Deutschkurs Bern 2016

Over the last two weeks, we all took part in a transformative course based in Bern. Although we all have different backgrounds and cultures, we had one thing in common: the hope to expand our minds and our hearts and therefore learn a new language. The great Nelson Mandela once said,

'The greatest glory in living lies in never falling, but in rising every time we fall'

We, as group, have had our moments. But, as a result, we are more Swiss than ever before.

Best moments:

• Camilla speaking Italian
• Heidi getting on the train
• Gala texting her friends
• Angela and Cristian telling a joke
• Francesco 
• Daniel telling a joke
• Thomas* buying some hot chestnuts

Tomorrow, we embark on a brand new adventure. This aims to change our lives for ever. When we first heard about it we could not sleep at night. Sledding. It took a while for the news too sink in, however we now as a group feel ready.
 
We as a group believe that if there is a God, his everlasting love certainly has manifested within the last two weeks -- mostly in Daniel who is a real hero (he bought us burgers once).

As you can see, this bridge is made out of wood. Imagine: a boat collides with this bridge. Collectively, we have determined that there would no longer be a bridge.

Don't worry -- we're not actually dressed like this. However, Cristian's afro is no costume.
