00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:07,610
Hello, we are Alejandro, Yahe and Samuel and we are going to do a podcast about our experience in the Erasmus exchange in Budapest.

2
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:10,509
The first day in Spain was a little bit strange.

3
00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:17,949
Firstly, the Hungarians arrived at the airport and the teachers took them to school, where we were waiting to meet them.

4
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:24,890
At first, we were so nervous, but then we met each other better and all went good.

5
00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:29,309
After eating the churros, we went to our houses and we ate.

6
00:00:29,309 --> 00:00:39,310
Then we went to La Gavia to see stores and after that we pick up some pizzas and we walk to a place to see the sunset.

7
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:46,310
The next day we planned to be at the center of Madrid. We met the teachers at school and we did a tour around Madrid.

8
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:55,310
We saw the Plaza Mayor where we met a fat Spiderman and we also saw some big buildings such as the Royal Palace and the Puerta del Sol.

9
00:00:55,310 --> 00:01:01,310
After that we continued in the center for all day long until going to sleep at night.

10
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:11,310
On the third day we visited Aranjuez where we fed some ducks with bread and where we saw a palace with gardens that was built by Isabel II.

11
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:15,310
We were nearly all day there so we hadn't more time.

12
00:01:15,310 --> 00:01:18,310
We went back to the city center the fourth day.

13
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:22,310
This day we visited the botanic garden where we saw a lot of plants.

14
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:28,250
Then, we also visited the Retiro Park, where we had free time and we enjoyed a lot in general.

15
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:34,549
In the evening, we went to a mall called Oasis which was opened a few months ago.

16
00:01:34,549 --> 00:01:37,769
There we went bowling and we had a really really good time.

17
00:01:37,769 --> 00:01:44,069
The fifth day was used to visit Alcalá de Henares, a very beautiful small city in Madrid.

18
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:49,010
Here the guide called David told us a lot of the history of the town and we visited

19
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:53,069
the Don Quixote's house.

20
00:01:53,069 --> 00:01:58,790
On Saturday, we woke up in Jahe's house after a silly bubble.

21
00:01:58,790 --> 00:02:05,230
We went to the center of Madrid, where we watched a Science Factory Day celebration.

22
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:09,629
We also ate typical Spanish food in a restaurant.

23
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:15,389
At noon, we went to Ines' house and played a bunch of games and did several activities

24
00:02:15,389 --> 00:02:17,310
in group.

25
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:22,610
On Sunday, we had to sadly say goodbye to our Hungarian mates.

26
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:30,490
morning was mainly dedicated to prepare our partner's luggage. At around 6 p.m. we

27
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:35,930
arrived to the airport and we had to say goodbye to them. It was kind of sad

28
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:41,870
because we didn't want it to end and we were enjoying it really much. However we were

29
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:47,449
going to Hungary just in three weeks so this sadness was a short relief and by

30
00:02:47,449 --> 00:02:52,189
thinking about the good experiences we were about to pass through made us

31
00:02:52,189 --> 00:02:56,870
really happy. The 7th of April the Spanish group participating on this

32
00:02:56,870 --> 00:03:02,210
activity were ready to take off to Budapest. At around 1130 our flight took

33
00:03:02,210 --> 00:03:07,129
off and we were really excited about what we were going to experience. As soon

34
00:03:07,129 --> 00:03:11,710
as we arrived our Hungarian mates were already in the airport to take us home.

35
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:16,370
That afternoon we went to a karaoke where we spent a really good time and

36
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:21,169
after singing for a while we had a walk around the city center and we went

37
00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:29,169
shopping then we went back to back home in order to sleep and wake up with enough strength for the

38
00:03:29,169 --> 00:03:35,729
next day on monday we woke up very early in order to arrive soon to the hungarian parliament

39
00:03:36,289 --> 00:03:44,370
where we had a gated tour translated to spanish we visited all chambers and rooms of the parliament

40
00:03:44,370 --> 00:03:51,990
it was as beautiful as from the outside. After visiting, we made a kind of

41
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:57,509
ginkana in which we had to visit some of the most characteristic places of the

42
00:03:57,509 --> 00:04:04,370
nearby regions. After that, we went back home to have lunch and then we went to

43
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:10,889
Anna's house in order to be together and have a really good time. Overall, it was a

44
00:04:10,889 --> 00:04:19,009
a really nice and easy game. On Tuesday, we took a train that would take us to Visegrad,

45
00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:26,810
which was a nearby region. Here, we were going to walk to visit a castle located on top of

46
00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:33,129
a mountain. Firstly, we took a boat to take us to the other side of the lake, where the

47
00:04:33,129 --> 00:04:40,310
the mountain was. It was really tiring, as it has a lot of inclinations, and we arrived

48
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:47,290
really exhausted to the castle. After visiting the castle for around one hour and a half,

49
00:04:47,290 --> 00:04:54,170
we went to have a ride on a boat, which was a fun attraction. Unfortunately, our friend

50
00:04:54,170 --> 00:05:01,350
Samuel had an accident and the teachers needed to take him to the hospital. After the activity

51
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:11,350
On Wednesday, we went to sleep to Bessel's house. Bessel was a Hungarian farmer. We really enjoyed it, and we slept few hours, but it was worth it.

52
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:25,350
On Wednesday, we went to the Model Castle, in the heart of the city. After the amazing views of the city, we cried at typical food from Budapest called Langos, which was like a fried dough.

53
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:31,350
After that, we lived an amazing experience selling a steam room together.

54
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:38,350
And after all of this, we hung out together and did some chill activities at home.

55
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:43,350
On Thursday, we visited the Magai Thailand, located in the middle of the Danube,

56
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:47,350
where we rented some kind of vehicles that were similar to bikes.

57
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:50,350
After this, we ate a picnic in a nearby park.

58
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:55,350
After eating, we went to visit the Fenerbahçe Stadium.

59
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:59,350
This stadium is the stadium of the best football team of Hungary.

60
00:05:59,350 --> 00:06:05,350
For this day, we walked a boat trip along the Danube at around 7 pm.

61
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:10,350
It was really nice and the best part about it was seeing the sunset from the boat.

62
00:06:10,350 --> 00:06:16,350
To end the day, we went to the famous wheel at night, where we observed Budapest at night.

63
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:26,350
On Friday, we went to Mr. Sebek's Spa, where we enjoyed the pools, the different types of sauna, and the cold bath.

64
00:06:26,350 --> 00:06:33,350
We then went to eat something at a coffee shop, and most of us had cake.

65
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:45,350
Consequently, we went to their high school, where we played football, volley, ping pong, and after that, celebrated all together eating a pizza.

66
00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:51,350
They also gave us a chair to have as a memory with their high school's name.

67
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:58,350
And at night, we celebrated at Silvia's house, which was Samuel's teammate,

68
00:06:58,350 --> 00:07:06,350
like an anticipated birthday. We danced and had a bunch of delicious food.

69
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:13,350
Overall, this has been a one-of-a-kind experience where we have learned a lot about the new culture,

70
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:17,069
I enjoyed about their amazing sites and history and created amazing memories.

71
00:07:18,089 --> 00:07:20,629
Thanks for everything. This was all our podcast.
