Hey my name is Ashly and I'm from San Diego, California. I'm 17 years old and I have only had 3 years of German. We are staying in Aurich for 2 weeks and then in Berlin for one more. At home I surf, cheer, ride dirt bikes, and hang out with friends. I really like Aurich and how everyone here rides bikes everywhere! It's much more fun than driving! I think that the only things i don't like are that everything closes at 8:00 and people are allowed to smoke in restaurants and stuff. 

Hey hows it goin?  My name is Erik I am from San Diego too and I am 18 years old.  I have had 3 years of german as well and i am here in Aurich for the second time.  I came here two years ago on the exchange and just had to come back again.  In my free time i like to hang out with my friends, drive around, and go to the desert and ride my dirtbike.  I really like the layed back mentality and nobody is ever in a rush.  But yeah thats pretty much it.
