Hello!
I am Miriam, I am 15 years old. I visited Belgium last January during a Comenius project meeting.
On Friday:
I got up at 3 o’clock, afterwards I went to the airport in Alicante. My airplane took off at 6.35. It was about a two hour journey. We arrived at about 9 o’clock. When we arrived it was very cold, it was -1degree. After that we went to school in Thuin. Later, we visited Thuin, it is a beautiful city, it has got about 12000 people. Afterwards, at about 12 o’clock we went to the hotel, and then we went to have lunch at about 2 o’clock. I ate a big pizza, but I didn’t eat all because I was full. When we finished, we went to the Carnival museum, and we went to the teachers’ hotel. At about 6.30 we went to have dinner (In Belgium, they have dinner early) but I didn’t have dinner because I wasn’t hungry. When they finished, we went to the hotel to be picked up. In the evening it snowed a bit.
After that we arrived at Larissa’s house (Larissa’s family was my family in Belgium) Her mother is Veroniqué; she was very helpful with me, her father is Nicolás and he was helpful with me too, and her sister is very friendly and very crazy and happy, she is Clara, and Larissa is a very good and beautiful girl and helpful with me. We went to bed at about 11 o’clock.
On Saturday:
I got up at 11.30 because I was very tired. I had hunch as 1 o‘clock; and after having lunch in the afternoon we went to Larissa’s competition. At about seven we went to Brusels, it is a very beautiful and big city, I like it. We had dinner in a bar, I had French potatoes for dinner, they are very nice, I like them very much. After lunch we visited Brusels, and I visited a Cathedral and an important monument ‘’Manneken pis’’ and “Atomium” it is very big and very beautiful. We arrived home at 11 o’clock.
On Sunday:
In the morning I got up at 7.05 because we went to the teacher’s hotel. We went to Oostende and it has got a sea but it started to rain, and we went to have lunch. We had macarroni for lunch with bechamel and ham. In the afternoon we went shopping and Larissa and me ate a waffel. We went to Brugge at about 3o’clock. Brugge is a rural village, it has got a big river and the landscape is green. It was very cold. At 5.30 we went to the bus. It was about a 2 hour journey. When we arrived, Larissa and me went home and we had potatoes with beef for dinner. Afterwards I surfed the Internet and I went to bed at 10.30.

Then they have got four hours. The lessons finish at 4.10.
