Hi,
today I'm publishing the German students' compositions about their trip to Szeged in Hungary.
Enjoy :)
Comenius: My week
in Hungary
Our trip started at the 20th of March at 7 a.m. at the
station in our town. At first we took the train to Regensburg and then to
Vienna. At last to Budapest. We spend a lot of time on the train. In Budapest a
bus was waiting for us to go to Szeged where our exchange partners waited. We
were all very excited and wondered how the week would be!
On our first day all the countries were welcomed by
the principal. After that we started with our program. At first we had to do
some geo-caching through Szeged and had to answer many questions about the
different places where we had to go! Later we were in the classes of our
exchange partners and saw how the lessons were. There are many differences
between German lessons and Hungarian. After that we had presentations and in
the break we could taste many traditional Hungarian desserts. We also got the
chance to dance the traditional Hungarian dances, these were great experiences
and we all got to know each other better.
The next day we went to Budapest, where we visited
many places for example the Buda place, the parliament of Hungary and a museum,
which was really interesting. The museum had a special name. The name of it was:
The house of terror. We learned there many interesting things about the history
of Hungary. All in all we were all very shocked because we haven't never heard of
these things before. The museum was quite big and each room was furnished
individually. It seemed that every room was for a new situation or new theme.
The whole Sunday was free. So we decided to go to the
important water gate of Szeged, because it was the special water day of
Hungary. Later we went shopping. It was really funny, but unfortunately we had
not enough time for it, because our exchange partners planned something for us.
Surprisingly we were in a bowling place with all other countries. We had so
much fun there:) In the evening we decided to go for a walk in Szeged, because
it was our last day in Hungary. The city at night is more beautiful than during
the day.
On Monday morning we had to say goodbye to our host
families and exchange partners, it was a really sad moment, because we became
very good friends in this short time, but we all decided to come together
another time! All in all I really enjoyed the trip to Hungary, it was a great
experience, which I will never forget. Thanks
for this great time.

My Comenius days in Hungary
On Thursday, we got by train from Amberg to
Regensburg, then to Wien and from there to Budapest. At last from Budapest to
Szeged. During the train ride, all Germans were very exciting. We looked
forward to a great weekend in Hungary. In the evening, our host families took
us from the bus to their homes and we had dinner.
On Friday, we all met again at school and had a quiz
about the city, which we had to solve by going around the city and collecting
the information we need. After that, everyone went with his exchange partner in
class and had two lessons. Then, we had lunch and the project presentations, after
a little break we learned Hungarian dances and in the evening, all German
students met again with their partners in a coffee bar.
On Saturday, we left Szeged early, because we went on
a 2-hour-trip to Budapest. There, we had a guided tour in the House of Terror,
where we learned a lot about Hungary in the second world war. After lunch, we
had a guided tour in the parliament and visited a tower in Budapest.
Sunday was a day which we spend with our host families,
but anyway, all Germans were together and visited with their exchange partners
a tower in Szeged and later, we went shopping. We also met again in the evening
and had a lot of fun together.
When we had to leave Hungary and our host families, on
Monday, we were all sad about that goodbye, but it was a great time, we will
never forget.
My Comenius days in Hungary
On the 20th of March we
started our trip in Amberg where we went by train to Budapest. And then from
Budapest to Szeged by bus. Although it was a very long journey I liked it very
much, because we had a lot of fun together and we were looking forward to a
great weekend in Hungary.
In the evening, our host families
picked us up at the school and we spent the evening in the host families. On Friday
we all met again at school and did a ralley in town, where we had to answer
some difficult questions while going around the city and collecting the
information we need. We had to do this in little groups with our teacher and
one of the Hungarians. After that, everyone went with his exchange partner in
class and had two lessons. After school we had lunch and watched the project videos.
On Saturday, we left Szeged early, because we went on a to Budapest. There, we
had a guided tour in the House of Terror, where we learned a lot about Hungary.
After lunch, we had a second guided tour in the parliament and visited the
city of Budapest. On Sunday we spent much time with our host families, but also with the
other Germans. On Monday morning we had to leave wonderful Hungary. It was a
nice time we never will forget.

Our trip to Hungary
…was very long. We travelled
about 10 hours until we reached Szeged. Szeged is known as the city of
sunshine. We were pretty lucky that the weather was really good and sunny. My host family was
very friendly and nice, I felt really comfortable there. The first day began
quite early, because school started for our exchange partners really early. But
it was worth, because we did a scavenger hunt through Szeged. My highlight of
Szeged was the river “Theiß “, because the sun reflected on top of the river
and it was really beautiful! After our tour through Szeged, we spent time with
our exchange partners in their lessons. After their class and lunch, we
assembled for the presentation and project “Our way to freedom”. The Hungarians
invited us for a little “tea party” and we also learned how to dance
traditional Hungarian dances. The second day we went to Budapest. Budapest is
the capital city of Hungary. We visited
there the House of Terror, where we could see and follow the way to freedom of
Hungary. Our next visit was the
Parliament of Hungary, it was really huge and beautiful. Inside the Parliament,
it was like a castle. Furthermore we
could see the differences between the “Bundestag” and their Parliament. Their
Parliament was still original. The next stop in Budapest was the “Buda Castle”
and this was my personal highlight of our trip to Budapest. Because this castle
was really impressive! It was really huge and on the top of the castle we had a beautiful sight of
the city. But the atmosphere of the castle was really calming and comfortable.
On the next day we could spend our time with our exchange partners. Our
partners showed us the “Water Tower” of Szeged, it also had a really nice sight
of the city. After that we went shopping in the Arcade and then we went bowling
with the other Comenius members.
The result of my trip to Hungary was really positive.
