Frozen Dreams: Anna's Icelandic Adventure

-

 A post by Anna Kinga Bolcsó

In this week I visited Iceland with an Erasmus+ program which will be always stays in my heart like one of my favourite holiday.

I learned about the Icelandic culture, about the people who think elves are exist and I learned about the Icelandic history, about the sagas and Vikings.

I truly believe we had many interesting activities but my favourite ones were when we were in Reykjavík by ourselves on Tuesday and the Flyover on Thursday. I admired the view from the bus the whole trip. I loved the walk on Wednesday. This island looks like a different world.

I and my host went every evening to driving and talking to know each other better. He showed me some Icelandic music and now those are my favourites. We also told stories about ourselves and we were laughing so hard when one of us said something funny. He is a talented driver I guess. We made a great friendship.

The Hungarians and the Icelanders spent almost every night together somewhere and these were great activities. We played billiard, foosball and table tennis. We also went to an ice-cream seller place once.

I liked the Icelandic teachers they were so kind every time even when we were late almost every morning. They made for us the best programs and they took us riding horses also. It was fun until my host allergic reaction. I am so thankful for Kristjana and Lilja.

I am very disappointed that we couldn't saw the Northern Lights. I am still crossing my fingers that we might see it in this 2 evenings.

Overall, I do not want to go home yet but I know we will meet each other in April. We are waiting for you in Hungary.

  1.Accessories The combs are interesting because in those years it was not very important to comb your hair, they found three in a grave. They also found two armbands in the same grave and four decorations buttons These are displayed in the museum because these combs are from a time in which those who had access to the combs were considered high-powered people with a series of privileges that the rest did not have     2. Utensils for preparing food Excavations revealed remains of some dairy products, a milk curd that remains a staple food today. They also found a cooking pot made of stone, two stories and a large stone with a hole in the center. This was placed on the fire and was used to cook the food that was placed on top. They used shells as spoons and scrapers. This is in the museum so that new generations can see the utensils that they used to have for cooking.     3. Brooches They used clover-shaped brooches to hold the clot...

First days in Orihuela

 First blog by Amelia Zarebska We landed in Alicante at 20:00 and had a lot of fun on the airplane. We slept well and played Uno. When we arrived in Orihuela, we went to our family's place which made me a little anxious but very excited. They were all really sweet. When we arrived home, we had dinner and went to sleep.   On the first full day, we went to Alicante. Everyone arrived early except me and Ariandna because we woke up late, so we drove straight to the mall to meet up with the rest of the group. It was very nice to meet everyone.   On Monday, we arrived at school at 8:00. We were welcomed by the school and split into two groups. We had to do some exercises together, the funniest one was when we had to make an animal sound - how it sounds in Spain vs in Iceland. After that, we got a tour of the school and we were all very surprised by how big the school is.   Then, we took a bus to the MUDIC museum. We got a tour of the museum and Jorge translated...

Visiting Spain

 First blog by Victoria Silja Antolek Today I learnt a lot about Spanish culture and differences in between Iceland and Spain. Today we started the day by having some activities in groups where we got to know each other, and then we got to see the school. The school was really big and it was both outside and inside which is much different than Iceland. Then we went to a museum, and it was fun to see. My favourite part was the room with the mirrors. After this we had some free time, so we went to the mall in Orihuela and just walked around, and that was my favourite part. And the last thing today was watching the planets from the telescope, it was really amazing to see the planets.
