难忘的德国之旅

A Memorable Trip to Germany
I see what I never saw.
I do what I never did.
I experience what I never experienced.
I imagine what I never imagined.
The trip to Germany is just like a fantasy. Although we’ve been back for a few days, however, I’ll never forget every happy moment I spent there.
Above all, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Thomas School and German government for offering me this great opportunity. I appreciate the trip very much. I think this is the most important journey in my life so far, for it not only changed my sense of value but also changed my future plan. Before that, I can never imagine how we can get to close to foreign friends because we have a lot of differences in our cultures. But in fact, it’s not as complicated as I thought before. Just as the slogan goes “two countries, two civilizations, one world”.
I was deeply attracted by the new country the moment I took off the plane. I just wanted to breathe the air from every corner of the new place. Mr. Neofurth picked us up punctually. On our way to Akademie Biggesee, everybody was surrendered to the excellent traffic and beautiful scenery. I took lots of photos without hesitation and we arrived at the Akademie unconsciously.
It’s completely a new style for us to introduce each other instead of introduce ourselves. After that, we were divided into several groups to do some group work in the following days.
The first thing we did was to introduce our own country, both advantages and disadvantages. I was totally astonished when I saw the German students talk so frankly that they didn’t hide anything, even the worst part of their country. It gave me an impression that I could communicate with everybody here heartly and solely.
The next we did is to pick out the aim and value of our future from many cards. When we exchanged our cards, I found that indeed we share a lot in common. Maybe this is the reason I appreciate the teamwork because we can find a lot of similarities from different cultures, different civilizations and different nationalities.
The last thing we did together was to built a fantasy city. I dare say we will never see these kinds of activities in China. We drew a map first, and then we made our constitutions and finally we built our city with various materials. I will never forget the great rapture the moment we finished our masterpiece. Moreover, I think the process was worth cherishing. For everybody dedicated their own part and teamwork with foreigners gave me a lot of creative ideas.
We spent the last two days visiting two local factories and the governments of Attendorn and Olpe. Though some of the managers and governors couldn’t speak English, we were still moved by their enthusiastic welcome and hospitality.
Besides above, I think I’m the most lucky one who experienced almost every aspect of German culture.
We went to bar together to drink Krombacher beer which all the Germans are proud of.
We ate Döner together on the way back to Akademie.
We swam together in the Biggesee that we even forgot the coldness of the water.
We played rugby together on the road without autos.
We played the guitar together and we sang a song together.
We played tricks together.
We played words games together.
We learnt German and Chinese together.
We laughed together.
We smiled together.
………………..
………………..
………………..
And we did a lot of other memorable things together.
I can still remember everyone took pictures with me in the last evening.
I can still remember everyone hug me tightly in the next morning.
I can still remember when I was weeping all my way home, everyone has already rooted down inside of my heart.
On the last day, when Tobi and Martin asked me whether I enjoyed my trip in Germany, I answered them without hesitation: “I enjoy every moment here, and I cherish every minute here.”
Happy time is always short, but the memories will last forever and the friendship will last forever.
I have to say thanks once more to Thomas School and German government, thank you for broadens my outlook.
Thanks, my German friends. Thank you for considering me as a friend and sharing your cultures with me.
Thanks, Germany. Thank you for your excellent environment and enthusiastic hospitality.
Good-bye German friends.
Good-bye Germany.
I’m looking forward to see my friends in China in October.
Welcome to China.
