Cycling through nature

After a trip to Passau, my partner, Paula, asked me if I wanted to go for a bike ride. So we tightened our helmets and were ready to go. After we cycled for a bit, the buildings and houses started to vanish with the open farms and mountains replacing them.

Cycling in Bavaria

When I looked up in the sky I thought that the big white and black clouds would just pour showers on us. The sound of the river and the chirping of the birds calmed both of us while we rode. I felt that I was not tired anymore. The scenic beauty of Straubing is so appealing and exquisite.

Regional Television – International Guests

Beside the many radio stations the region of lower Bavaria comprises some regional television stations which air local news, weather forecasts and even small productions about regional events.

One regional event definitely was the visit of our international exchange students at TV-A television station in Regensburg. At this place the students got to know about the creation of television news, about technical details and about the work of the TV-A team.

What they got to know? Just watch yourself as they interviewed one of the TV-A reporters and recorded everything with the original studio equipment.

We just reduced the quality of the video for you, as it will more convenient for you to watch it on the phone.

India on Air

Media Rules! That is the name of this year’s topic and therefore our Indian guests explore not only the lovely forests of Lower Bavaria but also work hard on their project.

While they visited a local radio station in Straubing they interviewed many reporters but also got interviewed. With this media content the radio station Radio AWN created a small report about the exchange which was aired last Friday.

Even if you can’t understand the German language you will definitely recognise the voice of Megha Gupta. She tells the anchor about our exchange and the so far experiences during the exchange.

Warmth in the Cold Region

I, Rashika B., am enjoying to the fullest in Germany!

The heat produced by the stove melts down the coldness in humans. My hands working in the kitchen impressed my German family. Luisa’s  sister, Teresa, and I made Spatzle. Spatzle is a Bavarian speciality.

Boiling, heating, cutting and mixing not only made us cook a finger licking dish but also enabled us to mix up with each other. While we talked, cooked and cracked jokes, the dish was ready. It was creamy and tasty. The delicious dish made a place for me in the family.

The cheesy liver

Leberkaese
More a meat loaf than a cheesy liver – Leberkäse

On the night the arrival, we had arrived late and I hadn’t expected to get anything to eat. But upon the arrival I found out that my partners parents had made a very lip smacking typical Bavarian food which had Leberkäse (literally translated to cheesy liver, in spite of not containing any of these ingredients), cheese and many other great food items.

The food was really tasty and had a completely different flavour as to what I have tasted in my home county. The food was a complex mixture of fun, adventure and excitement. It was really tasty!

A Home Away From Home

I am Samanvi J. and am hosted by the Stoffels. I am currently in Straubing, Germany I never expected the German exchange to be such an amazing experience.

All over Europe, the beauty of the nature and the culture is maintained. Development goes hand in hand with the maintainance of culture and tradition. I was a little apprehensive about living with complete strangers for two whole weeks but to my surprise, the Stoffels were very kind and treated me as their own family member. 

My partner’s parents treat me as their own daughter and give me love and take care of me . On the other hand, Johannes Turmair Gymnasium is fantastic. The school has a beautiful campus and provides students with knowledge and exposure. After tasting Bavarian food and witnessing their dance, language and many more things , I feel that the exquisite Bavarian culture has become part of me.
