On april the 8th, the students who take part in the Comenius Project about the minority languages went to Bulgaria during five days. We met at Vilassar de Mar's train station at 15:45 to go to the airport. Our flight left Barcelona at 19:00 and we arrived at Sofia's airport at 23:00 (contant que alla van una hora més adelantats que a Espanya). We met the Norwegians and the Irish students and we went to the hotel.
The next day we had a tour around Sofia.
The first day it was embarrasing to talk with Rally, my host. I think that most of the students were shy with their hosts, generally, because we had to talk in English and it was a little bit difficult.
After a visit around the city, we had lunch in the bus, while we were going to Veliko Tarnovo, a pretty town where we slept in another hotel. At night, all the students went to see the lights' show in the castle of the town; it was amazing.
On Sunday, we visited the castle and we had free time to visit the town too. Then, we had lunch in the bus, while we were going to Etara, a town-museum, where we could see typical Bulgarian houses and where we could buy some handcraft objects.
During the visit around Etara, I talked a lot with Rally and I gained confidence with her.
Then, we went to Kazanlak and I went to Rally's house. Her parents and her brother were friendly and welcoming. I felt really comfortable!
The next day, I assisted a German class and then we did Comenius' work all the morning, until the lunch time. Then, we had free time to go to visit Kazanlak and to buy some more souvenirs. We met in the Magnolia's restaurant to have dinner.
The Bulgarian food is different from the Spanish food, because it has more spices than the Spanish food, but by this way, I was able to try food from another culture.
In the restaurant, we saw a live show about folklore Bulgarian dances and it was gorgeous!
On Tuesday, I assisted an English class and before we had lunch, we had been doing Comenius work and we danced all together. Then, we had free time to visit the other part of Kazanlak and finally we went to a pizza restaurant and to a bar, until 22:00.
The last day, we met in front of the high school and we went to Sofia by bus. Our flight left the city at 16:20 and we arrived at Barcelona at 18:00.
It was a great experience I'll never forget!
