Today we went by plane to Spain and we were going to fly from Schiphol. I thought it was very exciting because I had never flown before, but afterwards it was really boring because there was actually very little happening. When we landed in Seville it was already dark there and we had to go with our host family. First we went out for dinner and then we went to their house. They lived in an apartment and they lived there with the two of them.

The day started very early because I had to get out of bed at 7:30 am to have breakfast. We went to the school of Daniel and there I met my classmates and the rest of the participants of the project. We first got to see a kind of presentation and then we had to do a quiz about it. Then we got a tour of the school and the school was very different from our own school. We also got to see a traditional dance and then we had to participate ourselves. I found this very funny and fun too. That evening we passed Daniel's father and he had a very interesting job because he was the official photographer of FC Sevilla. Later that evening we agreed with some other participants of the project this was also very nice.

I had to get out of bed very early to have breakfast and to go back to the school. Today we went cycling through the center of Seville this was very funny because the Dutch knew how to cycle but the Spaniards, Greeks and Italians do not. It was a funny sight to see them cycling. I thought Seville was a very beautiful city because there were many beautiful buildings and many works of art. One of the artworks that I found very interesting was the mushroom which was huge and very impressive. That evening we went again with a group of Dutch and Spaniards to meet and make a trip along a lot of churches because they are very faithful in Seville 1 church we noticed very much because it was from the host family of Keran. That night I lay in late but it was a nice successful day.

Today I had to get out very early again, so in the meantime I had already built up a considerable sleep deprivation. This day we went to the Cathedral of Seville and we got a tour of the Spanish students there. This was very interesting because it was huge and there was a lot to see. There was also the chest that Columbus should be in that cathedral. We were then also given a tour of the palace which was also very beautiful and interesting but I did not really understand the goal. We also went to do the traditional dance for the cathedral. We got a lot of spectators so that was funny. This evening we stayed at home and I could go to bed on time.

Today I had to get out very early and went back to school. We went today to a kind of safari park and to get there we first had to go for an hour by bus. When we arrived we went into real safari buses unfortunately they did not have good springs and since we drove on bad roads we bounced in all directions. We saw a linx along the way and a lot of birds. When we were back we went with the Dutch to the village where we were exploring this was fun. In the evening we went with the host family bowling this was very nice and fun and I even won in my group.

Today we went out of bed early and went to school again. Today we spent the whole afternoon working on the project. We were divided into groups and we had to come up with a company that was better for the environment. This was a lot of fun, but I was sorry that we had to assemble something like that within a few hours, so the result was less. When we had finished at school, I went to a football match of FC Sevilla, which Daniel's father had arranged for. We were 1st class and I got unlimited food and drinks. Unfortunately, FC Sevilla lost but it was a really nice game to watch. This evening we went into the center with the Dutch to shop. We were only late so I could not buy anything that evening.

Today I was able to sleep in comfortably before I agreed with Daniel and the rest of the Dutch, because we all went bowling and doing arcade games in an arcade. In the meantime I had already become quite good in bowling so it went very well. Then we went all together into the center to shop for souvenirs and then suddenly started to storm this was very crazy because the Spanish children themselves had never seen thunderstorms. I was pretty successful in shopping for souvenirs that day. That night I had to pack my bag because the next day we went back to the cold Netherlands.

Today I had to get out early again and we went to school. We said goodbye to our host families and got into the cars to go to the plane. The flight was long and boring but we saved it. Once we arrived at Schiphol, we gathered at the cars to go back to Hoogeveen.

It was a very nice week, made a lot of friends and learned a lot. I would like to do it again.
