My experience with Comenius

When we first had decided that we wanted to be a part of the Comenius, it was then all the hard work started. We had to do a lot of work, both in and out of school. But we knew that it was going to be worth it. I think that the assignments that we got was kind of boring, but in the same time I learned a lot. When the katalan students were here in Vastervik, we did a lot of fun stuff. For example; we took a boat to Hasselo and spend a hole day there, that was fun. To have a person that is a complete stranger in your house that can be tuff. It's not only because you don't know the person, it's because your family usually have rutins that can be hard to change and also the person that comes to live with you have rutins so it can be hard for him or her to adapt to the family rutins aswell. But I think that if everyone are openminded there should be no problem. The experience of when the katalan students were here was incredible, it's not usual that you have the opportunity to meet other persons from a different country, that speak a different language and have other rutins. You can learn a lot from that, just to meet with these other human beings who's a lot different from what we're used to. When we came to Spain, the first moment when we walked down the pair of stairs from the airplane and the sun hit our faces, I think that everyone though that this was going to be the most wonderful experience of their lifes. And I think that it might has been just that, because it has been such a good and funny (and learning) time in spain and through all the time that we have been working with this project. In Spain we have done a lot of things, for one example we went to Barcelona for one day and it was amazing. I though that berga was much different from Vastervik, and it is, but Barcelona is even more different. It's a hole other experience to visit a small town than a big city, but to be in a big city is much more difficult, because there's so much more going on there and to keep track of 33 young students there must be so much harder. It's hard to explain how you feel about the hole thing when you're not so sure what more you think of it then that it's amazing. But one thing that I can be sure of is that I will remember this experience for the rest of my life.
That was all from me. Adios, Goodbay, Adeo and Hej dá...
