Yesterday, I called my host family for the first time! Since they called me last weekend, my mom wanted me to call them this weekend. My German teacher gave me a good website to go on to get a phone card. It is uniontelecard.com. It's super easy...all you have to do is make an account, choose the card you want (I got 13 hours for $10), and enter your credit card information. Then they give you a 1-800 number to call. You'll have a pin number to enter and after you enter it, all you have to do is dial the international calling code (011), the country code for Germany (49), 4 digit area code (leave off the first 0), and finally the phone number. It's actually really easy and if you ever need an international calling card, check out uniontelecard.com.
Yesterday, I only talked to Karin, but it was still really fun. We talked about their vacations (2 0r 3 weeks in Italy before I get there) and skiing in Austria (!) during the winter. We also talked about school, their daily schedule, and how they celebrate holidays in Germany. It was really interesting and fun to talk to her. She also told me about their awesome coffee maker that you put coffee beans into and a cup of coffee with cream in it. Haha my mom says I'm going to come back a major kaffee drinker. Dannah says hi.
I'm hoping I get another packet of information soon from ASSE. I really want to find out flight information and more stuff about Washington D.C. and what we do when we get to Frankfurt. I'm 99% sure we all meet in D.C. on August 3 and leave for Germany on August 6, but who knows.
