Guten Tag!
I've just been back home in Europe for some weeks and I loved it. While Australia is hibernating, the northern part of the world is relaxing outside enjoying the sun at the beach.
Coming home after more than a year was surprisingly easy and everyone was very welcoming. I though it might be strange meeting friends after a year but luckily being home felt like I haven't been away at all. Catching up with family and friends was fun and I was heaps busy all the time.
On my way back to Adelaide an Aussie passenger next to me asked me: 'You're flying home?' and I hesitated and answered: 'Actually, I am not sure. Somehow I am coming from home and I am going home!'
What a crazy life being an international student!! :)
