October 12th - Wednesday

12/10 Wednesday, our 3rd day

The day of the 'Firsts'

We woke up together in the matraz (we are sleeping together ;)) at 6:45 and our mother cooked our breakfast, which was virsli with mustard and roll. Then we walked down the stairs to catch the bus, which took us to school. There we met the others in 13.b and at 8 o´clock we started our tour with our special guides Laci Spaci. All the 800 students were staring at the 'foreigners' and that´s why Sara taught Mimi how to say 'Hvað ertu að glápa?', and Mimi to Sara 'Ne nézz!?'.


Laci showed us all the school, even the roof! The Icelanders met the Principal who greeted them. That day she was very well-dressed. In the meantime the Hungarians had their very interesting classes. Then at 11:45 we had our first lunch together at school and tried the strangest thing: The pink gabbage salad. In the morning Kati taught the 'jó-' words like 'jó napot', 'jó estét' and of course 'köszönöm', which we could use during the 'Discover Zalaegerszeg' program which started at 2. The Icelanders formed 3 groups of 4 and got a map of the town with 7 stages. Some people say that a 'certain group' got lost but we don´t actually know which one...

They also say that somebody, who should have been waiting for the first group to arrive was just having a very delicious cappuccino, in Plaza. Luckily during the competition noone had to use the Hungarian emergency number because no one of the Hungarians could exactly remember it. This competition was very good for the 'strangers from the small island', to be able to find McDonalds :) Everybody did very well and some groups better than the others. The boys were rushing into Plaza to Mimi first, ten the group of Sara with a big smile and then finally the group of two teachers and two students. The last team took the first place and got the 'Cherry Queen' as a prize.

Then we were discussing for a long time how to organize our first evening. We decided to 'keep it simple' /e-twinning/ and be at 7 at Plaza again. So we came home and guess what? We had dinner. It was spaghetti which Sara really liked. Again we didn´t miss the bus and arrived to Plaze on time where the others were giving pizza, but we were full of our mother´s food. After a while we went down to Joy Café to have some hot chocolate which was actually chocolate-soup and it took a long time to drink it. Of course the others were having all kinds of drinks, we mean... soups ;)



We started to study each others languages, starting with the basic words... now we can say very useful words like 'haldaj' (the oil of the fish) or 'hörkukvendi' (though woman). Then we sat in the circle and we had the idea of playing 'whispering the words'. Only two words had arrived: 'Klósettseta' and 'frystikista' but not any Hungarian one. Then we suddenly saw that Hjördís and Kati were getting tired so we all decided to go home just to let them have their beauty sleep.
Again the two of us were lying on the matraz which by the way sounds like walking on the snow when we move.


Saría and Mimike :)
