The first week was a very interesting and fascinating one! Especially for the foreign students, who used to enjoy new country’s atmosphere without their family and friends around. New environment seemed to be unusual at the beginning because of new people, various cultures & different languages. We did not know what to expect from being here for a couple of weeks before meeting with other students. Thanks to the help of Dutch student buddies, we started to discover this marvellous city!
Everybody was waiting for the introduction week and everything started from the 16th of February!
The introduction week begun with an international dinner during which we met each other for the first time (everyone presented its own country with national food and drinks). We had a lot of fun while communicating with each other and with teachers and learning new table games. One the next day we had a puzzle route through the city of Rotterdam followed by a delicious diner in a real Dutch “poffertjeskraam”. We tried abnormally small, but very delicious Dutch pancakes!
Our 3rd day together was the most exciting day of the intro week: we went out without teachers to the beach of Hoek van Holland. It was extremely windy and cold. But fortunately, we had each other to warm up! After a few group assignments we went to a cafe and had a wonderful dinner! We continued getting to know each other and we felt like a family. We didn’t want to lose this feeling, so we decided to continue the party in the city.
This was the first but not least week we spent together!
To be continued..
