My experience in Spain!

April the 5^th, is for me an important day:

My first time by plane, my firt time in Spain, my first contact with another culture.

I have been lucky to partecipate to “PROJECT COMENIUS” a project whose aim is to get in touch with young people coming from different countries,and different cultures.

Pilar, my friend, has welcomed  me in a very friendly way in her house in Ciudad Real.

In those days, I had lot of fun.

I got in touch with the Spanish culture, expecially with the Spanish cuisine ( I LIKE IT!) and I was very surprised to find the streets and the school  very clean.

I noticed, that during the class, there was respect towards the teacher,who is surrounded by silence!!

Pilar’s family was very nice with me and I’m looking foward to meeting my Spanish friend in December.

It was a wonderful experience,which opened my mind on  another culture.

My journey to Spain has been fantastic.

Before leaving, the wish to fly and to stay with a Spanish family got me scared.

The first day I was there I was not familiar with my Spanish friend Sandra and I felt a little embarassed.

But Italian and Spanish languages are similar so we could understand each other.

Their way of living is a little different from ours.

They go to work at a quarter to nine and they come back home at a quarter to three.

They have dinner very late, about eleven o' clock.

I have noticed that Italian food is better than Spanish food, but the latter is very good.

My favourite Spanish food was paella. It is a mixture of shrimps, meat and rice.

It's very good!

Sandra explained me that in Spain a lot of regions don't accept corridas.

Sandra and her friends were “anti-taurista”.

The most incredible thing I saw there is that there were huge parks with very big fountains.

Sandra was very nice and kind to me.

At any time she and her mom asked me if I needed something.

In the morning we used to go to school. I suppose her school is bigger than mine.

The rules of her school are different from ours.

There students have to change classrooms according to the subject they have; on the countrary, in my school teachers change classrooms at the end of each lesson hour.

I was very well in Spain and I hope I'll go there again.

My journey to Spain has been great I had fun and I’m very happy of this experience.                                    The travel by plane was a cool experience, but the staying in Spain was the best!                                   In the first day I was there, I was embarrassed, but after few hours from my arriving I understood that Esther and her family were nice and very friendly like each person that I met there.           Spanish food was delicious and I tasted a bit of everything but “tortilla de patatas” an “paella” were the best!                                                                                                                                                          The way of life of Spanish people is similar to ours, only the school: the structure and the rules are very different.                                                                                                                                                            It was a fantastic stay and I hope, indeed, I wish to go back again because I felt very well with all!
