More photos of a great 10 days with our german -american exchange... with Connexxion and students from Union U. Rachel is with Isaline, who is from France. Name tags helped with all the mix of languages and new names and strange spellings!

The term "foosball" is actually an English version of the German word meaning the game soccer. But this wooden version played here they call "kicker." Ralf, Hannes and Oli are playing with Tommy cheering them on.

The country-western party brought out over 30 students to meet new friends, learn line dancing and just practice English!

It's great having Lydia here from the Connexxion group in Jena (on the left, with Damaris on right and Kristin peeking through). She moved to Braunschweig in the fall to do an internship and write her thesis, and has brought the sunshine from "home" with her and understanding of our overall concept. On Wednesday we had pasta parties in 3 locations, followed by an evening in the basement of a local campus pub, to read a popular story from the Bible about a son who ran away from home, and discuss it together.
