Polish Report part 2

 I was really looking forward to visit Museum of Chocolate In  Bayonne. Visiting some chocolate museum was one of my plans to do in the future because I am gluttonous and I can eat a lot of chocolate and all other sweets.             

                When our teachers informed me that I  would vist the Museum of Chocolate I couldn’t wait for it. Suddenly this day  came. We drove to Bayonne and we started sightseeing the museum. When we walked in, we saw many things made of chocolate.  It was a beautiful view. These things looked like masterpieces and they were made of chocolate so everybody wanted to taste them.  I think that it would be hard for me to eat this, because it was looking too good and I think that it took too much effort to made them. In the museum we saw many different processes,  which  take place in the factory next to the museum. We’ve also seen how cocoa beens are collected and transported to the factories all over the world.  After sightseeing a  nice surprise was waiting for us.  We could taste some of chocolates which are produced in the factory. It was a lot of many sweet or dark chocolates and some pralines. Many of them had something added,  for example carmel, orange, nuts or chilli. I  tasted every sort of chocolates. This one which I really liked I tried more than once. We had an opportunity to take some pictures of our heads in cook suits with jar full of chocolate. After eating a lot of chocolate,  we wanted to buy some sweet souvenirs. It was very hard for us because of two reasons. There was too much good looking chocolates, and the second reason is because we’d eaten too much free chocolate and some of us couldn’t look at chocolate to the end of the day. Finally we bought some chocolates and happily we went to the bus and went to the another place.

                Visiting the museum is the sweetest memory from France, and I hope that I will see many more museums like that one.

Polish Report part 1

When I first came to the boarding school the main thought that I had was : "Wow, it's not as bad as I thought but bathrooms are shared with boys - It will be fun "
We all slept in one room( 6 girls). We had the whole building only for us. It was awesome.
Next day, when we woke up, Miss Alice came and ruined our illusion of great boarding school. She said that we had to integrate with French people, so we would live with them in the main building of this boarding school. It didn't make me happy. If we lived with them from the beginning there wouldn't be any trouble but we saw another side = private building.

The rules that were in the main boarding school were:
-Go to bed at 22 p.m.

- Get up at 6:30

-Take all stuff for the whole day ( bags ect. )

-breakfast from 7 to 8

The boarding school was closed from 8 to 17 and from 20 to 8.
The best of everything was food in the canteen. It was so delicious that I wasn't hungry.
our schedule was filled with activities.
The girls from my room ( 3 French) were so funny and nice that it was great. In the beginning I was to stay in the different room but one place was empty do I asked If I can sleep with them. They didn't know English but I know a little French so we managed to communicate.
The boarding school is a good solution for all students that didn’t live in Mont-de Marsan. It is also a good place for integration. but there are two things that every guest must remember : you must know French and If you know it it's just wonderful like in Polish school when everybody talks about every topic. The second stuff is that you must get used to. Then you wouldn't say anything bad about the boarding school.

We took this photo of Szymon and the street artist on the train station in Bordeaux. Did he want to use his skills in France?

Here we have a view of the beautiful city of Mont-de Marsan.

We were on the arena where we met the bull jumper who presented to us interesting history of local bull fighting ( “ course landaise “ )

We were learning bull jumping and bull fighting.

This is the most recognizable sculpture in museum of Robert Wlerick who is patron of the school where we stayed.

Mrs Kulesza, Szymon and Róża gave on interview to the French radio

The main part of our work during the visit was preparing the Fair Trade fashion show.

The ‘tastiest’ part of entire journey for us was visit to the Museum of Chocolate in Bayonne. We had a possibility to try all kinds of chocolate from all over the world. Among others – there were Fair Trade products.

We had a lot of fun on the beach by the Atlantic ocean. Our boys went to the ocean when it wasn’t so hot.

Sightseeing in Bordeaux. We started it from two statues of turtles that were in the city center.

We were presenting our work about Faire Trade in Poland

Look at them! Don’t they look as professional models ?
