Thursday, June 8: Oberursel and Frankfurt

My exchange student and I got to school at eight o’clock this morning.  Her first class was a political and economics class. In this class they had a discussion over a video the class had made.  They talked about what they feel they should have done differently and the improvements they planned to make. Then we met with a member of the city council in Oberursel. This was very interesting because we got to ask questions which helped us to understand Oberursel better. We asked questions that ranged from Oberursel specific to the refugee crisis. Then we went back to school and I went to my exchange student’s last two classes. She had math and accounting. After school a group of Americans and Germans went to get ice cream before heading to Frankfurt.  In Frankfurt the father of one of the German students gave us a tour of the city.  We saw the stock exchange, learned about apple wine, talked about how and why Frankfurt became a large city, visited several churches, and much more. We also got to see Frankfurt from the Main river, which was beautiful. It was great to be able to spend more time in Frankfurt.  After Frankfurt a group of us went back to Oberursel (some stayed behind to do more in Frankfurt) and we got dinner.  Overall, it was a really fun day.   ~Claudia Z.
