We are so excited! Early tomorrow morning our exchange
student from Southafrica will arrive in Frankfurt - we will pick her up at 7.oo am. She's a nice 17 year old girl fromBloemfountain and will stay with us until January 12, 2013.
We will try to show her as much as possible of the romantic pre-Christmas-time in Germany - Christmas market in Nürnberg and other medieval age towns nearby and I wonder whether she might like to learn some handcrafts. My twin daughters who will take her to school are excited too and we are looking forward to cook African and German meals together - especially
looking forward to bake German christmas cookies with
Rethabile. I hope she will like our breakfast tomorrow morning as a start into her 3-months-German adventure.
Is a cutie here from Bloemfountain her home town? I think you are having spring now? Love and Hugs Maria

Sounds like all of you girls are going to have a great time! How exciting for all of you. ;)
158718That is a great thing to do! Have fun with the girls and your holiday season!
173695How lovely for you to open your home! I hope you thoroughly enjoy the adventure.
3873Hi Maria, Yes it is suppose to be spring but it is rain non stop today.
I'm sure you are all going to be learning from each other. Well as Marthie said she will most probably speak Afrikaans, so you might be able to understand each other, if you speak slowly.
Enjoy - Hugs Yvonne

111384This is so nice.. most probably she will be Afrikaans speaking. Is so u can greet her as follows: Goeie dag or Goeie more. Which means Good day or Good morning. Have a great time specially with the Christmas markets

18960Oh wow, what a very lucky young lady :) I am quite sure that she will absolutely love pre-Christmas in Germany :) ... It is such a wonderful opportunity to learn about different cultures etc. I hope you all have a great time together.

16251We do have a Cutie from Bloemfontein. It is mariejooste (Marie). Yes, we are having spring at the moment here in SA but where I live in the Cape the weather is wet and cold. I hope you have a wonderful time with your exchange student. Please keep in touch. Sarah (Knysna, SA.)
255054Good Luck and hope you all have fun. The longest I have had foreign students was 6 mronths. The students stayed at different times and both of them were Japanese. Your German cookies sound interesting.
115771That is a wonderful experience for all. She will learn so much about Germany and you will learn so much from her. Enjoy your time together to the fullest. Hugs, Mary

alle müssen früüüüh aufstehen.....ja, wir wollen auch nach Heidelberg. Vielleicht können wir uns dann endlich verabreden????...aber Du hast ja auch keine Langeweile. Ich schicke Dir noch eine private Msg, ok?
Bis dann - Liebe Grüsse Maria
