Did you like the exchange..??

• Yeah..!!! It was fantastic..I had a lot of fun, it was an amazing experience..!

• Mmh..not very much..

Did you like the welcome party..??What about it..??

• I liked it very much..there was a lot of food..there were also some fried things cooked by the Dutch students..I don’ t know what they were, but they were very good!

• The Dutch fried some things that they had bought in a fast food..I hated them..In my opinion our party was better..Italian food is the best..!

What was your family like..??

• They were all very funny..They drank a lot..!! My partner was very nice, and her parents spoke a lot with me..they were very friendly..!!

• At the beginning they seemed nice …during the week I talked a little bit to her father but her mother was very quiet..the last day I had a row with them..

How did you go to school..??

• I went to school by bike..I lived near the school, so it took only about ten minutes..

• I went to school by bike..I had to cycle for fourty five minutes every morning..it was exhausting. My partner didn’ t want to take a Bus even if the ticket cost only about 15 cent…We took it only twice because I felt ill..

What did you usually do at night..??

• I had pre-parties at another Dutch girl’ s house every night..the Dutch drank a lot..They made strange cocktails, then we usually went out to a pub until two or three o’ clock..It was amazing..!!

• I didn’ t go out very often..when I went out I usually arrived very late because my partner lived far from Uden and I stayed a little time with my friends..then I had to come back home earlier then the others..

What did you do on Saturday afternoon before going to Time

Out?

• I went to Eindhoven with my partner and other Dutch and Italian people..I did a lot of shopping and I ate a strange but delicious ice cream with everything inside..

• I didn’ t go out..I stayed alone in my bedroom and I read a book..my partner never came to speak to me..It was very sad and boring..I slept for all the rest of the afternoon..

Did you miss your family??

• No..I didn’t..I didn’t want to come back home because I had found a lot of friends and I didn’t have to go to school…

• Yes..I did…I missed my family very much and I wanted to come back home…In my opinion going to school would have been better than staying in Holland…

What about the relationship between you and your

partner??

• At the beginning we didn’t get on very well..We also had a row…but then we got to know each other…And we became friends…

• I didn’t get on very well with her...we never talked..And we quarrelled sometimes..
