Hey folks,
its unbelievable.. Already a half year passed since I came here to Torquay. A half year!! o.O
Means that I only have four to go.. Time flew by so incredibly fast here. I changed here so much and the most important thing - I achieved nearly every goal I wanted to achieve. My English got a lot better, I made several new friends, I started to live on my own which means I got more self reliant and I gained some new experience in case of life :)

Reminds you of somewhere right? :) |
I am really glad that my parents supported me with this idea and I am really thankful for this. I cant imagine to live without this experience, I would still be the innocent, shy Martin :D
At this point I really need to point out all my good and close friends I made here. There are so many but I will write a little bit to each person. I will also start with those I know longer than those I recently met:
Florian:
One of my closest friends here, helping me through good and bad times, wears nothing but his suits ;)
Amazing that I only know you since a half year, its like we are friends since elementary school..
Jonas:
Crazy, loud, childish but also adult. Also one of my closest friends here. He is the first person I have spoken with who is going to Torquay like me :D Teached me lots of things, positive and negative... ;)
Paul:
Schwabe aus dem Schwabenland... :D Likes to argue, but has some good points as well :D The third of my closest friends here, went through good and bad days with me, unfortunately going in about 2 month..
Erik:
My best international mate here. From Sweden ( Uppsala :DD) also called "the peaceful giant". Met him first time in math class and it was love at the first sight.. :D Teached me some interesting stuff...
Mira:
Beautiful, crazy Slovak girl. Did a lot with her before Christmas, unfortunately lost contact with her after new year.. But we are still good friends and we are still talking with each other :)
Lucia:
Also a beautiful, interesting Slovak girl. Met her first time at the beach where she passed out and needed to stay at my place :D Brings back old memories... "old" xD
Peter:
A patient Slovak boy who lets me copy every math homework :D Always joking about lolstuff and Russian vodka things xD
Frank:
Bullied because he is from cologne , nevertheless a really close friend of mine. Had to leave Torquay unfortunately three weeks ago but plans to come here again :)
Jimmy:
My hostbrother who never used to go out.. xD Cooked several nights together and its good to have a Chinese boy here since I can also improve my Chinese :)
Kevin:
The tallest Chinese guy I have met yet. Really simpathic and patient when it comes to helping me in math :)
Ryan:
Best English mate I have here. We had lots of fun together and he teached me some nasty gym exercises :D
I hope you can visit me in Berlin next year!!! :)
Chiara:
First Austrian girl I met so far. Really beautiful and has incredibly captivating eyes.. o.O Hard to believe that I only know you for 2 month.. Likes to bully and correct me a lot :P
Annika:
Oldest of my German friends here, acts like a diva but I still like her :) Beautiful long hair and really white skin, together with Rami the most sarcastic person I met so far... xD
Rami:
Most sympathic Swiss guy I met so far. We had unforgettable nights outside and I turned you into the dubstep guy :D
These 14 (!) people are really good and close friends of mine.. I love them all and I really hope that I will keep contact with them after this exchange year :) Like I said before, its been 6 month.. 4 to go..
There were several good friends of mine who already left Torquay because they only stayed one term which means 3 month and some good friends will leave Torquay soon.. I cant imagine to say goodbye when the time finally comes... Until then I will enjoy every free minute I have here and try to make the best of the time.
