👪 TO SUM UP... 👪 conclusion

It has been my first trip traveling abroad and one of the best experiences in my life!!! I would never have thought that this trip to Poland would be so satisfactory. Our classmates who had travelled to Germany for the first meeting left high expectations for it. However, the meeting in Poland has more than lived up to my expectations.
These kinds of experiences make you improve on many aspects. The one I consider is the most important is learning how to develop in a foreign country alone. At first, it is hard as you don't know anything about the family who is hosting you and you have no confidence to move freely around the house.
However, once you have moved from that phase, everything is OK and you finally feel comfortable.
Another point to take in account is improving your English level. These kinds of experiences lead you to think in English instead of thinking in Spanish and then translate it to English.
Overall, it is a great opportunity to develop lots of aspects in your life. It is a trip that you will always remember!!!

💃 8th JUNE: LAST DAY 💃

Friday, 8th June.
Our meeting in Poland was going to finish soon!! That morning, we worked pretty hard in order to make the final event perfect. Once everything was prepared for the play, we sat down and kept quite... the final event was going to start!!
The moderators began the speech summarizing our week in Radom. They described it as an intensive unforgettable experience. Everyone had taken part in the project in their own way so we were all really proud of the final result.
After the introduction, a Polish student went over all we had done since we had arrived in Poland. That made us feel a bit sad because we realized that this incredible week was finishing. 
Then, each of us was given a folder and a pencil case as a gift from the Polish team. It was a nice detail!!

Some minutes later, Romeo & Juliet's play began. The students who played as Romeo wore a hat and the students who played Juliet role wore a shawl.
The scene in the balcony was nail-biting, I really liked it!!
To sum up, all the people involved in the project were thanked for that amazing experience.

Once the play was finished, we did a farewell activity. It consisted of holding a paper sheet at our backs so that the other students could write down an adjective describing us. That was an unforgettable moment because once the activity was finished, we read all the good things people had written about us and started crying.
 I loved that activity!! And I loved those people!!

After school, we went to Kazimierz Dolny, which was a town near Radom, where we had dinner as if we were soldiers in the army. We ate some paté, boiled eggs and bread. We also had some cherry cake and chips. 
Then, we went to the town centre where we were given some free time. One hour later, we were leaving Kazimierz Dolny to got in Radom again.
We were all pretty tired but as it was our last day together, we tried not to fall asleep in order to have great fun!!!

💞 7th JUNE: PARTY DAY 💞

Thursday, 7th June.
The end of the meeting in Poland was coming. We needed to finish our calendar and start preparing the final event. That morning, we worked really hard on the calendar in order to finish it in 3 hours. In the end, we were all finished and joined all the months of the year together. The result was great!!
The following picture shows my team's work. We were in charge of designing MARCH.

After that activity, we started planning the final event. It consisted of dividing he students into 4 groups:

• ACTORS: Romeo & Juliet play was going to be played. Six students from each team (Polish, German and Spanish) had to represent the balcony scene in the final event. There were 8 people who played Juliet role and another 8 students who played Romeo role. 

• DECORATION AND SOUND TASK: Five guys were in charge of preparing the stage and controlling the sound task for the play. The whole gym was decorated with posters and decorations.

• MAKE_UP AND COSTUMES ARTISTS: Ten students were chosen to design Romeo & Juliet's costumes. Then, some make-up for Juliet had to be designed. I took part in that activity. It was great because my work-team was pretty nice and had amazing ideas!!

• MODERATORS: One student from each team was chosen to be a moderator in the final event. Those 3 people had to make up a speech introducing the different parts of the event.

  Once school had finished, we went to our houses to prepare ourselves for the final party. Lucja's parents owned a established hotel in Radom since some years ago. They decided to prepare a farewell party there in order to keep a special memory of the meeting. Lucja's parents were really nice with us!!
  At the hotel, there was a huge air mattress where we jumped and had great fun. There was also a large table with loads of Polish, German and Spanish traditional food. Everything was perfect!!
  Moreover, a Polish teacher in the exchange loved dancing so she taught us how to dance some Polish songs!!
  I will never forget that day!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

💟 6th JUNE: TRIP-DAY 💟

Wednesday, 6th June.That day, we woke up at 5.30h in the morning because the bus which was taking us to Warsaw left at 6.30h. It took 2 hours to arrive in the Polish capital city because of the heavy traffic.
Once we had arrived at our destination, we visited WARSAW OPERA which is the 3rd largest opera in the world!!! 
We went on a guide tour all around the building and were showed some workshops where they make the decoration stuff, the stage, the sound-control place and every corner in the opera.
It was amazing! I had never seen such an incredible place!

After that amazing tour, we walked along Warsaw's streets and were given some free time. Then, we had lunch in a traditional restaurant in the city centre. We ate some Pierogi, which is a Polish traditional dish made of pasta and beef. It was delicious!!
I really liked Polish capital city, Warsaw. Its streets were pretty beautiful and different from streets in Spain. Furthermore, the weather was really nice so we had great fun that day.
