We had about 10 people from our district to go up to Paris to meet all the other exchangers, we will 50 in total like in Barcelona! This time there were a fair amount of people from the Nice distrist, which is on the coast south of us. There were also quite a few people who I knew from Barcelona on the trip.
We did an afternoon of Paris, then played ping-pong in transit to Strasbourg. The next day in Strasbourg which is right next to Germany, we eat sausage and sauerkraut, took a boat river tour of the city, then climbed up the local cathedrale ridiculously fast, giving me one of the best thigh work outs I've had in some time. It was a very nice town.
Day 3 was Nurembourg in Germany, where the famous Nazi trials were. We saw the stadium where the Nazis would come to discuss what they were going to do for the next year, plus a place where Hitler would give speeches. We eat Wienerschnitzel.
Days 4 and 5 were Prague, where we had guides who had lost their voices, and a currency that no one understood because the ratio was so weird and it changed I swear. There we shopped, Lucca and I eat "Old Prague" which was just a bunch of meat and things with SO MUCH FLAVOR. There was this clock that every hour or days or something did some little dance thing, because it had all these moving parts. Yuto (Japan) and Jerry and Cliff (Taiwan) and I were like the 14th floor of our hotel so it made it super hard when we were late in the morning because the elevators were always full because there was an Italian school in the hotel.
After that was Vienna in Austria! I loved this town as far as a town I might live in, and we went on a Ferris Wheel! Now that I think of it maybe if was here we eat Wienerschnitzel, in any case one can't get enough! After that we took a tour of the town.
We took one day just to drive until Italia! There we arrived in the afternoon in a place called Lido de Jesolo (which is where you had to stay if you're going to Venice) We played kites and frisbee on the beach and it was sweet.
Next morning was Venice, we took the boat there and unfortunately it was raining, but that was ok! We eat expensive pizza, and even took a gondola ride! I thought that was magnificent.
Next comes Milano, a very fancy city with the 1st ever Prada, and a cathedrale that is just ridiculously big and amazing. Here I had the chance of buying a 8 dollar can of coca cola, more pizza, and a tour of an old building of Milano, I think it was a building of Royalty?
The EuroTour was coming to an end as we reached Switzerland, but quickly switchd to France and saw the breathtaking city of Chamonix right near Mont Blanc, there we chilled, eat subway, then saw the ice caves which were magnificent! However it's amazong how fast they're melting, but it's seriously caves made of ice! That night there was a carnival was went to.
The 2nd to last day was Geneva, another international classy town with really good chocolate. The best thing here was we got to see the United Nations! Rooms where people from all over the world were having discussions about todays issues, that interested me to maybe do that as a career.
The last day we were just in the bust going back to Paris and some people cried when we all left, it was pretty sad. It was a pretty crazy day because after that I saw my mom for the first in 8 months in Paris!
P.S. To see all of my photos, I made an album on my Facebook.
