Thanks to this exchange, I have become very aware of this topic. Since there is a big difference between Spain and the Netherlands on that subject. For example, in the Netherlands there are many recycling bins everywhere, even in the high school itself, they are also very clean and there is no garbage on the street or anything else. That’s why the streets are very clean, there are many green spaces, almost everything is green, and last but not least, people ride bicycles everywhere and that helps the environment a lot. That made me realize that in Spain we are very behind on this issue and that we need to act quickly.

Today was my last day here, so I packed my suitcase and went to school with my partner, but before that I said goodbye to her parents and thanked them for everything.

Afterwards we were doing a quiz of questions and after that we got ready to go to the subway, I said goodbye to Chiara and with great sadness we left for Rotterdam.

After taking several meters and a bus we arrived in Rotterdam and we were waiting as our flight was delayed.

Later we were waiting for a bus to take us to Granada since we were at Malaga airport and we arrived in Granada at about half past ten at night.

I got home very tired and very hungry so I ate a ham sandwich with tomato and cheese, as I had missed Spain.

today I woke up and we were going to come to school by bicycle but it was snowing so we had to take the car when we got the car we went to art class and we were teaching and then we did a workshop on typical tiles from here.

Later that day we went bowling and played typical games from the Netherlands.

In the afternoon there was a farewell party in which we ate and played hide and seek throughout the school. It was amazing, and it also snowed that night.

Today when I woke up I felt much better, my head didn’t hurt so much and I didn’t feel so dizzy, we went to Amsterdam and visited the city, we also went to the Van God museum and then we did some shopping.

Then we went back to his house and spent the afternoon watching movies and resting since we felt very tired.

The next day I still feel bad, I woke up and we went to school and played some games, one was to look for things in the city and the other was to paint and exercise.

After finishing the activities we went to Amsterdam with Chiara’s family, I had a great time we went to a place where there were several rooms with different themes, it was great, but my condition was worse.

We had to go to the hospital, that was a very interesting experience since the hospitals here are not like those in Spain and I also had to go to Chiara’s mother who does not speak English, they prescribed me some pills and I went to her house to sleep .

Today we woke up early and went to Culemborg the trip takes two hours or so and then we met our assigned student.

we played some games at school to break the ice and then they taught us about it .

later we met the family, I went to their house and then we went out for a walk around the neighborhood, I had a great time, but I fell off my bike, later we went to dinner and the food did not sit well with me and I I started to feel bad, I didn’t give it much importance and I went to sleep.

Today I woke up at six and got ready to catch the bus that left at eight and we arrived at Malaga airport at half past ten and left for Rotterdam and got there at four in the afternoon

After arriving in Rotterdam we took three trains and a bus and arrived in the city center, later we left the bags in the hotel and went for a walk around Rotterman and later we had dinner and then we took another walk at night and later we returned to the hotel and rest for a new day.
