1. This Comenius project trip to London was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. I
had a great time thanks to the members of the home school. I was impressed by the warmth and
kindness they showed us. Personally, I felt like I was part of the family, an amazing family of
dedicated teachers as well as parents and pupils.
As far as the impact of the project, it’s needless to say that we enjoyed a really good project
development environment. From my point of view, every school had amazing representatives and
presentations that truly showed us the huge involvement rate of this project.
As I said before, everyone around us was nice and welcoming, trying to make our stay as
enjoyable as possible. They also gave us some unforgivable times that meant a lot to me. One thing I
remember the best is the night we walked past the Tower and on the Tower Bridge, having dinner in a
traditional English Pub. The evening went really good, conversation flowing, accompanied by tasty
food.
And now I hit another key part of this experience: the food. The thing I enjoyed the most was
the traditional English breakfast served every morning at the hotel, as well as the Twinning English
Breakfast, one of the most delicious varieties of tea in you can find in England.
Some of our partners may say they found this trip quite disturbing due to the typical
environment of London, but I can’t imagine anything better than it. London was, is and forever will be
my dream city. The only place in this whole world I would move to from Romania.
