the one hand I don't wanna go ,ever, beacuse it is just amazing here but on the other I miss it to have someone who really loves you around you. It is hard to discribe it, but here we "just" have Host-Families and they aren't our real parenst and siblings.
And also my house here still don't really feel like home. I think it's beacuse it is so different and also beacuse I don't really have so much memories who are conected with this house as with my house in Germany.
But it's getting better and untl know I don't really were homesick, just a few moments but thats normal.

So Today was an amazing afternoon. We, 3 other girls and I, met in a park of ambato and went to have some Ice Cream and after that we went to a house of culture in Ambato to ask for a theater program. And sooooo from next week I will be in a theater group with the other girls and maybe in 2018 also in an art group.
After 3 months I finally go something to do in the afternoon! xD. And of course it's in Spanish. I think this will be very interesting and sometimes I think that I will be frustrated about it but this is a really cool way to improve my spainsh skills.
So we will see how it works.

So that's it right know.

See u.

Because you will never know.

Today my Host sister and I went into the centre of Ambato to eat something and to visit my mom in a hair-salon. After we visited our mother we walked around and I asked Cielo if she wants to drink a juice with me and she said yes. So we were walking into the direction of the "mercados", these are 3 markets halls here in Ambato. The biggest one is on one of the main streets and we were really close to this one but then I turned to another direction and Cielo was just like "Hanna where are we going? You just passed the market?" and I responded with "Mall de Frutas" (How we exchangers call the "mercado de frutas"). Cielo didn't know what I was talking about and where we were going and so I walked us to the "Mall de Frutas". In  this place works the mother of Arabellas, a girl from Estonia, dancing teacher and I wanted to buy my jugo there bc it is really good, so we bought it and after that some Ecuadorian food for lunch. After w

2 Weeks in my Host Family & first week of school

Two weeks ago, I arrived in my Host Family. I can't belive that I am here for 2 Weeks now.. I mean HOW?! The time passed so fast.. At the one hand I feel like I am being here for months, but on the other hand it feels like 4 days or something like that. I really like my host family , but the most my host sister, cause she is really nice to me and helps me with everything, also I can speak englsih with her. Her englsih is better than the english of the most people here, cause she tooked extra classes after school to learn english. Here you have to do that, If you want to leran real english... I get more used to spanish in the last two weeks, but I am still not really good with it. Also my fisrt school week is over. The name of my school is "Unidad Educativa Ambato" . We didn't really had classes this week, it was more for organize stuff and somethig like that. My classmates are really cool and also I like my school a lot, but it's soooooo different to Ger

1. Monat / 1st Month

English version below OMG ... kaum zu glauben.. mittlerweile bin ich seit 39 Tagen in diesem fremden Land mit der fremden Sprache. (Und ich lebe noch xD.) In den letzten Wochen ist viel passiert. Wie ich euch ja schon erzählt habe, bin ich in meiner Schule gut angekommen, mir gefällt meine Klasse immernoch sehr und auch die Schule an sich ist echt Klasse. Bis jetzt hatten wir noch keinen Englisch-Lehrer was ich echt schade finde, da englisch echt das einzige Fach hier wäre, in dem ich gute Noten schreiben würde. Aber hey.. ich habe mich damit abgefunden. Manchmal passieren echt komische Sachen in der Schule, z.B. in jeder, also wirklich JEDER , Pause, sagt mindestens eine Person Hola! zu mir die ich noch nie in meinem Lben gesehen habe, geschweigeden mit ihr gesprochen. Aber das ist her echt normal, denn als einziges blondes Mädchen auf der Schule, bin ich nunmal eine kuriosität xD. Oder ein anderes Beispiel: Am Freitag sollten wir alle unsere Sportuniform anziehen, auch wenn
