Expectations

I cant believe I'll be in Berlin in 3 days! I'm so excited because I never been to Europe or any other part of the world other than Mexico. Everything is going to be so different, everyone is more independent, like they have to find their own mode of transportation since over here pretty much every teenager can drive anywhere. I'm afraid I'm going to forget everything I  learned for the past 3 yrs.

I expect to experience their traditions and cuisine. Like would I get used to their food or will I not like it?, and if do like it would I gain weight? Also I saw on the calendar that we're going to a soccer match(!) Germany vs. Ghana, should expect crazy overwhelming Germans or angry Germans, in case they lose? I mean they look like they're really into soccer and have tremendous faith for Germany in the World Cup. Also we are going to visit concentration camps , I wonder what I would feel? Sad,angry,disappointed,etc? My most desirable experience over there is to visit the Berlin Wall's remains because its just a big part of human history.


  I expect the Germans to stereotype us once we arrive they will probably think we're crazy and outrageous. I cant wait  for their reaction once they know I'm Mexican. Will they treat me different or will I still be the stereotypical "'Merican".  The stereotypical German for us is one that goes partying and drinking so I want to see if its true or not.  Also since they leave school earlier than us I wonder how bizarre it would feel like.

 I cant wait to meet my host family! Its going to weird since Marie is an only child and I have 2 sisters. Also I cant wait to go with Marie horseback riding!
