MEMORIES FROM GÖTTINGEN Oriol F. (2 ESO C)

GÖTTINGEN 2016
On the 9th of December of 2016 I went to Germany with my German classmates on a student exchange programme.

First, we met at the airport with the teachers (Mònica and Lurdes) and my German language classmates, at 11 AM approximately. Then we checked the baggage in and we went through the security checks. When we were in the boarding area, Lurdes and Mònica left us half an hour to do anything we wanted (buying some food…). After this half hour, we just waited to get on the plane. Then we showed our passport and our flying ticket to the hostess and the plane took off. During the flight, I took some photos of the landscape.






After two hours, we arrived at Hannover airport. Then we had to take two trains to get to Göttingen. During all the journey I was very nervous. When we arrived, every German partner was holding a paper with a letter. When the letters were together, we could read the word “Bienvenidos”, which means Welcome in Spanish.

Then I went with my German partner to his house. He showed me his room, bathroom…

After showing me the house, we had pasta for dinner and a mix of apple juice and sparkling water to drink and we watched the film Deadpool in English.

Saturday, one of the best days for me. That day I met with Àngel and Philip (Àngel’s partner), Nil and Nils (Nil’s partner) and me and Florian (my partner) and we went to the Christmas market. We went to a Ferris wheel and a carousel. It’s strange but we had lunch at 4 o’clock, almost supper time for my partner! We had lunch at a restaurant called Vapiano. This restaurant is curious because you have a magnetic card where they store information on anything that you order and you have to give that card to the waitress when you want to pay for your meal. This restaurant only has Italian food, like pasta, pizza or calzone. After lunch, we went to the playground of the young boys’ school, because it wasn’t closed. In the playground, there were seesaws and a structure that you could climb. We had a lot of fun.

Sunday was a funny day too, but not like Saturday, it was a rainy day. That day I met with more people. In the morning, I met with Àngel, Laura, Nil, Estel and Anna and their partners, we went to bowling alley. After bowling I had lunch at home, my partner and I played computer games. Later, we took the bus to watch the girls’ basketball team of Göttingen. At the basketball court, Laura, Anna, Estel, their partners and Florian’s friends were waiting for us. At the half part of the match, we went to another part of the basketball court which was not being used. The lights were off and it was very dark. We played with a ball, passing it, and it was very funny because you did not know where it was.

Monday, the first day of school. I woke up at 6:30 A.M. I was very tired, but also nervous. We did the first classes and then we did a tour of the centre of Göttingen. At the street I had to wear a jacket and a hat because it was very cold! Later we went back to the school and we had lunch. After lunch, we had to do a project about a subject that the teachers selected. I had to do a research about Felix Klein. In the evening, I went to the Christmas market with Nil and Nils and my partner Florian.    

Tuesday, a different routine. We went to Wolfsburg, to the Phaeno’s museum. There were scientific experiments and funny things. There was one experiment in which a person had to put his/her hand on a “little iceberg” and hold the hand there as much time as possible. I kept my hand there a lot of time with Martí. We had a good time there! Later, we went to a restaurant at the museum to have lunch. I ate a “Diavolo pizza”. It was a spicy pizza, I like spicy food. After eating, we went to an outlet, there were lots of brands, like Adidas, Nike, Superdry, Ralph Lauren… At the outlet, I bought a t-shirt for my brother.

Wednesday, Grimm’s workshop. We went to school and also to a workshop about Grimm brothers. It was interesting. We ate at the canteen and we finished the project. In the evening, we went to the Christmas market to buy things for the family.

Thursday, also a good day. We went to school like a normal day, and after school, we went to an amazing swimming pool. It had two Jacuzzis, two water toboggans, one trampoline, two normal swimming pools and one outdoor pool. When we left the swimming pools, I ate a hamburger and a slush of strawberry and then we went at home to take a shower. After that, we went back to school to celebrate a party.

Friday, the last day! We went to school early in the morning and then we went to the train station at Göttingen. It was time of say goodbye to the families and the partners.


SEE YOU SOON IN BARCELONA!

My trip to Göttingen

When I arrived at the train station I didn’t know which my partner was!!! His name is Micha.

During the travel by car his father was saying me strange names of cities and food that I don’t remember.

When we arrived in Öbernjesa (his village) I went to my room and put my bag. When I arrived at the table there were a lot of bread, cheese and meat. The dinner was very good and later I called my family to tell them about the travel. When I finished the call we played a table game that treated about the life before we went to bed.

The first day with my partner started with an excursion to the Hercules tower walking!!!

After walking so much we went to the café in front of the tower and I ate a Frankfurt cake. These day I only had a Frankfurt cake for lunch.

The return was easier. We went down stairs and to the Christmas market of Kassel and we drank hot wine. There I saw a very big advent calendar with a story in every day. Finally we returned home, had dinner and slept.

The second day I got up very early cause Micha had a football match. His friend came with his mother in a car. In the car there was also another Micha’s friend. They won three matches of four (the first they tied the match). In the afternoon we went climbing in a covered place with a mattress.

The next day I got up at 6:00 and I took a shower to be more active in the morning.

Going to school I didn’t recognise anything of the street. Before entering the class I saw Martí and he said me that he was in my class, but in biology class they were in groups and Martí wasn’t in my group. When the class finished Martí and I didn’t know where to go. We asked a teacher and he told us that the people of Spain were straight the corridor. Finally we found our friends. When we found them we went to the theatre and we did an activity prepared by kids of fifth of primary to visit the school FKG.

When we returned to the school we visited the city with a guide.

At the canteen I didn’t find Micha and I ate alone.

In the afternoon we started doing the project of the Gänzeliezen. Then I went with Micha to his trumpet lessons.

On Tuesday we went to PHAENO, a museum in Wolfsburg that has a fire tornado and a spikes bed.

On Wednesday we went to a place to talk about the Grimm brothers and we explained a story written by them. In the afternoon we did the project of the Gänzeliezen

Tuesday was very strange because we did the first class and then we did an alternative project that was a bag painted with brushes. I did this project while my partner was making a test. After he finished the test and he did the bag and we did a photo game because the others were doing an exam. In the afternoon we did the project presentations (our was very bad). We had dinner at school and when we returned home we played a “uno” game.

On the last day, I didn’t understand anything about the first two classes that we took. Then we went to the train station and had a big goodbye of all the partners.


When we arrived home we were all very tired.
