Although we spend nearly everyday in the year with eachother apart from in the holidays, holidays are spent relaxing and hanging out with friends. The one problem that occurs is that it is so hard to find time because everyone wants to catch up with everyone and they are always 'too busy'. Its even hard finding time with the Germans even though they are the most organised people on the planet.

Who would have thought we could get eight Aussies and Germans to all hang out at once in Germany and meet on time? It was most likely a once in a life time experience but it really did happen and wow, I'm glad it did. It really is a great feeling hanging out with your classmates on the other side of the world - the surroundings are different but we are still the same people. This once in a life time experience was spent walking around Freiburg while all the shops were closed. However, that doesn't matter because my favorite shop, or shall I say restaurant was open - a small Italian place. "I can't think of anywhere like that in Canberra," said Jasper Lindell. Das stimmt ("that is the truth"). A couple of hours were spent there talking about home and all the stuff we don't really miss, no one mentioned anything they actually do miss. We then went our separate ways knowing we wouldn't get this opportunity again.

One can never say goodbye enough, so another afternoon was spent with two Aussies in Freiburg eating cake, playing card games and setting off fireworks. I travelled back to Breisach at 10:30pm after seeing Jasper leave with a bang
