In February I arrived in Tauranga, it was a hot day and after the long and tiring flight from Germany I just wanted to sleep! My English was improving faster than I expected and after two or three weeks I spoke more confident and better. Then the first Term of school started and I had to go to school. Before that life was not much different than in Germany, except for the good weather, but the school was something completely new for me. It was hard to get used to the uniform and there were no girls at Tauranga Boys’ College, but I enjoyed other things for example my subject Outdoor Education, and the school camps with the International class or sport teams! Now I have been here for almost 6 months and I am half way through my year and have experienced many new things such as diving and surfing.
