graz by night-22 november 2013

Hello!
this is the last night in Graz.... I'm very sad...
This evening I went with the family to Graz to the Christmas market...it was all wonderful:  first we walked through the Street of the city and then we went  to the "Schlossberg", the clock tower;it was fantastic Graz by night is awesome! I did the climb with the funicola, but the descent wasn't as easy: we went down on foot under the rain....but it was funny,too:)
It was a fantastic day, but a fantastic week, too: these are experience that you will never forget, they make you a better person.
                                                            bye bye!

Traditional Stiryan dances

On 21th Nov. 2013 we attended a performance of Traditional dances of Stirya (Austria) at the School of Heiligenkreuz Am Waseen. 
The concert represented the farewell evening and all of the partecipants of Comenius Project enjoyed the event (students, host families, teachers from the project which included those from Italy, Gran Canaria, Norway and Ireland).

The leaving!!!-Saturday 16 November 2013

Today is the day! I'm going to take off! I have to go to the Airport to take the plane! Yes!...
...
I'm in my bedroom, it was a tired day, but excited,too.
At ome o'clock I met with the teachers and the other guys who are in Austria with me. We had a check in and we went to the plane. We travelled from Turin to Frankfurt and then we took a plane that brought us to Graz.
When I arrived at the Graz Airport I met my "new Family", I was a Little bit nervous, but really happy, too.
I'm really excited to partecipate at this Project, and I'm going to enjoy that.

Differences between Turin and Graz

There are several differences from the Austrian culture to the Italian.
In Italy the dinner is about eight o´clock, in Austria it´s at six. I like having dinner at six, after that you have a lot of time to spend every way! The sistem of the School is different,there isn´t ´´scuola media´´, but different grades. The marks are different, the best is one,the worst is five. In Italy , if you have 1 in a test,you are in trouble!! In Italy there aren´t any locks and you don´t have to wear houseshoes,all the contrary of Austria. I love having locks, and the houseshoes are very comfortable, but I don´t like wear them at School. Anyways,I like a lot the Austrian culture
