  • Viva Barcelona!
    Viva Barcelona! A group of Longhill students of Spanish were lucky enough to visit the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona during their recent trip to Spain. Students were based in the sun-drenched resort of Salou, in the province of Tarragona, for their stay over the Easter holidays. For many students, it was their first time abroad and also their first time on a plane – an exciting start to the trip and a relief to touch down safely at Barcelona airport. From there, it was a two hour coach trip to the hotel in the resort of Salou. Student Kaia told us, “It was a nice hotel. People - guests and staff - were really friendly and I shared a room with two other girls. It was a great opportunity to get to know people better – school friends, other students and Spanish people. People were open and friendly and seemed to be more accepting than people back home. There were some Spanish, French and Irish students staying in the hotel and they were all really nice and friendly too.” The students were impressed by how different the Spanish architecture was. “The architecture was amazing – very interesting.” Kaia told us, “The way the buildings were structured and even the flooring designs had meaning, in fact even tiny designs had meaning. We went to the Gaudi Museum and saw some of his amazing design work. It was so interesting to see how Spain is structured differently to home.” She added, “We didn’t go into any of the Gaudi buildings, but it was great to take pictures from outside and the colours everywhere were so vibrant.

It not only allows you to discover a new country with all its aspect but also to gain a more critical and comprehensive understanding of your own country and Europe in general. My Erasmus year in Istanbul provided me with the opportunity to explore the culture, the politics and the society of Turkey. Beside this, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles during my year abroad I had to overcome. These reached from integrating into the new culture and city to finding a flat and handling the complicated and extensive Turkish bureaucracy. All this positive and negative experiences completed my year in Turkey but also contributed to my personal development and understanding of our world. The following paper tries to provide a guide for future Erasmus students in Turkey. It tries to provide useful information how to minimize bureaucratic stress, unpleasant experiences (illness, misunderstandings, etc.) and, of course, to overcome the culture shock.
