Language Camp, chocolate and new friends [PART I]

There's so much to write about regarding the awesomeness of language camp. And it's hard to explain how great it was with the fun (yes fun) classes we went to everyday. It started at 8.15-12.00 with breaks in between. Then Another class at 1.30-3.00 everyday. Then afterwards we had free time! And that was where the fun was really at. Instead of explaining every single thing, I'll just put up the photos with short messages regarding them. :D

On the way there, by myself, on the 6 hour train ride until I met Sophie and Ross

 Sophie! From Bludenz and from Australia, Coffs Harbour
 Ross from somewhere near DonBirn and from New Zealand

First afternoon of Free time

We loved the snow here
 I know this pictures is blurry but isn't it beautiful?
 Ana Julia and Daiana sitting on the snow. Both Argentinians
 Ana! She's so pretty, I envy her!
 Celina! Otherwise known as Celly! Also from Argentina
 Facundo (Facu) and you can tell where he's from by his clothes! Haha, we were all pretty shocked when he said his name was Facu because it sounded a little bit TOO close to another saying people say often.
 At Dinner

 Manuel (Manny) from Venezuela, Facu, Guri and Ross

 This is Manny arranging the cutlery into the shape of Venezuela
 Jamie. And it isnt hard to guess where he's from


 Outside the hotel!


We just wandered around the first night in Altmunster taking touristy photos :D




 Where we stopped to tell each other real ghost stories. It wasn't such a great idea for me since it was pure black and there were bells from the church ringing in the background!
 The small pool table next to the common room
First morning of Language camp, where Facundo hadn't tried Nutella before and decided to try it by putting it in his sandwich with ham and cheese...
 Inside Maddy and I's room. There was a small table for studying I presume?
 Outside! It looks like a beautiful church bu realistically it's EVIL. Jokes. But the bells are really annoying when they don't stop ringing especially at 7 am. The morning alarm that you cannot turn off!


 Manny trying to be cool
 Lake Traunsee

 A whole bunch of us were by the lake and we asked a Lady to take a photo for us and this is what she took.
 The Brazilians and a Oldie from Brazil.
 In the playground!

 That's Maddy my roomie!



 Simply beautiful...










 An extremely strange painting we passed by when we wanted to go to the Post office!
 Sophie, Bek, Larissa and I! The Aussie girls!
 Just by coincidence that Clare (not in the photo) and Jamie brought their red ukuleles!
 The wonderous pea soup we had!
 Playing uno with the Argentineans!
 The evil snack that Maddy brought and only lasted for 3 days!
Next day in class we played bingo to learn the numbers
 My class intense in bingo
 Apart from one person... haha
 After class playing Uno. From left to right; Larissa (Aus), Leonardo (Braz), Isaias (Braz) then Sophie and Maddy
 On the far right is Ana Paula from Brazil
 The baby of the 30 of us, Thales who is 15.
 Two New Zealanders; Sarah and Antony


 The beginning of our study nights. We always seemed to have parties in our room and this is how they started. Notice the lamp. We actually took off the lamp lid and I made that paper thing :D
 Our Saviour! Note to group in Japan... remember these?!!?!?!? The ship chocolate biscuits!


 Our study 'party'! :D On the far right is Ashleigh and Clare

 I'm still an asian on the inside :D
 A lady offered Celly to try her bike and so she did!


the.... SPAR (the supermarket) COW!



 All of us walking up to see a nearby castle which looks like Beauty and Beast's castle! Larry, Maddy and I were initially only meant to be shopping to get food and workbooks and ended up going on this mini adventure which was totally worth it!











 All of us share the same moon, just from different places...

 Camera's on timer!






 Manny is really mature for a 20-year-old







 COOKIES!!!

I'll post these up for now! And add more later!

Tschuss!

With love, from Austria
