Basically Homecoming is like a club in Germany. The only differences are: At Homecoming is no alcohol, adults and the police are there (I don´t know about other High Schools but at my the police was there) and you wear fancy clothes to it. Homecoming is also much shorter than the time you spend in a club. My Homecoming was from 7pm to 10pm and a club is usually from 8 or 9 pm to midnight or (if your 18 or if you have a letter from your mom that your allowed to and that you have an 18 years old person with you) the hole night. The rest is the same. Loud music, dancing and both is lot of fun.

My Homecoming day starts at 2 pm. Me and my host sister went to our friends house where we got ready for Homecoming. We did our hair, our Make up and put on our dresses. Than we went to the house of another friend from us to take pictures and eat food.

Than we drove to school. The dance took place in the gym. We had to wait until they let us in and when I was in the gym I was impressed how beautiful it looked. They made the Entrance like a red carpet because the topic of our Homecoming was: Spend a Night in Hollywood. It looked so beautiful. But the stupidest thing I´ve ever heard was: You just by new High Heels for the pictures. For the actual dance you put your shoes off, put them on the side of the gym and you dance just on your feet. At the beginning I felt really weird to dance. After a while when the dance floor was fuller and everyone was dancing I start to dance too. I still felt weird but after two or three songs it was okay and I had lots of fun. Honestly I was glad that I had a shorter dress. It was so warm in the gym. So for Homecoming: buy a short dress!! The music was so good. Some of the songs I didn´t know but that was okay. The end was really suddenly. I don´t know. You had so much fun, enjoyed the music and the atmosphere and than they say: ´Now it´s the last song.´and than it´s over. You go home. I was like: ´Seriously? That´s it? The evening just started and it´s over? Okay that was short.´ But when I look back I could´t imagine a better Homecoming. It was just a beautiful evening.
1. I wrote about Homecoming and the differences and Similarities to a club because I think it would be pretty interesting for other people to see. I also really enjoyed Homecoming and wanted to share this experience with my family and friends in Germany and America.
AntwortenLöschen2. For any reason the sizes of the letters in the german and english part were different. I used the same size but it just didn´t work out. I tried everything but it just was like this. I could´t change it so I just left it as it was.
3. I wanted to make my audience more interested about learning things from other countries and cultures. I also wanted to let them know what I, as a person from a different country, think about their Homecoming.
