At Springville Junior High, most students would agree that there are a lot of interesting people at this school. One on the list would be Zach Nemelka. Zach Nemelka is a 9th grade student from SJHS and just recently came back from living in Germany for 15 months. He and his family went there to just take a vacation and to learn European customs.
Zach lived in Starnberg, a small town in Bavaria Germany, which is south west of the city Munich. He ate a variety of food including bratwurst, which is a type of meat composed of pork, beef, or veal. He also ate schnitzel which is an Austrian cuisine that is a slice of veal coated in bread crumbs and then fried.
Zach liked to play basketball and volleyball. He also enjoyed eating lots and lots of food. “There isn’t a lot you can do there you can’t do here,” Zach explains.
Zach went to 33 other countries last year as well which include England, France, Spain, Austria, and Russia. He traveled a lot, and he found his way around by using the Subway to get into the city.
“School was pretty much the same in Germany as it is here, except for we only had six classes a day and we had a hour and a half for lunch,” Zach says. “I liked to go swimming in lake Starnberg. I saw tons of castles including Neuschwanstien. I liked to be with friends, go to cities, and eat food,” Zach continued.
Zach says he would like to go back, but not quite sure when. He is very excited about going back to Germany.
