When I found out I would be living in Ratingen for my year abroad it's fair to say I was less than impressed. There's not much info about it on the internet and I was dreading spending the year far away from everything. However when my flight landed and I met my host family it soon became clear I wouldn't be too cut off. Düsseldorf airport is only ten minutes from the town of Ratingen. My host family are very nice and after eating a quick tea with them I headed up to my room. I'm sharing the second floor of the house with the daughter of the family and I've actually got a really nice room which is brilliant, because there's a fair chance I will be spending many winter evenings in it!
There's also an ensuite shower room which is pretty cool because, if you know me you'll probably know, i am on it for having showers. Also, it's a power shower which is awesome.
There's also a toilet and a little kitchenette kind of thing on my floor with hobs and a fridge for me to use, so I'm set up pretty nicely really. So yeah, that's about it for the first day... I went to sleep reasonably early with the training course in Altenberg to look forward to the next day.
