ALMOST A WEEK

Well one week ago, I was in Holland yet, enjoying each minute of my life in these lands. There's no day that I cannot think about all these wonderful exchange and all these great dutch people. In our school there're people sad yet and I'm included, but at the same time I think that we are lucky to have met this new culture and to have had a great time in another country. Anyway we all are trying to do another exchange in July or August wich I see it's difficult because when some people is abroad other is on a campus and such...it's complicated, anyway I have the hope that someday we'll meet again, I'm sure. :)

Thanks for your time,

your friend, Ariadna (Ari) :)

Bye!!!!

5th day in Holland!

Hii again darlings!

Well today I have had a relaxing day compared with other ones, because first we have got up later, and we had a bruch (breakfast and lunch together) and the we went sailing, it was amazing! I could see all the dutch nature and the tipical windmiles! It was fantastic. Afterwards we went to Calvin's party, which it was great too with music and some food but I didn't eat a lot because in one hour we had to leave, we were going to an Italian restaurant to have dinner! It was delicious, I love Italian food, and I love pasta! Now I'm writting to you and I think that it's the last time I will writting from Holland... I don't want this to finish,, really..I miss family but I don't want to leave! I think this night I won't can sleep, cause I will be thinking about it.

Well I will have to enjoy tomorrow the best I will can, it will be the last day!!

See you tomorrow!!!!

Good night!

4th day in Holland!

Hello!!
Well I'm going to explain what I did yesterday and why I couldn't write to you, first I went to the volleyball match of my exchange partner it was really good and they won! After we went home and had lunch and we had a shower. Then we went to Emmily's house and fisrt we did a barbacue and then it was followed by a party with music and such. It was nice! and we went back home late so this is why I couldn't write to you. Sorry!

3rd day in Holland!

Hello friends!!

Well I couldn't write you yesterday because I didn't have time...I woke up I wore my cllothes and I went to AMSTERDAM! It was really great, althought it's a city it's like a enormous village because the houses are sweet and they are not building as in Barcelona, there are a lot of waterways where you can go by boat, and thisis what we did after going first to the interesting Anna Frank's house, where we could see where she and her family slept, and also to The Rijk's museum, where we did some activities for our portfolio and we could observe and evaluate his paintings with paintings of other artirts. When we went back home, I had dinner, I had pancakes that they are like crêpes, with apple sirop, chocolate and whatever you want to put inside, it was delicious! I don't usually have crêpes for dinner in Barcelona, they can be eaten as a deserve not as a meal! Afterward I had a shower and I did my make-up because we went to Thom's house where it was planned to have a party, and so was. It was the most wonderful party I have never presencied, it was in his garden with some candles and a bonfire, music, friends...it was amazing. WE went to sleep at 1 oçlock which it wasn't good because the morning after we had to wake up very early, because Yvonne had to play her volleyball match. I will explain you what I have done today, but now I should go, I have to dress up for Emmely's party!

See you!!!! 

SEGON DIA A HOLANDA!

Hola seguidors!

Avui es el segon dia que estic aquí, a milers de quilòmetres de casa i tenint una de les experiències més meravelloses i impressionants que mai tindré. Holanda és molt bonica però cal anar amb compte amb les escales! Són tan petites i verticals, es pot caure més d'una vegada!

Doncs bé, avui m'he llevat a les 6:30 del matí  per ser-hi a les 8:30 del matí. Hem fet una classe d'holandès i algunes activitats manuals més, la pintura i el dibuix d'Europa i els seus steriotypes típics de cada país. Després hem tingut de"dinar", fins i tot he pensat que era un descans per prendre l'esmorzar, així que puc dir que l'hora més d'hora que mai he dinatés més o menys les 10:30. Després hem tingut classe d'educació física, ha estat molt divertida, llarga (gairebé 2 hores) i emocionant. Primer hem escalfat, i després hem fet un gimnàstica, hem fet un munt de figures aguantan-nos un de l'altre. Finalment, es podia triar un dels tres esports que el professor ha dit que podíem jugar. Eren: voleibol, bàsquet i dutchball. Ningú ha jugat a voleibol i gairebé tots han jugaa al dutchball, però com m'encanta el bàsquet, volia jugar,primer tenia una mica de vergonya, perquè jo era l'única noia que volia jugar a bàsquet, pero després, li he preguntat a la Maria, una amiga meva, si podia venir amb mi, i ho ha fet, després, m'ha abandonat amb els nens jugant a basket s'ha anat a jugar a dutchball. De tota manera no m'arrepenteixo d'haver triat el basketball perquè m'encanta!

La millor part d'avui ha estat la piscina,. Ha estat fantàstic! Tenia dues piscines grans i un altre de petita, per als nens. Hi havia també un jacuzzi i un tobogan d'aigua, ha estat molt divertit, gairebé ha vingut tota la classe.

Podria escriure dues pàgines senceres, però crec que és suficient per avui, així que m'he de despedir ara, demà més!

Bona nit a tots ... o com diuen aqui "Welterusten"!

SECOND DAY IN HOLLAND!

Hi followers!

So today has been the second day that I'm here, at thousands of kilometres of my house and having one of the most wonderful and impressive experiences I will never have. Holland is really beautiful but you have to take care with the stairs! They are so small and vertical, you can fall down more than once!

Well today we have get up at 6:30 a.m so we had to ride our bikes to school to be there at 8:30 in the morning. We have done a dutch class and some manual activities more, painting and drawing Europe and its typical steriotypes, of each country. Then we have had "lunch"even I thought it was a break to have breakfast, so I can say that the earliest hour I have never had lunch is at 10:30 more or less. Afterwards we had PE class, wich it was very funny, long (almost 2 hours) and exciting. First we had a warm-up, and after we did some gimnastics exercice, we did a lot of figures holding one each other. Finally we could choose one of the three sports that teacher said we could play. They were: volleyball, basketball and dutchball. Nobody played volleyball and almost all the people played dutch, but as I love basketball I wanted to play it, so first I was a little bit ashamed because I was the only girl who wanted to play basketball, then I asked to Maria, a friend of mine, if she could come with me, and she did it, even after she left me there with the boys playing basket and she went playing dutchball. Anyway I didn't mind because I enjoyed a lot the training, I love basketball!

The best part of today it has been the swimming pool, we have gone this evening. It was fantastic! It had two big pools and another one smaller, for kids. It had a jacuzzi too and a water slide, it was very funny, we went almost all the class with their respective dutch partners.

I could write two whole pages but I think it's enough for today, so I have to say goodbye right now, tomorrow will be more!

Good night everybody...or what it'said here "Welterusten"!!!

PRIMER DIA A HOLANDA!

Hola a tots!
Porto notícies noves i sorprenents! Estic escrivint des d'Holanda! No m'ho puc creure encara ... estic com dins d'un somni!

Avui m'he despertat a les 3h perquè havíem d'agafar el vol a les 6:45 així que em tingut de estar d'hora a l'escola. De tota manera l'emoció ha guanyat el cansament i ha estat un gran dia. En primer lloc hem buscat la nostra parella d'intercanvi, ens hem abracat, saludat  i ens em dit com ens hem trobat a faltar i aquestes coses. Després hem fet algunes activitats per saber més sobre la nostra parella i, finalment, hem anat a veure a la nostra nova casa en aquests 5 dies aquí. La casa és molt gran, agradable i encantadora! M'encanta el jardí i totes les habitacions en general! Després hem anat a l'entreno de voleibol, ha estat esgotador però molt divertit, ja sé jugar a voleibol! I finalment hem arribat a casa i hem anat a sopar, un munt, per cert!

Espero que aquests dies aquí siguin increïbles, i estic segura que ho seran! T'escriure dema, ara me'n vaig a dormir, necessito descansar una mica!

BONA NIT!
