quick update- november 28 2006

I really dont have any time to write anything.. I was in Germany for 2 weeks, Rostock and Koln and of course I loved it.. In Rostock I had the most amazing host family, a lady with three daughters, who were just perfect.. I miss them so much. But then in Koln, I stayed with my friend Cathy for 4 days and I saw many of my german Erasmus friends and Anna, who flew from England to see me. I had the best time with them, it was like I was in my old life again and I liked it.. I expected it to feel strange, being in real life, but it didnt. It felt great. But then on Monday I went back to my Up with People life and that felt kind of weird. I cant explain it, but the main point is that I realized that there is life after Up with People. Like everything else, this too has to end sometime. And its not sad, life goes on.. So I ll just enjoy the last two weeks of this unforgettable journey, live every moment and experience everything and then I ll go back to Cyprus with all the memories and I ll be happy to be back.. A new life will start. It will be hard at first, but I know I ll be happy to see everyone again..

Ok, enough emotion.. Im in Bern, Switzerland and its so beautiful, I cant even begin to describe it. The Alpes are so impressive and the city..Im in love with this city. I really think its one of the most beautiful cities I have visited on this trip. I was planning to go to Geneva on my free day, but after checking my bank account, maybe its better to stay here and walk around and relax. I know I will come back, cause I love it so much. My host family is quite nice, the mum is the best cook. She makes the best food I had in this trip.. there are 2 children, 11 and 14,and unfortunately they dont speak much english.. they are very sweet though. I have Hazel from Canada as my roommate, she is great, one of the people I look up to in the cast.

Ok that wasnt much, but I really need to sleep, I feel like I havent slept for ages.. I hope I find sometime to write more before the end of the trip. And I ll post new pictures soon- promise.

Love,

Nicolina
