AN EXPERIENCE IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY
On September of 2016, a German girl, whose name is Marie Petters, came to my house. We had a really good time together, I think that she enjoyed a lot here.
On the one hand, she got in love with Bilbao’ s gastronomy, before going back to her country, she told me to give her some recipes of different dishes my mum had cooked for her. Her favourite word was“ delicious” or that’ s what I think, because whenever she tasted new things, everything was tasty.
Talking to her, I discovered that she fell in love with peoples’ outfits. From her point of view, Basque people have an original and quirky style which she found very interesting.
On the other hand, there were some other things she disliked, such as, students’ behaviour at school. When we were in class with them I realized that she was a bit uncomfortable; she found the place very noisy. German people are very shy and respectful, so for her, it had been an unconfortable moment.
All in all, she went back home with very good vibes, so enthusiastic to tell her friends and relatives this unforgettable adventure.
