DAY 3-6

23/01/24 - 26/01/24 This week has been very interesting; I've really enjoyed seeing the way they learn in Germany. The way classes are taught is very different, like their duration, which is almost twice as long as classes in Spain. They also have more subjects but fewer times per week. This is because they have separate subjects that we combine, such as geography and history or physics and chemistry. I also believe they have less homework, but unlike us, they have to study more daily because they have small oral exams in most subjects, like Spanish in which, for example, they have to describe a photograph, and each day a different person is assigned to provide the description. This week, in the afternoons, I've been talking and getting to know Helen. We've also played some games like kiker and Monopoly. I've also attended a volleyball training session this week, and I really enjoyed it. I think I'm going to go back next week.

DAY 8

28/01/24 Today, after breakfast, we got ready and went to the Andechs Monastery . It was about a 45-minute walk from the house, through the mountains, and it was truly beautiful.   Along the way, I got to see nature, and the views were stunning; you could see the lake and the entire village. And, when we reached the top, before entering the monastery, we stopped at a viewpoint where we could see the landscape and the highest mountain in Germany called "Zugspitze". It was very beautiful.   Then, we went inside to see the monastery, and it was very colorful; I liked it a lot. After spending some time inside, we went to eat. In the same place, there's a restaurant, with typical food from this region of Germany. Everything was delicious. This week, I've been trying new and very tasty dishes. After eating, we walked back.

DAY 2

22/01/24  Our first day at school, we woke up at 6:20 to catch the 7:25 train that takes us from Herrsching to Gilching, the town where the school is located.  TRAIN ROUTE After two classes, Doris, the Erasmus program coordinator, introduced us to the principal. After a short conversation, we went to a classroom to ask Doris some questions about the schedules. Later, our classmates, who had been here for a few days showed us around the school and the different modules.   After the break we had our first Spanish class, it was very interesting knowing how they learn our language and the teacher also talked with us. They are learning about Andalucía.  The wake-up and bedtime hours are very different, and the mealtimes are also different. I really enjoyed the food I've had.   We also spent some time chatting before going to sleep.

DAY 35

24 /02/24 Today , is the last day , or rather , the last hours here . We woke up early , packed our bags into the car, and headed to the airport . During the journey , I reflect on the wonderful experience I've had . I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent this month in Germany with amazing people like Helen and her circle . I'm deeply grateful for the warmth and kindness I've received from both family and friends , as well as the school community , but it's time to say googbye .   When   we arrived at the airport , we say goodbye to Helen's mother , check in our luggage , and wait for boarding . We board a bus that takes us from the airport to the plane, we embark , and after 2 hours , we're already in Spain . We collect our bags and take a bus to the Bus Station where we eat and wait for the last bus, Bilbao-Logroño. After a couple of hours , we arrive in Logr...
