Today was the first day that I met inbounds, and other outbounds in my district (6250). We went to the conference talent show rehearsal, and I met around 10 or so people... which is pretty cool because I've never met or seen barely ANY other exchangers. It was really cool to talk to the people from Germany, they spoke some French so ironically we held most of our conversations in French. (which was awesome) I also tried speaking to them in German, which was really fun, and I think I asked them about a thousand times how to say certain this "auf Deutsch."
Other than that, I met some really cool outbounds who are going to really cool places, and all have amazing stories. I feel as if we all can connect on a whole new level that most people, who arn't exchangers, can't. I think the coolest part is the ease it is to meet new people. Seriously, it was "awkward" for less than a minute, and we left the rehearsal, arms wrapped around eachother, singing loudly to a song that none of us had ever heard! This small experience has gotten me very excited for the conference on Friday... I don't know what to expect... but I'm sure it will be very amazing.
