There were countries that brought typical food from their lands. It was a great start to the week.
In between the presentations we had a break to eat something.

When we arrived there we started playing in a scape room in different international groups, where we did a lot of new friends of different countries. While we were participating in the game, we were discovering the beautiful city.
We heard a very interesting talk, where a boy explain to us the importance of the body language when you are doing a presentation, and how his company works. It was a time where we have to work and be attentive to learn as much as we can.
Then the game finished and we had lunch in a very cute restaurant in the centre of the city square. While we were eating we decided what we are going to visit. The food was delicious, we ate a meat soup and a plate of spaghettis with tomato.
Later, we had free time to discover the city for our own and took some photos to remember it better. We went to visit the principal church and some souvenirs shops, where we bought some good decoration gifts. We spent one hour looking and walking along Maribor's streets, and trying to know better this amazing city. We felt like adults doing tourism in a foreign country. It was an amazing experience!
After we arrived to the school again, we put our magnificent pijamas and we went upstairs where the party has started. We had a lot of fun! We didn't stop dancing and eating, all people was enjoying, singing and spending time with their friends. It was a very nice time with our mates.
When the party finished, we returned to "our houses" and we slept and relaxed for the next exciting day.

Friday 9th
Today have been an emotional day because today is our last day here in Slovenia. In the morning we show the presentation that we have done in groups with people from different countries to our partners. In this presentation we put into practice the speaking skills that we have learnt this week. In this presentation we also presented Slovenia, Maribor and Benedikt and interesting facts that we have learnt in the different trips that we have done. Then teachers have given us the certificates and we enjoyed a yummy lunch.
In the afternoon, I visited a famous mountain in Maribor with my host family where we can see all the city from a funicular. We ate delicious cake in a restaurant and then we went home to prepare us because at night we had a farewell party. That party was really funny. We sing we dance with our friends and teachers and we’ve had a lot of fun but in the other hand we were very sad because anyone likes farewells and it was very difficult say good bye to people that in one week have been participant in this unforgettable and joyful experience.
