I had an enjoyable time in Cyprus, where I met a nice host family and participated in various activities. Some highlights included swimming at the beach, trying traditional Cypriot foods like souvlaki and halloumi cheese, and spending time with new friends. While a couple weekends were less eventful than hoped, overall the trip was a very positive experience that I didn't want to end.
2. 27th September Sunday
◦ I am in Cyprus! I was waiting for this day so long and finally it came. Im at home of my partner now and I
met my host family. They are very nice. I like talking with them.
3. 28th September Monday
◦ We had activities at school today. We built Lego robots and did first task during Lego
workshops. In the afternoon I spent time with Paris . He is so cute.
4. 29th September Tuesday◦ I liked that day because swimming is my passion and we swam that day so I felt very nice. We
were at the beach. After swimming, we went to a restaurant so I tried kebab with chicken and I
really liked it. Now we are at home, and we are playing the Monopoly with Paris and his friends.
This is my favorite board game so I'm very happy.
5. 30th September Wednesday
◦ We programmed Lego robots today and then participated in lessons. I don't like going to
school so I'm really happy when we went home. Paris told me that I must put on my swimsuit
because we were going to his friend - Charalambos, to swim in his swimming pool. I was
surprised because this pool was really big. We tried traditional Cypriot meat - souvlaki. I really
liked it and I want this meat to be eaten so eagerly in Poland as well. I also met a fantastic girl
Evridika with whom I spent a nice time. We came back home late in the evening and we went to
bed.
6. 1st October Thursday
◦ That day we didn't go to school so I could sleep a bit longer. I was in a restaurant with the
family. Yesterday, I tried souvlaki so that day I wanted to try something new. I ate traditional
Cypriot cheese. We were on the main shopping street in Nicosia but I didn't want to buy
anything so we went home and I was little bored. I hoped that the next day would be better.
7. 2nd October Friday
◦ I liked that day very much. Why? Because of the beach and sea. I really enjoyed my ice cream
because the shop assistant, a really nice man, gave us 6 scoops of ice cream instead of 3 for
which we paid. It was really nice of him. After we ate our ice creams, we went for lunch. When
we got home I was really happy because I got a sweatshirt from Paris' mom. After lunch we were
on the birthday party of Marina. She had a birthday cake with the Peppa Pig drawn on it. Now
I'm sitting with Mhidia in our room.
8. 3rd and 4th October 2015 Saturday,
Sunday
◦ Waking up on Saturday morning, I thought this would be the best weekend of my life, but as it
turned out we were doing nothing interesting. We were in the restaurant on Saturday and I
thought that the situation would change but nothing exciting happened and we stayed at home
almost all day. Sunday was nearly the same as the previous day - nothing happened except I
met with Alicja and Zuzia in the cafe. The boys talked with each other so we had time to talk.
Now I'm sitting in the room and I am a little worried because I wanted this weekend to turn out
to be better.
9. 5th October Monday
◦ Waking up in the morning I realized that there were only three days to go left. That day passed
fairly quickly at the school. We had Lego workshops, programmed robots and designed our
robots. When we got home we ate lunch and we walked the dog. I talked to Paris and we
returned home. Then I had time off and then we drove to Petros' home. There I met Alicja and
we had time to talk. I became little closer with Petros and his lovely sister. After dinner we went
home and we were watching TV - I did not understand a single word.
10. 6th October Tuesday
◦ That day - it was shopping time - something that I like most. We visited many shops, and we
spent most of our free time in one of them. At school we received certificates for finishing our
Lego course. When we got home, we sat together with Mhidia and we had an amazing
afternoon. Mhidia turned out to be very pleasant person. We talked until late at night and really
liked her. At the end of the day I started to pack my luggage and say goodbye to the family. I
will miss Mhidia with whom I spent most of my time in Cyprus. I was a bit sad but still I was glad
I was going back to Poland.
