Dear friends. Here we present the first excerpts from our last task. Enjoy!
People think German persons are quiet and serious but that isn´t true for all persons. The teenagers I met are funny and talk a lot. Between German and Spanish students there are a lot of differences and when German teenagers come to Spain that is very strange for them. In Spain the people usually wash her hair two or three times in a week but I learnt German people wash her hair all days. In Spain we sometimes eat alone and we don´t wait for the rest of the family but in Germany all the family eat together. In Germany they don´t go out very late and they go to bed very early. They eat earlier than Spanish people too, I wonder why...so I expect to learn all of that when being there.

At first, I thought our guests were going to be too shy, with clear-color skin and all blondes.
Afterwards, I discovered that they were really very quiet and shy, but after the second day we all were hanging around like all-life friends. Regarding the physical aspect, just some of the German students were blond, the greatest part of them were brown like the Spanish guys.
I was surprised by these two things: the quietly they spoke and the amount of bread they liked to have in meals.
Juan Carlos Colmenero – 3d course
My German friend Fabian told me that he liked every kind of food, but after a few days he soon preferred to have our “croquetas” and “paella”, he also liked a lot the ice-creams. My family and I are very happy after Fabian´s visit; I think he has liked it too. I just feel sad because it was too short and there were many things I couldn´t show him, but now I´m waiting very excited to know his town and family too!.
Candido García – 3d course
I liked how easy it was for us to stay in touch before the visit and share all kind of comments about everyday life, telling jokes…now I´m surprised we were communicating in English all time, and I find it very interesting about the project.
My partner Peter is a pizza fan, but after his visit at home, he liked very much our typical meals: “tortilla”, “cocido”, “paella” and “torrijas”, he even made photos of them. The meeting days were very fun for all Comenius students, we enjoyed a lot and it was a unique opportunity to make friends from many countries.
Carlos Matas – 3d course
Having a German girl at home was a nice experience because I learnt some things about her culture. One of the greatest moments was meeting all students and show them our city, Ciudad Real.
We had a funny time one day walking in the city when we saw a man with a “botijo” (a typical object made out of clay, to keep water fresh) we asked him to try and drink, and everybody were looking at us. There were only four days so we couldn´t do many things, but our partner students were really friendly and I want to see them again soon.
Sara Ibañez – 3d course
It is a wonderful, amazing and unique experience. An opportunity to meet people from other countries and to learn about their culture. An experience with many different feelings: first the uncertainly about how your partner who will live with you and your family is, then the enjoyment and fun of some fantastic days surrounded of amazing people and then the sadness at the end of those days that you will always remember and the big smile to have met those people who are now part of your life.
