I hope this blog is helpful, enertaining and insightful to those looking to be exchange studenst as well as for those who never were able to experience the chance. If anyone ever has question, please do not hesitate to ask! You can contact me by commenting or by emailing me at: mnkholcomb@gmail.com

Hallo Kurt,
habe deinen Blog über München gelesen.
1. Nicht nur du bist so früh aufgestanden um den erste Flug zu bekommen sondern ich auch, weil ich so nett war, dich mit dem Auto zu Flughafen zu bringen.
2. Schön das es dir dort so gut gefallen hat und das du Magda überraschen konntest. Du bedankst dich für die schöne Zeit in München bei Magda und ihrer Familie aber von uns, die dir das ermöglicht haben und sogar den Flug bezahlt haben sagst du nichts!
Schade, dass ich deinen Blog erst nach deinem Abflug gefunden habe, denn ich hätte noch einige Anmerkungen gehabt.
Trotzdem haffen wir, dass du gut wieder zuhause angekommen bist.
