Since our stay in Zaragoza is ending, I will write about my whole experience here. When we first arrived, we were all lost, and we thought that Zaragoza was an enormous city. The buses were very complicated for us, but we got used to it after a week of living here.
My classmates and I were living in the same apartment. Initially, I was scared that we would be arguing about everything and wouldn’t get along, but as weeks passed, I noticed that living together only got us closer. I will never forget the arguing in the kitchen about what we would eat or who would clean the dirty dishes鈥攖he nights we played games and made jokes at the kitchen table. Sometimes, when we were too lazy to cook, we just bought pizzas in the grocery store and baked them, and that was enough for us, and we were all happy. We explored the city together and even took a trip to Barcelona on the weekend. The weeks went by quickly because we had fun and made new friendships. I still remember meeting our new classmates for the first time and thinking about how we would get along because they didn’t speak good English. At first, it was hard to understand them, but the more we talked, the more comfortable they became with us and speaking English. The friendships we made will stay with us for a long time. I loved every part of this city because everywhere you go, the people welcome you nicely. The thing I liked the best was the parks and the evening walks in the park where I could only hear birds chirping and ducks quacking and see people laughing and having a good time.
Tomorrow, we are going back to Slovenia, and I’m happy to see my family and friends, but I’m sad because this month in Zaragoza significantly impacted my life.
