Now I am already back for more than two weeks and still EVERYTHING is sooo small. I am trying to get used of my old culture and their habits. But this is not that easy like I have imagined. Sometimes people in the US asked me about differences between the States and Switzerland/Europe. Back then sometimes I struggled with giving a good answer. But now I see a million differences. It already starts with how to say hello to someone. It’s weird but I always have to think if I just have to say hi or shake hand or hug. But the weirdest is the three time kissing thing. It is polite to kiss a girl three times on her cheek. The first time I was going the hug the girl when I noticed she only wanted to do the cheek kisses.

But also the food is really strange. Less meet, more vegetables, no ice in your water, much more pasta and less fries. Short: I miss the food. At least I could see some real cows at the trip to some cool Swiss mountains last week. I thought about taking them home and make some nice big steaks, but I don’t think the farmer would have appreciated my thought.

Finally I am actually glad to start school again. Because my jet lag hasn’t settled yet. And I am still struggled with sleeping through a whole night. Usually I wake up at around 3 AM and think about dinner. I think I need some rhythm in my sleep so I can get over the time difference. Also I am looking forward to see all of my old friends again. Of course the good ones I have seen already in t

hose to week I have been back. But there are many I haven’t seen yet. And yes I am also really excited to learn new stuff, to write tests, to do homework and pay attention in class. I think everybody loves this about school! Right?
