BERLÍN 2014

Our trip has been really interesting and funny, at least for me. The things I think I liked the most were the monuments of the jews. They were impressive and funny because of their unstable form, basic colour and large capacity. The Brandenburger Tor was simply amazing, mostly at night. The first day we went there in the evening and we had time to have a snack and take a lot of photos. Friday night we had the chance to go to a night club, but only for two hours so we decided to go for a walk there and to see the Brandenburger Tor, and it was really, really amazing when it was lit up.

One of the days, we changed our plans to go to the zoo and it was spectacular. The lion, the leopard, the rhinoceros... all the animals were gorgeous but, for me, a lot of them were without freedom, depressed, at least they seemed like this.

We went to Sachsenhausen, a concentration and extermination camp, but it was really disappointing because it had been repaired, I meant, inside the houses the floor wasn't the real one and things like that.

The wall of Berlín was really surprising because it was a wonderful wall full of graffitis, named East Side Gallery.

I can't complain about the food, because for dinner we went to a restaurant where the food was quite good, but they put a lot of sauce on the food, then we told our teachers and the last two days we could eat without sauce on our food. Our lunch was basicaly friet and fast food.

Most of the people spoke English, but they spoke so fast so sometimes we had problems to understand their English. Friday evening when we were having a snack in front of the television tower a group of German girls asked us for a little interview about our stay in Berlín and then they took a photo with us.

I really enjoyed this trip beacause one thing that I didn't imagine when I left home was that I would meet a lot of people, I mean, I had the chance to be more friendly with my classmates and teachers and we had a good time together. If I had the oportunity to repeat a trip like this, I'm sure that I would take advantage of it.

BARCELONA RULES

On thursday 27th of March, we went to Barcelona. Our trip starts in the high school, we took the bus at 8:15 am in the morning and until we arrived to Barcelona, we didn't stop. 

When we finally arrived there, the bus left us at the Plaça Catalunya, then we got in groups to interview tourists for our english task. Míriam, Sandra and I were walking for El Portal de l'Angel and we saw a lot of tourists. I made our first interview to a French couple, and they answered all the questions quite well, but sometimes they answered fist in French and then in English. Then we met two Dutch girls and we had a beautiful interview because they spoke English very well and we could understood all they said. Then Míriam interviewed a Japanese couple, but the girl had a very low voice and we had to interview to another two German girls.

Then, when we had finished all the interviews and we got to a lot of shops to saw some clothes and, if we had time, bought some ones.

At 13:00, we had to met our teachers in the cathedral to check that we were all there. Then we had time to lunch and to did whatever we want until 15:00.

We went to a lot of shops, and we bought some clothes. When we finished we went to the theatre with the bus and then we went home. We had a very good time!!

I interviewed a couple of French people, the woman answered me. She told me that it isn't their first time in Spain and they came here by plane, to visit the city, for four days. They were travelling together, without anybody else. That day they only have visited the cathedral, and the most beautiful monument they had visited in those days was the Parc Güell. They haddn't bought any presents. They got arround in the city on foot and they didn't know many words in our language, they knew "cafe con leche, bocadillo..." and that's all. They had tried typical food and they though that the only thing that was expensive there were the visits of the monuments. There was nothing they didn't like and they told us that they would recommend Barcelona to their family and they probably come back again.
