First contact with my host family
My "Cambridge adventure" is coming very close and finally I have some detailed information!
I got an e-mail from the language organisation on Friday with my host family's name, address and phone number and of course I wanted to get in touch with them as soon as possible... My curiosity was already killing me!!! So I plucked up all my courage and tried to call them Friday evening but nobody answered the phone - next try yesterday around lunch time, same result... I already began to wonder what kind of people they might be but today I was lucky and someone picked up the phone: I was so nervous and had the impression to have forgotten all my English - therefore felt like a complete idiot! - but my future "host mother" was very nice and obviously didn't mind that I had to ask twice because I didn't understand everything in her very british accent... Although we didn't talk for a long time I found out something that sounds like a lot of fun: this woman has two own "kids" - or whatever you want to call them: they are 20 and 22 years old!!! Unfortunately I don't know yet whether they're boys or girls but actually it doesn't really matter - this is just perfect! I mean, if anyone could tell me about the coolest places in Cambridge, about where to go or what not to do, it's people of that age!!
Maybe I'm lucky for once? :)
I'll keep you all updated as soon as I know more about them - I got my host mother's e-mail address and I'm definitely going to make use of it for further questions!
