My cultural experiences by Linnea

I personally love the spanish culture and language and I was really lookig forward to this trip. Even if I knew already quite a lot about it from school and from my personal experiencies, I also learned new things during this exchange. For example I didn't know before that the students in Vigo actually speak two languages – el castellano (the usual spanish) and the gallego, the native language of Galicia (the Province of Spain were Vigo is located). I also find it a bit strange, that students there go to school in the afternoons or sometimes even in the evenings, but therefore don't have lessons in the morning. Well, not everybody of course. I think they were kind of sepperated in different groups and some of them had school in the mornings and some of them in the afternoons. 
In the lunchbreak we always went home to eat – which was quite unusual for me too because I rarely do that here in Germany. At least not if I still have school afterwards :)
Alltogether I really liked this exchange and I feel like it has given me a lot of new impressions, experiences and a little insight in another culture which I really loved!

The Rollercoaster The Rollercoaster is a restaurant in the south of Hamburg, southern of the Elbe. The really good and exquisite food comes to your table by rail, after you ordered by tablet. Sometimes even with a sparkler. We went there with 10 persons. Exept from another branch in Dresden, this restaurant is unique. The "Schokofondue" On sunday afternoon, we went to Pauline's to eat the so-called "Schokofontäne". It's a fondue of melted chocolate in form of a fountain, where you dip fruit in. It exploded twice. That was the second time. The first time, we took the tablecloth away, expecting it not to happen again, but... The "Tropenaquarium" Monday, we were at the "Hagenbeck's Tropenaquarium". It's part of the zoo here in Hamburg.  That's Steve. He's a manta ray.

A sunny day in Hamburg Downtown :-D

Hi! We´re Alexandra, Annika, Julia and Natalia. On monday we spent a lovely day in the City Center of Hamburg. First we all went to the International Maritime Museum of Hamburg which was really interesting! We learned a lot of facts about the history of the harbour. After that we walked to the Underground Station "Überseequartier" which is near the museum in the Hafencity. We had lunch at a burger Restaurant named "Jim Block" next to the Gänsemarkt. Everyone ate a huge burger and it was sooo delicious. In the afternoon we were relaxing next to the river Alster and had a Virgin Colada. Afterwords we took a lot of nice pictures in front of the council in the evening light. We went by train to "St.Pauli" and had a short view at the Dom which is an amusemant park in Hamburg. Sadly it first opens on friday the 23rd March. :( Because of that we just walked along the famous street Reeperbahn and saw a outdoor stage where for example the announcement of Germany&#

German chocolate and candy tasting.

On Monday, we tried some different kinds of chocolates and German candy. We went to "Edeka", a German supermarket, to buy them. Tara showed me all the kinds of candy that she likes and are not available in Spain. She told me that her favourite one works as if it was some kind of "drug": the first time it's good, but it doesn't make you addicted. However, the second time you try it, nobody can stop you from eating it all up. Tara was right. Both of us are vegetarian, and it turns out that Germany is "The Vegetarian Paradise" for gummy bear lovers. We had already tried the ones that Tara's parents gave us the previous night, so we bought a different kind. Just after that, we went home and had a nice talk while we were eating all the candy. We did not even realise that we were almost finishing them all; then, Tara's mum called us for dinner, and we were already full (of candy :)). One of Tara's favourite candy is "Knusperflocken&q
