Update 🇺🇸

Hi guys, I did not post an update in a long time.. but now I have time 🎊 I have summer break right now and only 248 more days of school til graduation 😍 (For everyone that wonders… I skipped 11th grad and we have 12,5 years of high school)

A lot happened in the last couple months. It has already been over a year since the day I left 😱 My American host brother flew to Germany to study abroad for one semester in January. He came to visit a couple weekends and we went snowboarding together and showed him our region. 

In April, I flew back to my second family 💕 It felt like I never left. It was awesome to see everybody again, we had so much fun. I can’t even describe it. You leave your home to return home. 

‚The best memories are the ones that you try to explain… but at the end you just say you had to be there‘ 

I was so excited when I knew I could come back but on the other side I thought.. it makes leaving for the second time even harder.. but then my host family surprised me.. they told me they will be at my birthday party.. My 18th birthday was on may 5th… 12 days after I left America.. I was so excited when I realized THEY ARE COMING TO GERMANY… I didn’t have to worry about saying goodbye anymore because 12 days later I took the car and picked them up at the train station! 

They loved being here since the first minute. We traveled all over Germany and we even saw the game where Germany played against the US 😎 

They loved the food, driving around, the cities we visited and just everything! Germany beer was the highlight! They got to try every kind lol! 14 days flew by and it was another time to say goodbye. 

It gets easier every time.. it was a see you later and not a goodbye because I will be back in the USA in 18 days! Not by myself this time, my cousin is coming with and we will also see the Grand Canyon! My favorite place to visit in the states! 

Another goodbye was when my American brother had to fly back at the beginning of June.. I think it is crazy how our relationship developed.. from strangers to family. We are one big German American Family now. Visits back and force, Skype dates, vacation together,… who expected that at the beginning when I told somebody I wanna go to the USA for a year.. nobody… and now everybody loves it. 

That’s it for today! I will post another one after my trip in August 😅

2 more days 🎉

Hello,

on Friday at 9am I am on my way to Ameriiiiiiicccccaaa! Finally coming back home 🏡 😍

I’m coming back 🇺🇸🔙

I thought the last post would be the last one for a long time but I have news for you so I had to make a new one 😜 I’m going back to Wisconsin in April for 16days ❤️😍😍 you don’t even know how excited I’m about this! That’s it for today! I will start blogging again when it gets closer! 268 days and I will be back ❤️

Last Post 🙈

Hello everybody, 

Just a quick last post about the last couple days. We all landed safe in Germany on Sunday morning and even my 4 suitcases came back safe. Some of my friends and family came over and they were all glad to see me again ☺️ All my clothes and everything is still all over my floor in my room and I don’t wanna clean it up. I feel like if I leave it I can just throw it back in the suitcase and take the next plane back to America even thought it will never happen. Not never but in the next couple months 😜 it’s crazy that my 320 days in the US are already over and I’m back to reality 😂😂 I already went to volleyball practice and to school to get all the stuff I have to make up and yeah now it’s just the time of re-integration to my old life. 🇩🇪

It’s officially over..

Hi Folks, 

Today is the day I never wanted to come.. The day I’m back in Germany knowing that all my friends and my family is sitting 4.331 miles away and I won’t see them anymore. Saying goodbye to them was defiantly the worse moment in my life! I left them 16 days ago and I already miss them like crazy! I didn’t cry on the day I had to say goodbye to all my friends because it didn’t feel real at all. It felt like giving them a normal hug and I wanted to say „See ya“ but as soon as I was sitting in the car knowing that I won’t see them again I started crying. Everybody snapped me saying how much they already miss me and I had so many tears in my eyes that I couldn’t even read what they were saying. It was my last night in my new home, it was my last time saying good night to my family, it was my last time sleeping in my room, it was my last time waking up in the morning seeing their smile. It was my last time for everything. When my German mom said “Let’s go Anna, we have to go” I said “Wait, where do we have to go? My home is here.” but this time I didn’t get a choice we had to go… The whole way to the airport I was crying and snapping my sister and everybody. The whole time we were on vacation in Boston, New York, Quebec and all those beautiful places everybody wishes to visit, I just wanted to go back. When my dad asked “Where do you wanna go next“ I said “Home” but it was impossible to come back to Wisconsin and it would have been harder to leave again. I didn’t even want to put my hair back down (believe me I had to shower sometime) because my mom braided it for me and I knew she will never do it again in a long time! I still feel empty and my heart still hurts and it just feels wrong! When I was sitting on the plane reading my goodbye book I had to start over and over every time because I couldn’t do it. Sitting here in Germany and people are talking German instead of English, people are calling me Anna instead of Kern and nobody laughs anymore when I say Snickerdoodle or veggies, when I wear my shower bun. Everybody just tells me “It’s okay.. You will come back sometime.. You can always visit.. We will still be in touch..” and so on and so on… But it won’t be the same. I won’t get to play volleyball or softball again, I won’t get to be part of the high school anymore, I won’t get to see everybody every day in school, nobody will ask for my help in Calculus anymore.. I will be a guest every time I come back and not a student or athlete or exchange student or anything. Nobody in Germany will understand when I show them a picture from my exchange year, when I tell them how much I miss America, when I start another sentence with “When I was in America…”. Nobody makes fun of my accent anymore, nobody makes fun of me anymore when I still don’t know how to get from my house to Barron after a year. I can’t go on four wheeler rides anymore or go tubing with my friends and family.. Sometimes I wish I would have never done this year just because I would never had to deal with those feelings now. But it was the best year of my life and I would always do it again and again. If somebody would ask me „Do you wanna go to Wisconsin?” I would jump up, pack my bag and I would be ready in an hour to leave! The whole time during the road trip it seemed like I’m on vacation and I will be returning to my home afterwards but when I landed in Germany, I knew there was no back. 😭 I learned that it doesn’t matter if you spend your exchange year on the beach in California or in San Francisco, all that matters is with who you spend it and not where. An exchange year is like a roller coaster ride! Both have up’s and down’s, they can be scary and beautiful at the same time and they both go by too fast and in the end, you are sad that it´s over, proud that you survived and you just wanna do it again. As soon as I was sitting in the plane and the doors closed I knew another chapter of my life was over. Somebody just closed the book. Nobody asked me if I was done with the chapter, I had to. I never realized that is it over until I had to write my Germany address on papers again instead the American one, until I calculated tax on stuff where is it already included, until I planned my goodbye-party and my German friends already planned a welcome-back-party for me, until I missed America even though I was still there, until I wanted to order something online and I realized it won’t come in time anymore. Those are the moments you just want stop the time, turn around and go again! Thank you to everybody who made my year amazing and memorable! Miss and love you all ❤️

Party, German Family, Goodbye, Road Trip

Monday: We got ready for my party all day. I had a friend (Hannah) over and she helped cleaning the house. We also went on a quick bike ride in between. The weather was good. It only rained for a couple seconds My friends started coming at 6pm. My dad made chicken for my party. There were 50 people here..It was so much fun!

Thursday: We had breakfast sandwiches. And then the time was there. The moment I never wanted to come.. I had to say goodbye.

After saying goodbye to everybody which was the hardest thing to do in my life we left for the airport at 7am. We flew to New York and we are staying in a hotel there. We went to Manhattan to the Empire State Building. I have been crying all day because I still can’t believe that my exchange year is over and that I will never see these lovely people again. It was defiantly the best year of my life. 

Friday: We slept in and then went to New York City and explored the city all day! We got back at 2:15am. 😭

Prom 2k16 ❤️

Hi Folks, 

Today I’m going to tell you something about the highlight of the a high school year, Prom! Our prom was yesterday. We started decorating  our gym (that’s where our prom was) on Friday. I stayed the night from Friday to Saturday at a friends house so we can get ready together on Saturday! In the morning we got our nails and  hair done. We did our own make up! At 3 we put our dresses on and we basically took pictures until 5! In my group were 9 people (4 coupes and one boy). At 5 we drove to the restaurant and after that we chilled at one of my friends house until prom started at 8! We had a DJ and at midnight everybody changed and put some comfortable clothes on and then.. Post Prom started… It was so much fun! I won gift cards, we played fun games and there was a hypnotist. It was so funny to see people being hypnotized and they just do whatever you tell them! That was probably the funniest thing I have ever watched! Post prom was done at 3 and then me and Kylie went home! That was it! My one and only prom in my life was over at 4! I would do anything to just be able to go again! I recommend to everybody to use the chance to go if you get the opportunity 💃🏼

Here are a couple pictures, but I will post some better ones from the camera when I get them!

Monday: We were suppose to have a game  but it got canceled! So we had practice after school and went to pig weigh ins then. That is a place where you bring your pigs and they weight them (pigs have to be under 70 pounds). We have 4 pigs but two were too heavy. It never happened before, so Ethan and Kylie only have on pig to show at the Fair! Hopefully nothing happens to that one 😁☺️ By the way, in World War 2 we have to build a model right now and it is so hard… So many little pieces and we have to paint them and stuff.. 

Tuesday: We had a softball game today! In the middle it started snowing again. We lost but my dad said I did really good! I didn’t miss one catch and I actually hit every time. It is getting better😍 and it is so much fun! 

Wednesday: We had practice outside today because it was actually warm (for Wisconsin!) and sunny! After that, me and Kylie went and got our nails done ☺️

03/07-03/13

Monday: Today the new trimester began! My schedule is: 

• 1st hour: Food Science 
• 2nd hour: Calculus 
• 3rd hour: World War 2
• 4th hour: Study hour (because I have a college class, so I don’t have to do anything this hour and I can skype with people and do what I want) 
• 5th hour: English 
• 6th hour: Resource or my college class on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s 

After a day full of new classes, I worked out, went home, ate supper, showered, played a game with Ethan and yeah.. By the way, one guy form my school had to go to jail today because he got caught with drugs 😳😳

Tuesday: My new classes are pretty cool except of WW2. It is so boring and I just don’t like history classes. It is really nice to have a study hour where you can do just whatever you want. After school I went to the photographer to take a pictures for school! Every year all the exchange students do that just so they can remember all of us ☺️ At night, I went to a meeting with Ethan for the fair in the summer! Kylie and Ethan raise pigs every year and show them at the fair then! That’s it for today! ☺️

Wednesday: I had school and worked out. Kylie and me ate at her other moms house and we went to her grandpas yard with the four wheeler to collect sap. That’s what  you use to make maple sirup. 

Thursday: We had our last open gym for softball because practice starts Monday. After school I rode bus home because Kylie and her boyfriend went to a WILD Hockey game and my mom had surgery on her throat. She can’t talk for a month, so she uses the iPad to text. It is kinda funny but really hard. I went outside with Ethan and played catch (baseball), went on the trampoline and in the hot tub. 

Friday: After School, we worked out, got groceries, I helped Ethan with his project for school and Kylie went babysitting. Then a friend came over und we went in the hot tub! I stayed up until 3:30! 

Saturday: Today was a relaxed family day! We washed cars, played softball outside, went on a bike ride and we went shopping. ☺️ Since my mom can’t talk it’s kinda funny. Everytime she wants to say something, she writes it on a whiteboard 😂😂

Sunday: We were outside all day.. Played catch, were on the trampoline, I had volleyball and yeah.. We have 10 Degress Celcius, so pretty warm for Wisconsin! 

02/29-03/06

Monday: Leap Day! 😊 We didn’t have school today, we went curling. It was fun! I wish we would have that in Germany! After that me and Kylie worked out and then I went to the school concert where Kylie plays in the band 🎻🎼     
 

Tuesday: I had to take The ACT Test today. You need to take that test to figure out at level your writing, reading, science, math and English skills are. The results tell you on what college you can go. We got tested from 8:30 until 1:30. It was kinda boring because it was an really important test for all the other junior but since I don’t plan on going to college here, it doesn’t matter for me what score I get.  After that I had another test in my college class. Then I worked out and we cleaned up the house a little bit that my parents don’t get a shock when they come home tomorrow night 😂😂

Wednesday: We had our second part of the test and then we got to leave school at 11:30. I hang out with friends, worked out, had volleyball practice and that’s about it. 🏋🏼🏐🏊🏽

Thursday: I went to open gym for softball before school, worked out after school and hang out with friends 😊

Friday: Today was the last day of the Trimester! So we didn’t real do anything. I had my final exam in physics but that’s it. I went out to eat for lunch with my AP chemistry class (we are only 8 people). After school, I worked out and then I went to the basketball game with a bunch of friends! Our Barron boys played regionals! It was such a close game and in the last 10sec they shoot a layup and the final score was 62-60 for BARRON 🎉🎉 On Monday starts the new trimester with my new classes then ☺️   

Saturday: Today the girl from Argentina who was at our school for 2 months had to fly back! It was so sad and I don’t even wanna think about the day when I have to go back! There are only 96 days left! The time flies by soooo fast. Today I didn’t do much. I watched Kylie playing volleyball and that’s it! 😊🏐

Sunday: I had volleyball all day! Since my brother had a hockey state championship game my parents went with him and I went with my oncle, grandma and grandpa! It was fun! After volleyball we went out to eat and did some shopping 😊 Ethan won his game, so they are state champions. 🎉🏒  

02/22-02/28

Monday: Since I don’t have Basketball anymore, I Wortes out with Kylie and did Homework and that’s it! 

Tuesday: I had  College Class again like every tuesday and thursday. I had to take so notes and we have a test on Thursday about 10 pages and we have to learn them by heart so that is what I’m doing tonight when I come home form the Varsity girls basketball game 😊

Wednesday: I had my French final today! We will see how I did when I get my grade! It took 2,5h 😳 After school I worked out, did homework, read my book and that was it! 

Tuesday: I ran for 30min after school and then I went out to eat with friends and to the boys basketball game afterwards 😊  

Friday: We went out for breakfast in the morning! After school, we went home right away to see Aaron and Carrie again before the fly to Florida for a week (for Aaron’s work). Kylie had to babysit and our Grandma and Grandpa took us out to eat and we played games together! I Know.. I went out to eat so many times this week but next week we won’t go anywhere when we are by ourself! By the way, my host family got Family of the months from all the exchange students in the USA who went with AYA.  😊 How excited it that? ☺️

  
   

Saturday: I slept in, we watched some TV, brought Ethan to his hockey game, Kylie washed her car and we went to the movie theater. Not to bad for being without parents 😂    

Sunday: We mad breakfast for our grandma and grandpa and went to Ethan’s hockey all together and then we had volleyball at night! After our practice only Kylie and me had some special practice from a really good coache! That was fun! 

02/15-02/21

Monday: We didn’t have school today because it was Presidents Day! I had basketball practice in the morning! Then Ethan had a cooking party with all his friends and we watched the boys basketball game in the evening! 😊

Wednesday: I had my last basketball practice 🏀 and I had volleyball practice 🏐! And I read my English book, which is really boring, in between. 

Thursday: I had school and then I had a cooking competition for FCCLA Club! I made it to state! ☺️ It is like the cooking shows you watch on the TV. So we had to wear professional cooking clothes too!  

Friday: I didn’t have school today. I went with a little boy (4 years) from the elementary school to the Barnebirkie. That is a cross country skiing (Langlauf) competition and I was „his parents“ for the day! It was really fun! After that, we had our last basketball game! We lost 30-33 but it was a good game and we gave everything we could one more time! Playing basketball was a good decision and it was fun and I got to know so many new people! After the game everybody from my team was crying because of me. They said it is not gonna be the same next year with me because I always made them laugh and we had such a good time! I love my team! 🏀❤️

Saturday and Sunday: We had volleyball all weekend! I had to wake up at 4 o’clock on Saturday and we drove to the cities! We played in Minnesota. We had a couple games and after that my team and me went to the pool in our hotel! Afterwards, we went out to eat and to the Mall of America! I got a cinnamon roll and we rode a roller coaster! It was fun! We stayed the night in the hotel and played all day Sunday again! 🏐  That was before the ride at the Mall! And the two shirts we wear in the picture are form the tournament and they say our name on the back 😊

02/08-02/14

Monday: It was my American Mom’s birthday today! I gave her her gift yesterday because we had a pretty busy day today! By the way she turned 45 🎉 (but she looks way younger ☺️) 

This week is Winterfest! That is like homecoming just with a different name! So today was class color day again, so all the Juniors wore blue and white. 

After school I went to a friends house and after that we supported a funraiser for Cancer! One of my friends had cancer 6 years again and every year they raise money for the organization just in honor for that girl! So we went snowshoeing in the woods all together and everybody donated 5$ to the cancer company! 

When I got home we had deer for diner, it’s called venison that means „Wild“ in German!

Monday: My mom woke up at 5:30 and was looking at her phone and our principal sent out a mail that school is canceled because of the weather… So she woke me up and told me that I can sleep in… that was awesome! We baked all day and my cousins came to our house and in the evening we did an exercise class. 

At the moment it is so cold that you can’t drive or go outside. It is -30 Degrees but it feels like -40 Degrees. The gas freezes and if you go outside for longer than 5 min you get Black Ice that means you get dead skin 😳 

In the video bellow you can see that when you through water out of the window it freezes immediately in the air. So don’t complain about the -5 Degrees in Germany, here is it way colder. 

  
 

Tuesday: I had a Basketball Game, we lost, but it was fun to play. I finished my project in Digital Imagery class today. We had to spell a word with letters we can found in school, outside,…. I did Wisconsin. 

 

• The W is for beef and cheese strings which are common here. 
• The I is the Statue of Liberty.
•  The S is for the cold weather and the snow.
• The C is a donat because I love to bake and I love cinnamon rolls.
• The O is a basketball because I started playing here.
• The N are rulers which stand for Calculas, my favorite class in school.
• The S is a cow tail because Melking cows is something typical for Wisconsin.
• The I is just the American flag because the flag is important here and you always say the Pledge of Alligiance. 
• And the last N are books because I read my first English book here.

Weihnachten 🎅🏼🎄 (24.-26.12)

Am Donnerstag war mein erster Ferientag, seid ich hier bin. Ich bin mit Ethan „Snow shoeing“ gegangen, da läuft man im Schnee und man sinkt mit den Schuhen nicht ein. (Siehe Bild)  Dann habe ich noch mit meiner Familie geskypt, weil man in Deutschland ja am 24. feiert und hier am 25. Da hab ich dann auch das erste mal wieder mit meiner Oma, meinem Opa, Tante und dem Rest der Familie geskypt.
   
    

Zudem ist gestern wieder vorgekommen, dass wir keine einzige Rolle Klopapier im Haus hatten und mein Papa hat den netten Kommentar gemacht: „It is because Anna is Full of Shit and that is why St. Nicolaus didn’t Come on The 6th, so she is Lucky if she gets something for Christmas tomorrow“ Das war ziemlich lustig 😂 Vor allem, weil es der einzige Tah in Jahr ist, wo alle Geschäfte geschlossen sind. 

Abends sind wir dann zu den Cousin’s  von Aaron gegangen. 

Als wir heim kamen, haben wir Karotten und Kekse für Santa rausgestellt und ihn oblie me verfolgt, um zu wissen, wo er ist, weil Ethan immer noch daran glaubt. Es war ziemlich lustig. Haben noch eine App runtergeladen, die Macht als würde Santa dich persönlich anrufen. Santa hat sogar eine eigene Schrift und spezielle Papiertechnik zum einpacken. Ziemlich professionell hier also.    

  Das war, was Santa gebracht hat.     

 Hier noch ein Bild von allen Geschenken unter dem Baum:   

Am 25. hat Ethan dann morgens um 8 Uhr das ganze Haus geweckt und wir haben Geschenke ausgepackt. Meine zwei großen Brüder sind gekommen und meine Oma’s und Opa’s. Danach haben wir alle zusammen Lebkuchenhäuser dekoriert  und Spiele gespielt.   

   

   
   
Das sind alles meine Geschenke, habe ein Gelbeutel, Kissen, Srapbooking Sachen, Scjlafanzug, Spiel, Süßigkeiten, Kleider, Handschuhe, Mütze, .. Bekommen. Das war echt ziemlich viel von meiner einzigartigen Gastfamilie. Dann haben wir zusammen den Tag verbracht und wollten noch in einen coolen Film im Kino anschauen, aber als wir hinkamen, war nur noch eine Karte übrig, also gehen wir ein anderes mal. Und nur so nebenbei, das typische Weihnachtsessen hier waren Sparribs, was hätte man anders erwarten in den USA. 

So das war’s für heute.

In den Ferien werde ich euch eine Zusammenfassung von meinen Erfahrungen hier auf english schreiben und ab 2016 schreibe ich euch das tägliche Update dann auch auf English, weil english gerade einfacher ist für mich.

Frohe Weihnachten an alle! 🎄🎅🏼

P.S: Als wir heute eine Art Tabu gespielt haben, hat man voll gesehen, dass die Amerikaner nur eine Sprache können. Also ich versucht habe „is“ zu erklären und gesagt habe, dass es „The present Tense of be for third Person Singular“ ist, hat es niemand kapiert, weil die nichts an Grammatik können, wissen noch nicht mal was Verben und so sind.   Die wissen nicht wie man die Zeiten bildet, die sind einfach nur dran gewöhnt und wissen was zu sagen. Das hat mich ein bisschen überrascht.🙊

P.P.S: Hier haben alle meine Freunde 200€ ausgegeben für ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für Ihre „Boy- and Grilfriend’s“. 💰

P.P.P.S: Haben Wizard gespielt @meinen deutschen Papa #favoriteGame ❤️

Samstag: Wir haben Spiele gespielt und sind zum 2. Mal zum Kino gefahren, nachdem wir gestern schon mal hingefahren sind und es ausverkauft, haben wir es heute dann geschafft in den Film „Daddy’s Home“ zu schauen, jedoch war die frühere Vorstellung auch ausverkauft, so haben wir 2h warten müssen, aber es hat sich gelohnt, der Film war echt gut. In einen Raum passen nur 60 Leute, aber jeder hat einen bequemen Massagestuhl, den man verstellen kann und alles… War ziemlich cool 🎞   

 Sonntag: waren Snow Shoeing, waren bei meiner Oma für Weihnachten mit der ganzen Familie, hab mit Ethan sein Zimmer aufgeräumt…   

 

21.-23.12

Montag: Basketballspiel, Pumpkin Bars gemacht, Essen verkauft für FCCLA Club

Mittwoch: Letzter Schultag in Amerika in dem Jahr 2015. 😳🎓 Das kann ein etwas längerer Post werden. Erst einmal haben alle Kinder, die eine Alleinerziehende Mutger oder Vater haben, haben einen 30€ Gutschein von der Schule bekommen. Ich musst heute um 5 Uhr aufstehen, weil wir Basketball vor der Schule hatten 🏀😅 Danach habe ich dort geduscht und mich schick angezogen. Wir hatten den ganzen Morgen nix zu tun und hatten verkürzte Stunden, weil wir eine Klassenparty hatten, wo jeder was zu essen mitgebracht hat. Danach hatten wir eine 2-stündige „Variety-Show“, das ist eine Unterhaltungsshow, um den letzten Schultag noch ein bisschen lustig zu beenden. Ich musst einen Vortrag über Deutschland machen mit den anderen Austauschschülern. Es gab so viele lustige Aufführung: Es wurde getanzt und gesungen, es wurden Videos oder Leute nachgespielt, Zeichensprache Erde vorgeführt, Spiele haben wir zusammen gemacht und Kinderbilder von den Lehrern gesehen, … außerdem haben wir heute die Freundinnen Geschenke ausgetauscht und ich habe einen Bilderrahmen bekommen und ganz viel coole Sachen. 🎁 Meine Freunde haben sich auch über ihre Geschenke gefreut. Zudem hat es heute 15cm geschneit, genau pünktlich zu Weihnachten🎅🏼🎄 Ich wünsche allen frohe Weihnachten in Deutschland 🇩🇪

  

Das war erst der Anfang, hat den ganzen Tag geschneit..

In der Pause (9:06-9:22) singt unser Tisch immer Lieder und die sind alle so gut wie ich im singen, also wisst ihr ja was das bedeutet, ist vielleicht auch der Grund warum wir fast die einzigen sind in der ganzen Aula 😂😂

Mittwoch: der Tag hat gut angefangen…wir sind vor der Schule zu einem Day Care for Dogs gefahren, jedoch hatten die aus einem unerklärlichen Grund nicht offen, also hatte Carrie den ganzen Tag den Hund in der Schule dabei..jedoch hat er dann noch ins Auto gepinkelt und wir mussten mit auf der Strase anhalten dann hätten wir noch tausende Schulbusse vor uns, mussten Kylie und Eike Freundin noch abholen und somit war Carrie dann 20mib zu spät für Ihr Meeting und musste sich noch um den Hund kümmern… So in Foods haben wir dann ein ganzes Chicken auseinander nehmen müssen und komplett verarbeiten.. Wir haben auch eine Pep Rally gemacht, als die Band hat gepielt und wir haben applaudiert und die Jungs für morgen angefeuert und einen Tinnel gebildet bis zu ihrem Bus, wo sie durchgerannt sind, weil die heute ins Hotel gefahren sind.
