Visiting Hungary

 A post by Júlían Breki Elentínusson

In my trip to Hungary I learned alot about Hungarian culture, literature and history. The trip started with a very long flight from Iceland and when we finally arrived we immediately went home to sleep cause everyone was really tired. Later in the evening we went and watched Csenge sing at a restaurant, then we went to a party with some Hungarian kids. The next day was our last day before the program started so we went to some type of zoo and checked out the animals and then we went and ate together pizza at Csenge’s house. 

On Monday the program started and on our first day we went to Budapest and visited a castle, the parliament and Hero’s square. They told us all about the interesting history of Hungary. On Tuesday we got a tour from Norbert in the school and in Eger and once he finished we did a scavenger hunt which was one of the most fun things we did in the whole trip. Wednesday started pretty similar because we stayed in the school and learned how to make gulyàs and after that we visited the university in Eger where they had tons of interesting rooms. 

On Thursday we took the train to go hiking in a town nearby and check out the smallest waterfall that I have ever seen. On the last day of the program we took a quick walk to a castle in Eger where the Hungarians held the Turks back. Overall, I’d say that this trip was really fascinating and fun, I will definitely be visiting Hungary again in the future.

  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.
