Munich is a big developed city – it has great economic growth and very big businesses like BMW. In Munich you feel you have to do something, you have to make yourself a great person; there is a great push. I had to choose between four schools and chose to come here. I liked the environment, especially nature. When I first arrived I felt very lonely –I had to get to know new people and understand how the system works. The thing I miss most is my free time. In Germany school ended at 1pm – I could go home and do anything I wanted. I also miss the snow. There’s no skiing here. The landscape here is the same all year.
