Maria is traveling to Oklahoma today, where she begins an internship with a BSU with which our group has a partnership. We are SO excited for her. She threw a little party at her apartment last week-- here are a few scenes from it!
Different countries apparently have different customs about how one should pose for a photo. So we swapped around and did 2 intercultural "takes" -- guess which one of us is acting American and which is German, for each shot!? Here we sometimes ask before taking a picture, "German face or American face!?"
Her parents Andreas and Ute are pictured here. A common idea about the USA is that we (you guys, i mean! uh-hum!) only eat fast food, and are not healthy in your eating habits. Have you ever seen the movie "Super- size me!"? I saw it in Germany on video. Therefore, Conny and Petra gave Maria a healthy present: a container of sauerkraut juice (I had NO idea that such a thing exists!!!). The whole group made a toast to Maria, and drank a glass-- "to your health!"
