Monday, the seventh day

In the morning we gathered to the school, where the first plan was to listen to and make the presentations about our country. Of course, as always, first we had to wait for about an hour, not knowing if anything is happening or not.
In there timetable there was 3 hours for 5x20 presentations. Seems enough? Eventually we didn't listen to the Portugese students' presentation, as we had run out of time. But the performances that we had time to listen to were all in all funny and interesting.

Italy had made 2 funny sketches and a fantastic Italian song, that we had a bit later an opportunity to sing as well.(still, in English)

The Polish students had made a little introduction of their home area, but unfortunately it was really hard to understand them. Then they showed us a video about maturity ball, the school event that our students will have an opportunity to participate in, as well. The ball seemed really a fantastic event, but the video was a bit too long.

Turkey had made their presentations about the main sights in Istanbul. We could also see panorama videos of these places, that made the presentations quite exciting. They also danced typical Turkish dances and they even wore their national costumes. After that, they also gave some Turkish delights and souvenirs to us.

After eating and waiting there was time to go to Viseu, the county center, to see the town and visit a huge shopping center. First, as everybody was already a bit tired of churches and excursions, we had about an hour of free time in the town center. We had to meet each other at half past 5, but Aida came at 6 o'clock and we were just waiting for her for half an hour. She had had some problems with the bus, but we were still upset.

Then we went to a shopping centre and had 1,5 hours of free time there. First it seemed to us, that it was absolutely too little, but actually the shop wasn't that impressive and huge as it seemed.

On this day we had an opportunity to eat at home. We had 4 different types of meat and 6 cakes!!!
After that we went outside with the others and had a nice night:)
