USM+visits+Borna

= = ==

In June, 2014 the University School of Milwaukee/Wiscons invisited our High School “Gymnasium Am Breitem Teich” in Borna. Twelve American students stayed with us for five day .We think it was a wonderful time for everybody. Right after the arrival of our guests at Borna station we had a welcome party at our school. There were a lot of interested people who brought a lot of delicious food. We enjoyed a very great dancing show. The first meeting ended with the soccer game (Germany- Ghana) and everybody wanted to see it. (Germany won :D) Furthermore we had organised a guided tour across Borna - our hometown. We saw the historical places and a lot of memorials. We went to the new lakes in our neighborhood and visited Leipzig. We saw the Castle Colditz and went on a trip to the “New Lakeland”. Both the American students and the participating German students learned a lot about the history of Saxony. At the end of the day we played bowling, relaxed and had a lot of fun together.

Almost every day we met for a barbecue or spent time with other hosts and their guests. It would take too long to tell everything we did at this time. So if you are interested look at the pictures we took.

Following up on the visit by the Gymnasium am breiten Teich to USM in the fall of 2013, USM students and faculty visited Borna from June 21-26, 2014 following a Central European Trip.

While in Borna, we visited the Gymnasium am breiten Teich, had a guided tour of the city, visited Leipzig, and toured the new lake lands that were reclaimed from the old collieries.
