finally here!

hey i've been here in Germany for over 12 hours now! Singapore was pretty cool to see on the way, but not overly exciting, except for seeing streets and things from the plane as we came in.

Both flights were looooong, but the second one (Singapore-Frankfurt) was the worst, I guess cos we were all over the whole screen on the back of the seat thing by then and just wanted to sleep lying down. We had to wait for an hour on the bus at Frankfurt while the driver fixed something with the engine. Haha we had to speak our first german in a shop: we stopped at a rest place on the Autobahn (with McDonalds, etc) and had to order in German "~ but it was okay, everyone helped each other out. Anyway, it was nowhere near as nerve-racking as coming out of the bus and meeting our families! It was just a crowd of a whole lot of random people to us, and i think it was hard for most people to search through them for faces from photos. But it was alright, Malin and her mum waved at me so I found them without too much trouble.
Came home here and Malin and her mum and dad all had the day off today, but Malin's sister Merle was still at school. It wasn't light until about 8 or 9 this morning, and by 5pm it was pretty much dark. They took me for a little walking tour around their small town, Opladen, and showed me the school and the Weihnachtsmarkt and where their relatives live.
Oh well I'm tired as and I'll go to bed now.
School tomorrow aah "~
