After
Hungarian experience, I can say that Hungarian team worked hard to make such a
great week for us. For this successful programme, I would like to thank Erika,
Zoltan and other teachers who involved in the Project. What impressed me a lot
was Hungarian history and culture, dance and music, I enjoyed listening to
school chorus and participating folk dance workshop. Finally, I want to thank host parents for
taking good care of our students.

During my
stay in Hungary, I met people from different cultures. I learned more about
Project subject in documentary trips organised to various places. It was
especially fruitful for our students. They started a lifelong friendship with
their peers. There was a good balance between trips to thermal areas and
cultural heritage areas. As a Music teacher, I am impressed when all kids sang
songs together. The headmistress and the teachers organized the activities
professionally.

Oh lovely
Hungary! I’ve never expected that this country is so peaceful and beautiful!
During the visit I had a chance to meet fantastic warm-hearted and smiley
people who were very helpful and kind. Budapest is simply magnificent with all
its architecture and style. I didn’t even mind the cold and grey sky because I
was with friends who made my day there! I was surprised at a terrific
organisation of our Hungarian partners who worked pretty well to make us feel
at home and who planned so many varied activities for us. The school in
Cserkeszőlő is so pretty that I wish I could work there myself with such an
amazing staff and headmistress. We loved the artistic programme during the gala
and we saw the effort our partners made to make everything up to the standards.
The thermal spa, beautiful landscape and the sunny weather even added up to
those impressions. On behalf of my team and me, I would like to thank Zoltan,
Erika, Aliz, and the whole Hungarian team together with students and their
parents (especially those who hosted our students) for such a great experience and hospitality.
We will never forget that one week in March 2014!

STUDENTS’ OBSERVATIONS
We visited
so many places and everywhere we went, people were warm-blooded. Especially my
host family treated me as their own son. I had the opportunity to meet new
people from different countries. I'm so happy to have this chance. This
organization helped me improve my English.

Budapest. The activities at school was very enjoying. Thanks to Comenius, I
made many new friends and I learned about new cultures.

We arrived
at Hungary on 23rd March and stayed for about 6 days. As for me, the visit was
awesome. We enjoyed everyday. Because there were people from different
countries, we had a chance to do a culture-swap. We visited not only Budapest
but also different cities, too. Every day, we went to another interesting
place. So on the last day, we had visited the most interesting places nearby.
All the students stayed at different families' houses. I loved my family so
much because they were so nice to me. They made me feel like a part of the
family. And that is 'Warm' At Home...

In the

Hungarian hosts. After the meal, we packed suitcases into the coach and we set
off to explore the Hungarian capital of Budapest. Along with the guide we went
on Heroes' Square. The square is a statue of the Archangel Gabriel and under
him the Prince Arpad and his six chiefs. Colonnade on both sides of the column
commemorates the great figures of Hungarian history. In the square there are
the Museum of Art and the Palace Exposition. All participants performed the
commemorative photo. The next point of the trip was the Hungarian parliament
and the St. Stephen's Basilica we
visited the beautiful interior. A big impression on us did casket containing
the relics of St. Stefan, specifically his right hand, which is a symbol of
strength. During the break we went to a beautiful restaurant located
underground. The first dish is broccoli soup which, despite the beautiful
administration I did not like . The second dish: salad, chicken and potatoes
for me it tasted very delicious. The dessert crepes are given with cheese and
an apple sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with vanilla pudding. Delicious !
Refreshed meal and we went on further exploring. We took the bridge to the
other side of the Danube where we visited the cathedral and the city skyline. Cruise
on the Danube gave us a lot of joy and during the song we listened to Bach's
"The Blue Danube". After the cruise, despite the cold to all of
us in a good mood, joking, taking
pictures, etc.

A few weeks
ago my teachers, friends and I went to Hungary for the Comenius meeting in the
WAH project. On the first day, we were in Budapest. We saw the Heroes’ Square,
the Hungarian Parliament, Basilica of St Stephan and Mattias Cathedral. We ate
in a good Hungarian restaurant and we had a boat ride along the Danube River. I
loved it! On Tuesday morning, we played table tennis at school. Later on, we
were at the swimming pool. On the next day, we visited the music museum and we
played some awesome instruments there. After the museum, we went to a shopping
centre. On Thursday, we were in a village and we tasted some wine and juice
produced by one of the farmers. Later on, we were in Tiszasas in a beautiful
village school. After the visit, we went to see the hydro power plant. On
Friday, we were in Opusztaser and we saw the open air museum. We shot arrows
and saw old costumes and houses. It was great there! The last day we spent at
the swimming pool. We came home by train and we experienced a ride by an
underground. For me and others it was the first time we have done that. We were
sad because we had to come to Poland. We loved it so much in Hungary. We will
miss our Hungarian friends.
