USA, The School

A lot of people are asking me about Usa, though it has been over a month since I came home, so I decided to write a little bit about it.
I went to Usa as an au pair end of July. The first 4 days I was at a campus, an au pair school. It was a lot of fun, got to meet a lot of people from every type of country like mexico, Australia (guess if I was enjoying the accent) Colombia and offcourse like 150 Germans. They seem to be wanting to take over the world. So the first days it did not feel like Usa since I was surrounded by german no matter where I went. But the Lationos were alot of fun, haha they made me dance with them, and they Sweds thaught they were crazy. We were about ten Sweds there, outnumbered. I also met this really nice girl there, she is from Switherland, I think she was the only from there, she was also a christian so that made me real glad to hear that we were going to places close to each other.
I have to describe the school to you:
The school area was very big, it was an old school that was now used as Cultural cares introducing week place. we slept in one house and had our classes in another.
For me, who is a citybean, I found it very naturish..mosqitos everywhere...
Then there was some other houses and a lot of green areas, and the sea, or maybe it was a lake..
The most pretty thing though were fireflies, when it got dark you could see them and they were like little stars..
The houses were not the least luxurios...imagine your old school showers and the worst bathrooms you have been at and I think it would be pretty much the same..so I was glad it was only 4 days.
Evryday we had lessons in how to take care of kids, like don´t shake a baby and a bunch of ither things. our teacher was really cool, a true new yorker, I so enjoyed her outgoing way.
One day A cop came to our school to talk about safety, and another time we had a singalong..that was funny. all the countries gathered and had songs from their countris, the Sweds had björnen sover and smågrodorna with the dance and all haha, and I was the bear adn chased everybody of the stage, haha to be a child again...One group of germans had a really funny one too, somethings about a bee I think..I did not get it but it looked funny, wish I had a Camera..
The day before we were departing to wherever we were supposed to go we had a one day trip ti NYC. Sue and I got on the same bus, and went off to see the city for the first time.
It was really cool to see it, but for some reason it all felt so familiar..bet it´s cause of the tv..
we got a tourguide on the bus and went all over NYC, and we got the privilege to see the naked Cowboy at Times Square haha lol.. Then we took the ferry to see the Statue of liberty. After that we got a few hours to see Nyc on our own..Sue and I went off and were just walking around up and down the fift ave..I also tried my first Dunkin donuts and I honestly don´t see why my friends make such a fuss about it..i also remember Sue looking for a phone, haha..yeah well that was my first visit and ven though not much happened, it still was really cool to just be there, I was going back anyways..
The next day I got up early and got a ride to Newark airport to go to my relatives, but u can read about that in the next one.
