L.A. here we come!

We finally arrived in L.A. California, this day 19^th March. The weather is pretty boring, and not like we expected, we thought it would be sunny and warm, but it’s pretty chilly and cloudy and the temperature is around 60 F. We all arrived at different times at LAX and the Belo team picked us up. Our hotel is Crowne hotel in Orange County and around a 45 min far from downtown and LAX. The hotel has a pretty nice pool and a lot of people, who arrived earlier this day, were spending hours in the pool and especially the hot-tub!

At 8 we had dinner, it was pretty yummy =) After that our trip coordinator, Carleigh, gave us our orientation with all the information about the trip and we all are way excited for the next week, because it’s going to be a blast!

We are 47 exchange students from all over the world, most likely from Germany (17),and then from Denmark (2), China (1) , Italy (5) , Brazil (1), Spain (1), Switzerland (5), Netherlands (1), Thailand (3), Latvia (1), Turkey (1), Canada (1), Belgium (1), Norway (1), Japan (1), Finland (1), Austria (1), and two host siblings from the USA.

Tomorrow we are going to the Universal Studios and we are going to spend the whole day there, and we are all way excited for it and we hope the weather is going to be good! But the bad meteorologist says its going to be rainy =( Either way we are excited to be in California!

So I hope all of you guys are going to catch up on our blog and have fun reading it.

Until then, sweet dreams to all over the world!

Goodnight America!
