Picture exchange

On the picture I choose you can see a big cathedral. It is called the "Aachener Dom". You also see some green trees and the blue sky. The whole picture means a lot for me because the "Aachener Dom" is one of the biggest and oldest cathedrals in germany. You may now think religion is really important to me, but it is not. It is the traditional and cultural history of this building which intrigue me. There is so many european history behind it that it is important to all europeans.

But that is not the main point why I choose this picture. The main point is that Aachen is my hometown. I will go there for semester breaks and I lived there for 19 years. When I see this picture right now I think about my family at home, my friends and my girlfriend and these thoughts make me strong to go forward. It was a big step in my life to leave my home country and study in the US but now I will meet new people and my life go on in a very special way. But the thoughts about my friends and my family let me believe that I will go my way and that is the main reason why I choose this image. It gives me a feeling of being safe in a country I do not really know yet. When I will come back in winter break there will be a big christmas market which is one of the most traditional markets in germany and you really get to know a lot of things about german history there. So I am very excited to come back. Meet all my friends, my girlfriend and my family. That are the reasons why I picked this image.
