<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The night between 24th and 25th of October was
going to be our last night at the hotel and we knew that. We all felt that we
had to enjoy this last night, so we started playing FIFA. But not normal
football games, if your opponent scored you a goal, you had to drink some nose medicine… On the first
game, Kevin (an Austrian boy) and I<span style="color: #00b050;"> </span> won Henrik, so he drank it. After his reaction
we decided to stop that game, it didn’t look really tasty. We had other
adventures related with: McDonald’s, showers, chocolate shops, mixing Mentos
and CocaCola, but I’d better tell you more when I am back in Spain… My mother
could read this blog! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we did it on time and we had our first activity of the day: visiting a really
modern university. At first, we went into a really cool big building that
looked like the university… but it was just a library! After this visit I can
say that the education system in Austria looks really good (my high-school has
made me think the same).I show you here a picture of that </span>building.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /> After visiting all the university buildings we had
lunch and then we went to a synagogue, a Jewish church. At the entrance we were
given the typical small black hat that they wear at church. The building was
really big and the architecture was very cool, but the guide spoke in German
and I was very tired because of the previous night, so I fell asleep in the
church. Then we went to the train station and we took the train home. During
the two hour trip we felt hungry and we had a funny idea to solve that problem.
At the train station there were people giving free “Mediterranean rice” that
you only have to put in the microwave for a few minutes and it is ready to eat,
so we decided to ask the man of the cafeteria if we could use their microwave oven. After insisting for some minutes, we finally
convinced him. The train trip was cool and I must say that although that rice
wasn’t as good as Spanish paella it was good too. Finally, we arrived home but
the story doesn’t end here. We had been invited to a school party and we
decided to go. We thought it was going to be a boring party because it was
organized by a school, but surprisingly it was a good party. There were funny
performances by the students, places to eat and drink and a cool disco. I met a
lot of people there, and a lot of them were learning Spanish, so I think that I
could win a lot of money if I became Spanish teacher here.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Well, there have been lots of fun in these
three days away but they have been hard too, so now I am going to sleep, I need
to rest! Good night!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The school trip is probably one of the best
experiences in our school life and I was really lucky because I could enjoy a
three day school trip to Viena, the capital city of Austria. I was really
excited about it and I got to train station two hours before the train arrived.
The train trip took us one hour and a half but it wasn’t long for me because we
had lots of fun on the train. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">When we reached our destination we had lunch at a shopping center and then we went to
the hotel. I shared a room with five students and it was really cool because as
you can imagine six friends in a room with an Xbox and games like FIFA and Call
of Duty can’t be bad! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was in German, for me it was a cool siesta. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

activities that we have done so far. It was a circuit without any lights, so it
simulated that you were a blind person (they gave us the walking stick blind
people use). It was very interesting and difficult because the guide (a real
blind person) gave all the instructions in German. Our next activity was
visiting a really cool and luxurious castle-museum, like the Selgas Palace but
multiplied by ten. As a funny anecdote, I really appreciated that you are given
a chair when you enter the museum so all that pain that you feel in your feet when
visiting a museum does not exist there! An
amusement park was our next stop. As people that came to Barcelona last year
know, I really “feel” roaller-coasters (I shout a lot) and here it wasn’t
different. We only had time to go into one, but it was amazing. On this second
and last night a lot of things happened, but I’d prefer to tell you about them
when I am back in Spain… Sure you will be impatient! The last day of the trip
will be in the next blog, there are a lot of things to tell and I prefer it this
way. The pictures are from the parlament and the castle-museum respectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

food of a country that you visit is obligatory. Because of this, the other two
exchange students and I had an activity on Thursday that consisted in going to a restaurant to taste some typical
food. I ate a burger that had, meat, eggs, bacon, lettuce, and a special sauce
that is typical of Austria, that makes the burger very special and different.
The “funny” anecdote happened at the end of the lunch. The waiter of the
restaurant, (who had been very friendly with us and had told me that he used
Spanish to impress the girls) brought us a really hot chillli and he said that
if any of us could eat it he would give us free drinks. Nöel (the Belgian guy) and
I decided to play a game of “Rock, paper or scissors” and agreed that the loser
would eat the chilli. Unfortunately, I was the loser! I had to eat the chilli
and it was really hard, I was drinking water at the bathroom for thirty minutes
after that… but I won the free drinks! Obviously, I chose milk as my free
drink, I need it to stop the flavour of the chilli. I add here a funny picture of me and Henrik after eat so much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we went to a kind of zoo that had a lot of types of birds and rabbits. There
were from pigeons to tropical birds, and I remember that I saw a bird really
similar to the capercaillie, that bird that is in danger of extinction an it is
almost only found in Asturias. In the rabbit section, there were some seven kg.
rabbits, that looked almost like dogs. For me the coolest ones were the smaller
ones, and Anna (my host-sister) thought the same so… she bought one! It is a
small black and white rabbit that is called David. Some judges valued and
scored the animals and David was one of the bests. Then we ate there. Here was a restaurant there that is totally
eco-friendly and only serves organic food with products from their farm. It was
a really cool healthy lunch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">On my third week I was completely used to my
new life here and I had a lot of interesting activities to do. First I must
tell you a strange anecdote that I lived on Sunday. I went to an enormous
supermarket in Linz, but the curious thing was that an extreme right- wing
politician (racist and almost a nazi according to my friends) was making a speech
there. It was a bit scary to see all those people listening to that man saying
that he wanted people who are not Austrian out of Austria… Well, better to start
with the funny anecdotes now, I know you prefer them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> On
Thursday we had a class called “German for beginners”. At this class we learn
German doing ordinary activities out of the class. For example, in this first
class we went to Linz to play Laser Tag and go shopping. We visited the big shopping
center (the same I had visited on Sunday) and then we went to a Haribo big
shop. All products there were made of Haribo.
At first, I thought that some products were free and I started to eat
them at the shop… Don’t get me wrong! I swear I hadn’t seen the prices on the
products! Then we went to play Laser Tag, a game that has two teams, your
objective is to shoot the people of the other team with your laser gun. It was
an amazing game but it is really intense so we finished the game very tired. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">I must say that the first games I played pretty
badly and I almost had negative score because I shot people of my own team… but
then I improved my level and I understood the game better, so I became a “good”
player. On Friday we (my host family, me and the other exchange students, Henrick and Nö</span></div>

el) went to an ice-hockey match, between the Black Wings (the team
that we supported because they are from Linz) and the Red Bull Salzburg, one of
the best teams in Austria. The match was amazing, historic, wonderful,
magical…. The match had three parts of 20 minutes and it started very aggressively
and crazy (some fights between players, kicks and a lot of hits) but without
goals. In the second part our team (Black Wings) scored two goals and we started
to think it was going to be an easy win, but Salzburg scored at the start of the
third part… and they scored another goal when there were only 60 seconds of
match left. But our hope didn’t disappear and… our team scored in the last ten
seconds an amazing goal and we won! The stadium was full of people, so with
that goal all the Black Wings supporters exploded with happiness and I felt the
stadium literally shaking. Both experiences were very funny, but this doesn’t
end here, I still have five weeks more here so I will live, and of course tell
you, many other adventures.<o:p></o:p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06534412681785652801noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021360891664873935.post-29887664425140513542017-10-10T02:28:00.002-07:002017-10-10T02:28:27.257-07:00<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-US">I woke up at 6:00, but I was feeling energetic because
it was going to be my first school day in Austria. Isabelle (my Austrian
mother) drove me to the school, HTL Perg, a big modern school. First of all I
met the other two foreign students, Henrick, from Sweden, and Noel, from
Belgium. Then Mrs. Danner, our tutor, introduced us to the classroom and we
played some funny games to get to know each other better. This day I was at
school just for four hours, so we didn’t do much more. That afternoon Isabelle
and I took Hellios (the family’s dog) for a walk along the Danube bank. I ended
the day playing a ludo game with the whole family. The ludo was one of the
presents that I took them from Spain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Education. The teacher let us select what sport we wanted to do, I (as a good Spanish)
chose football! I know that you don’t want to hear more about lessons and you
want to read my adventures at the weekend, so there we go! On Friday,
Sebastian, two of his friends (Niklas and Thomas) and I went to Linz to paint
graffiti. On the way to the wall that we were going to use (a wall builded to
paint graffiti over it) we saw an incredible graffiti by a famous artist who
painted the faces of some famous rappers, it looks like a photo! I had never
painted graffiti before, so I enjoyed my first time a lot! I am not very good,
but they said that being my first time my graffiti wasn’t too bad. They painted
a big graffiti that was very cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

different from my visit to Linz. We went to Mauthausen, one of the biggest nazi
concentration camps. It is very near our house and it is certainly not a funny
visit, but it is history and it is important to see and remember what happened
there. We chose a good day to go there because, at the same moment, Spain was
living difficult moments and a lot of violence because of the Catalan
referendum and in Mauthausen, where a lot of Catalans and Spanish republicans
died, there were a lot of Catalan and republican flags.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB">Travelling to another
country with a suitcase for two months isn´t easy,so
this blog post is going to be about my
travel from Asturias to my new home in Austria. My mother came with me
to the airport of Asturias to catch the first flight to
Madrid. It isn’t an enormous airport so
it wasn’t difficult to find it.
The only problem was that my suitcase weighed weighed
30 kg (two months of your life into a
suitcase isn’t easy…), and the maximum was 23 kg, but we divided
my baggage into two suitcases. As an anecdote, at
the boarding room I was seated next to the Auryn
Singer, I don’t like his music much, but it was a
funny moment. The first flight was short (one hour
more or less) and</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;">I arrived in Madrid at 14:15. Madrid airport is one of
the biggest in Europe, but (to my surprise)I didn´t get lost and
I could catch my plane on time. This second
flight had some problems: the
first problem was an enormous man seated next to
me, I couldn’t see anything apart from his belly!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">Then the flight got
delayed.
The last problem was that the man who was seated behind
me didn’t like planes much and he was very nervous so he
was always talking a bit loud, almost shouting and it was a
bit stressful. I arrived at Viena airport and after a long
time waiting for my suitcases finally I met part of my new family.
Isabelle and Tobias were waiting for me there. It took
us one hour and a half to drive from Viena
to their house. It was a
funny travel talking about ourselves and things about Spain and
Austria. We arrived at their house very late so
their three children were tired (the same as me) and sleeping. I
met them better the next day. Their names are
Sebastian (16 years old), Anna (14 years old) and Jonas (12
years old). It has been a hard experience, (I am
writing this on Sunday and I’m still tired) but I
think this experience in Ausria
is going to be good for me. On Monday,
25th, I am going to start to attend HTL Perg, my new
high school! I am going to inform you about my
Austrian experience on this blog, so see you soon!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
