Our experience in France... It was wonderful. By the students Pedro Pedreño and Ana Zaplana

Our experience in France... It was wonderful.

We arrived in Geneva, Switzerland the first day and took the bus to Chambéry, France, the city that would be our home for a week. We all were so tired, but excited too. We couldn't stop talking about the travel, thinking of how our partners would be...

We stayed waiting for them a few hours until our friends arrived. We had met each other on Facebook a month ago, so we knew how they looked like. At the beginning, we were so shy and we didn't speak to anybody, but gradually  we started to talk to each other. They were (and are) awesome people!  
Each friend  picked up his correspondent partner and drove him to his house.
When we got home, we met the families. Every family was different, but generally they were very friendly, polite and cheerful. We tried to be the same, and we think we did it successfully. 
A thing we loved a lot was the food. Oh, there was so much cheese and it was very tasty.
Every day we did different things. We met all together at the school, including Germans, Austrians and Czechoslovakians (amazing people too), and we did different activities. 
The two firsts days we showed our country, Region and school and also about the unemployment in Spain with PowerPoints presentations. We knew Chambéry and its monuments on a funny way, with a  treasure searching style.
We visited the ILO (International Labour Organization) and saw its installations. We went to do Cross Country Skiing, a very funny activity (everybody fell off a lot of times, even teachers)
Out of the school time, we met and we went shopping, we did ice-skiing, we ate together... There was a very good atmosphere among us. We love them. They are like our second family. And we hope when they come to Spain, they are comfortable. Some of them will travel to Germany in April, but we hope we will meet them again.
Definitely, we would never change this experience.
