Today we went to the Science Museum and to the FC Barcelona stadium. The science museum was very interesting, but I don’t have physics, so I didn’t understand biggest part of the museum. Because of that, we went out and settle down on a terrace. The weather was very sunny, so it was very nice on the terrace.
After our time at the science museum we went to the FC Barcelona stadium. I don’t know very much about football, but I really liked our visit. It was very big, there can be 90.000 people in the stadium. We’ve seen places you don’t see every day, for example the changing rooms and the pressroom. After we’ve seen everything we went back to school.
My exchange partner was Laia. She lives with her mother and brother in a very tiny appartment at the thirteenth floor. They were very nice for me. Laia’s mother didn’t speak English when I arrived at Barcelona, but during my visit, she learned some words English. Before I went home, she could tell me that she would miss me, that was very nice. Laia speaks English very good. I was very happy with that, because it’s very nice when you are able to converse with your exchange partner.
Now, I’ll tell you something about the social behavior of the Spanish people compared with the Dutch. The biggest difference between the Spanish and Dutch people is that the Spanish ones don’t care about time. They don’t hurry and don’t care when they aren’t somewhere at the right time. The Spanish people are very relaxed.
Another very big difference between the Dutch and Spanish culture are the times of eating. In the morning they eat very less. They have a good breakfast at +/- 10.30. Than they finish their day at school and go home for the lunch. That’s around 15.30. Most days we went out after our “lunch” and we returned home at 20.30. They we had dinner. The lunch and dinner are both hot food, so for me it felt every day like two dinners.
