Today we had to visit the customs office. My family ordered shoes off Amazon, however the came from the United States. Here in Germany, if you purchase outside of the EU, you must pay tariffs on it. You also have to open the box in front of a worker to ensure the good are real, not knockoffs or not what you purchased. If they aren't real then you don't get them. The tariff was 24,50€ on a pair of Nike shoes.
We also went for ice cream again since it was such a hot day. We currently have another exchange student staying with us, she is from Venezuela. She just finished her exchange year, but has decided to stay in Germany to continue her education.
My host-parents took me out for dinner to a very nice Italian restaurant. I really enjoyed talking to them about the history of Germany, especially since they experience it first hand, whereas I learn about it in class. We also went over some of the Rotary rules and answered any questions we had for each other.
