Botond's Icelandic Expedition

-

 Post by Botond Bóta


I think there are so many things that foreigners can learn in Iceland. So if you want to gain some knowledge and see some beautiful scenery at the same time then you should come to Iceland so you can kill two birds with one stone.

 

The first thing is that Icelanders are really proud of their predecessors so if you come here you will definitely learn about the country's explorers and other important historical figures.

The second thing I learned is that a large part of the population believes in mythical beings such as trolls, elves and hidden people. Most people believe in them because they have actually met these creatures or have been told convincing stories by family members.

The third thing is that actually the Marvel movies and the Lord of the Rings books are based on a book written by an Icelandic author.


We visited many interesting and beautiful places recently but I liked Flyover Iceland the most. I had never experienced anything like it so it was very new to me. It was very realistic and I almost thought I was actually flying in the mountains and not just watching a screen.

The fake wind and rain totally made me believe that I was in the place that I saw, so I can say it was super realistic.

Finally I would like to thank you for allowing me to come to Iceland and meet friendly people and see breathtaking landscapes. I can now say that I have been here, which is something very few people in Europe can say.

  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.
