290th Day- 11/12/2011

On Saturday morning we woke up around 7.30am because we had to go to the airport to send Alicia off. We waited in Starbucks for 1 hour but no one showed up. Luckily, we walked around and found out that there was another Starbucks in the airport!! We saw Alicia and hugged her goodbye.Her whole family and us accompanied her to the gate. When she hugged the family members one by one, they cried and we cried too:( .Everyone was sad and we were so afraid because we are going to face the same situation one month later!!

When we were walking to the train station to take the train to the AFS camp, we met Alicia's best schoolmate! She was in the toilet and she hasn't meet Alicia yet!!!!!!!! Just 3 mins difference and she wont see Alicia anymore and no one knows if it is possible for Alicia to come back to Switzerland anymore!!So cruel..We were all sad in the train..I am not so close with Alicia but I still remembered that we talked a lot in the last AFS camp. Now, we were still heading to the camp but she was not with us :(

stopped by zurich..

We reached Einselden and walked around! We got to drink free wine and orange juice. Around 2pm, all the exchange students came! The same people from the last camp but less!! Now, everyone can speak German. I am lazy to write all the details of the camp.

free drinks

Overall, the camp was a lot better than the first camp. This time we had two new volunteers. They were talkative and nice but I think the best part of the camp was when we were separated into small groups and shared our stories in the exchange year in front of the candles. When you say something positive, you can light up a candle. When it was something sad, you have to blow off a candle. We talked for so long and it was nice to share and listen to others' stories. At last, we had 5 candles on and 5 candles off. That means in our exchange year we had happy moments and sad moments and they were equal and balanced. In this camp, I became closer with the Thai girls and we had the same enemy..hehe Oh yeah..our camp place had a super nice view :D

This camp made me realise that I am going home really soon. It also gave me a big chance to think over what I had done, changed and learnt in this whole year! I know very well 100% that I wont regret taking this step and spent my whole year in my second home!
