GERMAN ECHANGE 2019:
AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
It has been a really good experience for us. I
recommend it to everyone. Personally, I get
along very well with my exchange partner
and now we are friends. Of course, when we
met it was a bit difficult because we didn’t
know about what we could speak, but soon
we started speaking and living different
experiences together and now, we are very
good friends.
It’s very interesting and funny seeing that
something that is usual for you is very
strange for another person; customs such
as kissing, buying “normal water” or foods
such as “pà amb tomàquet”, prawns…
On Thursday 19th September, a group of
17 students from Norf, Düsseldorf, stayed
in Montbui for nine days which have been
extraordinary:
We met a lot of people and I made new
friends. Not only did we meet our exchange
partner but we also got to know the other
members of the group. We went on lots of
excursions (Sitges, Barcelona, la Tossa…)
and we did lots of activities such as “Bitlles
Catalanes”, “Sardanes”, “La Tossa” where
some of us explained things to them, and 2
“Treasure Hunts” in Igualada and Montbui.
We also saw Moixiganguers in action on
Friday night, which the German group found
breathtaking. All this was done so that they
could know a bit about where we live, our
culture and traditions.
In Barcelona we visited La Pedrera to enjoy
this Modernist building by Gaudí. In Sitges
we also discovered many Modernist homes
with the treasure hunt and we also learnt
about our unique cava in Caves Codorníu,
enjoying a picnic on the beach at midday,
near Sitges church.
We haven’t been to Germany yet but , we are
going in March next year. I am really very
excited about it, and wishing to learn more
things about a new culture.
