GREECE. Day 3 (Tuesday)

 HOW TO OVERCOME A CRISIS, HOW TO BECOME BRAVER

 The second day we were told to wake up earlier, at 7:00am, in order to be well prepared for the debate, which was about the economic crisis that Greece has suffered for the last ten years. Once we all met by the high school, they took us to the school  auditorium, where we had a brief presentation, that the students gave us, about what we were going to discuss.

Nervous but ready

Clarifying our ideas

  The  debate began. We were   distributed in six groups of either five or six people, they gave us one of the three main economic systems: capitalism, communism and socialism; and we had to solve some given problems such as emotional crisis, brain drain and brain gain.
  Finally,  we reach some kind of conclusion: the European Union had to remain together, in order to decide which is the most effective one, Anyway, we came to   the conclusion that none of them can solve the problems by itself, it would be necessary the three system’s union to overcome them. 
+Who will be the winner?
-None of them  

  Then, we went to eat, really fast, because we wanted to go to the city center with other Erasmus people . It was a great opportunity to get to know each other better, spending time and eating together, and to take pictures, that would become memories. 

The kindest and craziest host 


Our private sightseeing tour

  At 18:00 we had a meeting at their high school, in the auditorium, we were going to watch a film called Kingsman. Our hosts gave us junk food and we watched the movie, laughing, because of our comments, which was one of the best parts of the day. When it finished, we had a “mini party” there, we taught them some Spanish songs and we danced, enjoying every minute with those wonderful people, regardless of tiredness.

  At the end of the day, Alex’s family -my host- ordered some pizzas and Alina, the German girl who was also staying in his house, and I, decided to try some that weren’t familiar for us. I must emphasize how much I loved Greek food and how their desserts struck me the most, for being the sweetest thing I’ve ever tried.

The ones I miss the most

 Only left to say that because of these trips, I’m braver now, whenever it comes to public speaking. I have to thank this Erasmus for giving me this incredible experience, which I’ll never forget, and wonderful friendships.

LUXEMBOURG: Day 1 (Monday)

Imagen
LUXEMBOURG-DAY 1 The day started pretty well. When we arrived at the "lycée", we were taken into a room to have some photos taken for the public transport card. After that, we were into a meeting room in the high school, and then the teachers and the president of the CNA presented the project with Mikhail . After that quiet and calm moment, we did a pretty interesting tour around Luxembourg , seeing lots of beautiful buildings and the landscape. One thing that called my attention was the way that the old buildings were connected with the new style. Tips for the future traveller: bring warm clothes, trust me, it was like -10000ºC!!! After that exciting trip, we returned to the high school to meet the psychologist. Then and there  we were discussing and receiving information about  topics like pressure and depression, and we did some activities. 2 hours later, we were going back home to meet again our family, and to rest in order to be ready for the next day. ...

LUXEMBOURG: Day 3 (Wednesday)

LUXEMBOURG-DAY 3 This day was the most relaxing one, regarding the activities we did during the week. The luxembourgese group decided to plan a surprise trip, which finally consisted on going to France. An advantage that this small country has is that it allows us to go to another one in just two hours by bus. Once we arrived there, they took us to the Zoo d´Amnéville, where we learned new things about animals and some weird species took us by surprise.   Flamingos White wolves      This trip was really good and the best part was seeing how the seals practiced their show. However, I would have organised the students in another way, instead of letting them go wherever they wanted and with whoever they wanted, I would have made some groups, so the students could have met eachother easily. Finally, at 16:00, although some students went to Steinsel, the others t...
