The international week

This week was the international week. So we met students from other countries: João and José from Portugal, Marije from the Netherlands, Bianca and Yasmin from Austria and Sabrina, Sarah and Melanie from Germany but also girls from Denmark.

On Monday we learned to know each other first before having a course about body language and a Danish lesson. Then we ate together at school in the evening. We talked about many topics such as ourselves, our hobbies, the school system in our countries, ... Daniel, Tim and I also went to our football practice with João and José from 8.45 pm to 10 pm. It was really funny! ;-)

On Tuesday we had a lesson about a few stereotypes linked to the countries we're from. My group had to represent Portugal as you can see. It was really nice! Then we had a lesson about rhymes and songs. We sang and played together. In the afternoon we went to Ribe in order to visit a museum, see the sea and walk into town. It was cool except for the weather... :-(

On Wednesday I had to go on a school visit with Tim but the teacher's child was ill. So we stayed at school relaxing a bit. ;-) We ahd then a discussion with the other students about what we observed during the morning. It was rewarding! The hip hop lesson was also cancelled because the teacher was ill, too. So we finished earlier. In the evening I went to the football practice with Daniel and Tim. We had good time playing in the rain. :D

On Thursday we followed a lecture about "Vienna" and books and sounds landscapes. It was quite interesting. The afternoon was devoted to the "International Day". We (erasmus students and other students from Europe) showed to Danish students and teachers what we are doing here in denmark: portfolio, lessons, weblogs, visits, ... We also let people taste some typical food from our countries. Delicious! ;-) We also drank 2 strong alcohols (one was 54% and the other one about 40%).

In the evening, we went to the "Friday Café" to eat pizza's and sing for the Eurovision contest. Tim and I loved a lot the 2 Portuguese guys (João and José) and their rap! We made flags to support them. But the 3 girls from the Czech Republic had a good song with a nice choreography. Congratulations! Kate, you're the best one! ;-) Then we went to "Tribunen" and the "Craizy Daisy"... It was perfect! There were a lot of people, we danced and laughed (and drank?) a lot. :D

Today we are going to finish our portfolio, discuss about the whole week and have a lunch together. :-) Then, I'll leave tonight for a few days to Belgium... ;-( But as a conclusion, I can say that the week was really exciting: I made new friends, met people from other countries and cultures, had fun, learned a lot (differences between Belgium and other countries: school system, culture, way of life, ...), ... I hope we'll keep contact! If you want to come to Belgium, you're the most welcome!!! :-)
