DERAE's 7th REPORT
Posted by Peter Thompson
Dear Rotary,
I am now at my 7 month mark. Wow, time goes by fast. I feel like as the time goes by I get busier and busier. March was a very good month. I was lucky and was able to have two friends from Canada come and visit me for a week. It was really cool being able to show people from back home my new life. I brought them to all the major towns and all the places I like to hang out at. It was a really fun week and kind of sad to say goodbye but felt good to go back to my usual daily routine.

Right after my week with my friends my host brother returned from his exchange in Taiwan with rotary. I have finally met everyone in my family. For celebrating him coming back my brothers and I went out together and did some "Family Bonding" out on the town. On the same weekend the Rotex put together a day at Durbey Adventure for all the exchange students. Durbey is like a giant outdoor park with zip lines, go karting and tree climbing.
As far as everything else, all is going well. School is always the same not much changes there. With rotary I got to help with some events this month. The first was a concert where I helped sell tickets and programs. And the other was the "operation thermos". We prepared a meal for the homeless people and after we distributed it at the train station. My family still remains to be awesome and we get along great. So the month of March was good. I got to see friends from Canada, got extra time off of school and got to meet my other brother. Until next letter (only 3 months left!)
