Family life


As we are all seventeen, this exchange is the first time most of us are staying away from our families for such a long time. I think none of us found it extremely easy to leave our parents at the airport that Sunday morning. We were all wondering how it would be living in an English host family, but as soon as we came to Bath, we figured out that it wasn’t difficult at all! We were all met by friendly, welcoming people who took us into their homes as though we were a part of their family.

Some differences are there of course between Norwegian and English family life; routines, food and activities are some of them. It was important for all of us to become a proper part of the family. We do different activities with them in the weekends; some have gone and seen Stonehenge, Theatre Royal and varying museums while others have gone to rugby matches, boat trips and family picnics. It is important to remember that we are not living in a hotel, but in a family and we have to treat them as such.
