City Kiel

Star sign Virgo

Kiel is a city with 300,000 people near the Baltic Sea. In Germany, the temperature stays around 13 degrees Celsius for most of the year. The weather is mainly rainy and stormy - only during summer does the temperature go up to 25 degrees, and we get some sunshine.

I study German, English, maths, geography, science, economics and sport. On normal days, I spend one hour doing homework. In the future, I hope to finish school and search for a job related to economics.

My first language is German and my second language is English. I would describe myself as sporty, friendly, reserved and consider myself a very lucky person.

I like R&B music, and my favourite movie is The Simpsons Movie. I don't have an idol as such, but I have always looked up to my father.

In my free time I do a lot of sports, play on the computer, meet with friends and sometimes I go fishing with my dad. I usually hang out with my friends at home, in the park or in town. We play basketball and football, go to the cinema and sometimes the beach.

I eat everything my mum cooks. Every now and then I help her cook traditional German cuisine. My housework generally involves me helping my mum in the kitchen and with the dishes, tidying my room, working in the garden and buying groceries.

An important festival in our country is the Kieler Woche. It's the biggest sailing event in the world. Some people celebrate it by partying for a week, while others celebrate by actually getting involved and go sailing.

I'm an AFS exchange student in Hong Kong and live with my host family in Tai Po. I attend the HK & KLN Kaifong Women's Association Sun Fong Chun.

I have 20 schoolmates and five teachers, and we have a very relaxed relationship. I hope to stay in Hong Kong to learn and see different and interesting things.
