HLS greets Southafrica

In the morning, we went to the town hall of Oldenburg. There we were greeted and took some pictures with the whole group. Then we went into a conference room where the deputy welcomed us and gave a speech. We were given the opportunity to take several pictures and sign in the visitors’ book of Oldenburg. It was great to be officially greeted by the mayor and therefore to see which importance this whole exchange program really has.
Later that day the group met at the house of a Professor who works at the university of Oldenburg. Together with his two children he gave us a little workshop about the plants surrounding a lake near his home called the ’’Drielaker See’’. He even prepared some sheets with information for us. We went for a walk around the lake and sometimes we stopped and he told us about how the plants evolved to the point that they are at right now. After the little walk we were invited to a drink at his house. Overall it was very interesting and we are very thankful that he spent his freetime on giving us this little workshop.
In the evening of that day the whole group went bowling together. We were divided into groups of six and simply enjoyed the evening. In total we were bowling for around 90 minutes. This was a great last activity with the group before the farewell party on sunday.Read more
