sixth day - Lefteris C.' entry

On the sixth day we went on a tour at Bonn city. We all met at the central train station at Bonn, and we began our tour from the museum of German history. At the museum, we saw some exhibits that are very important for German people. We learned about the history of Germany from the beginning of the 20th Century until the accession of the country in the European Union. After our visit to the museum, we went to the University of Bonn. This huge building can hold 20,000 students every year. It was built in 1818 and it’s a University for Science. Then we went in front of Beethoven's statue. We didn’t know that Beethoven's city was Bonn, so we were surprised when we learned that. When we finished our tour we went shopping at the centre of the city. There were so many shops at the shopping district that we didn’t know where to start!!!! After shopping, we went home to get some rest. At night we went bowling...we had a lot of fun there! It was our last night in Germany so we were all very sad.

fifth day 12/03/09

Maria E.'s entry:













We woke up and went to school by train(still the coolest thing :-)). There we did some really cool sports. Basically we were trying them out to see if they were safe enough for small children to play. Then we went to class and we had a lesson on how we could do sports with blind people...
After that we went back to the gym and danced! They taught us their version of "Sirtaki" and then we taught us ours...Then the German students went for a swimming lesson and we went for lunch with our teachers.
At night we all went to one of the host student's houses and we ate spaghetti bolognese! We had lots of fun, talked and played darts.
Another fun day!!!! :-P

fourth day 11/03/2009

third day 10/03/09

Demetra's entry:











On the third day we did sports activities and played ball games to get to know each other. Then we watched a presentation from the Spanish teachers and students. And when it finished the German students performed lots of different dances which were really cool! Then, we performed some Greek traditional dances and they loved them so we brought all of them so we could dance together. It was really fun! When school had finished the German students took us to their shopping center..I was shocked! I had never seen so many shops , and as we got hungry we sat at megus (Mc Donald’s – that’s what they call it). We took another long walk and then we took trains and buses to go home. Of course our day didn’t finish there..We went to Anjas house where Maria was hosted and we had pizza... we were singing and laughing! It was brilliant. Then we walked to the big shop of HARIBO !It's huge,full of sweets! After that,we went to a café to relax and since it was getting late we said to call it a day, so we went home.

second day 09/03/09

Day of arrival 08/03/2009

Maria E.'s entry:
day of arrival!!!!!!!!!!
we arrived round about 10 o'clock at night and we went our seperate ways....
when I got to my host family's house, I met all the family(except Anne's little sister who was asleep) and they gave me a tour of the house....
Anne and I went on the computer and she showed me some videos she made with her friends(they were very funny :-)) and we also listened to some of her favourite songs...they were really cool!
Then we went to bed...we were exhausted!!!!!

Katerina's entry:
The day of our arrival I was worried about what I was going to meet. When we arrived at the airport and first met our hosts I was suprised by the huuuge hug Mona(my host) gave me.. She really made me feel like I knew her for years and relieved in a way..
When I got on my host family's house I met her family (I loved her 2 older sisters from the first moment)... We went to bed early because we were both exhausted!!!
