Thanks to the Comenius Project we could participate in
a Spanish student exchange program. Its first round started on the 22ndof
November in 2013, when the Spanish group arrived at Liszt Ferenc Airport. We
took them home, had dinner, and then we did something with our family, such as
walking on the bank of the Danube in the lights or going to the circus.
On Saturday in the morning we went bowling together
and afterwards we walked in the city to see our unique sights. We stopped at each attraction,
where one of the Hungarian students shared with the rest of us some information
about it. After crossing the Danube on the Chain Bridge, we visited the Castle
District.
On Monday we spent our day at the school. We prepared
a worksheet with questions about our secondary school and showed a video about
Budapest. Subsequently the Spanish students visited an English
or a Spanish lesson, and we saw some spectacular experiments in the Chemistry
laboratory. For dinner we had goulash soup. During the evening a folk dance
group joined us and taught us some easier steps. For dinner every Hungarian
student brought some kind of salad or cake. Besides this we prepared for the
evening with some games and taught them a Hungarian folk song, called
‘Márminálunkbabám’. At the end of the evening we had some more time to dance,
as well.
On Tuesday we visited the city of Eger, where we saw
the castle, the camera obscura and the Dobó square, too. It was a long day; we
arrived at the school only late in the evening.
On Wednesday we met in front of the Opera, from where
we walked to Heroes’ Square. Íon the way there we saw the Zoo and Vajdahunyad
Castle. Having arrived at the school, the boys went to play football and the
girls played volleyball. Afterwards we went upstairs to work on our projects.
On Thursday in the morning we visited the House of
Terror to see a historical series of exhibitions. It was really shocking for
all of us. Subsequently we went to the school to give presentations to some
English groups about Basque and Hungarian festivals. During the night we went
to the Aquaworld to everybody’s satisfaction. 
On Friday we started at the Parliament, where a tour guide talked about the building and its history. At the school we showed the rest of the presentations to our schoolmates. In the afternoon we went to the city to buy some souvenirs. In the evening there was a farewell party with games, music, and dancing.
