Monday (Emma)

I was looking forward to Monday; our guests would come! When we were at my home, I took her round my house and after that we played some games. It was pretty fun. Later we also went to my piano lesson. She said I can play pretty good :)

Tuesday (Madelief)                                                                                               Tuesday was the first day of our program. To let each other know a bit more about the countries we all come from, all pupils gave a presentation about their country. After the presentations the foreign guests got a lesson Dutch. The Dutch pupils had to help and it was really fun to do. We went to the centre of Maastricht on our bicycle and walked the discovery tour. At some spots the Dutch people gave information about Maastricht.  After the city tour we took our guests home. Because we had to work together a lot this first day, my guest and I got a really good connection. I really liked this day and I had a lot of fun. J

Wednesday (Nino)

On Wednesday we had a dance workshop. After this workshop we had mathematics class. That was boring, sorry but it is true J.In the afternoon we did a GPS-tour, During the GPS-tour we were in teams and we had to find the right path on a LCD screen. And we made Dutch pies, in the Netherlands we call the pies “vlaaien”. 

That was really fun and the “vlaaien” tasted delicious.

 

Thursday (Emma)

Today we drove mountain bike, which was pretty fun, but also a bit exhausting. We also bowled that day and I really liked it. At my home we watched 'The Hunger Games'. Before Marina came to the Netherlands we already had some contact via WhatsApp. We discovered that we were reading the same book at the same time: 'Mockingjay' ! She is a big fan of the Hunger Games, but she had never seen the movies before, until she came to the Netherlands. 

 

Friday (Nino)

On Friday morning we went to the American War Cemetery in Margraten, that was very interesting. A teacher told us many interesting things about the Cemetery and WWII. After the speech we received a rose and were allowed to select a grave which we all gave a rose. In the afternoon we went to the three corners of Limburg (here comes three countries together), we call the place “drielandenpunt”. We have made some pictures and also walked in the 3 countries! Then we drove to Aachen, here we have done a quiz and that was really nice. Friday evening was a lot of fun, we had a fare well diner and a disco. The disco was awesome. It was a very nice week!
