I had a very caring host family, which showed a lot of interest in me and wanted to share time with me. The school and the pupils were happy that I’ve been there and participated with lots of effort, what gave me even more motivation. I had enough time and possibilites to explore the beautful surroundings of Stellenbosch and went to Cape Town quite often, too. Stellenbosch for it’s own is relativly safe, you can walk around in the city and take the taxi-busses everywhere, which are cheap. Of course there are parts of the town, .e.g. Kayamandi, where you have to be careful. All in all it was a time I don’t want to miss and I would do it again everytime!
