Sunday: Everybody
arrived to Tahiti in the same airplane in about six o’clock. We were very
welcomed and pleased that we had finally arrived. They gave us necklaces of
flowers. After we packed up our stuff and been welcomed to the family we went
to the beach.
think we all went to bed early that night.
Monday: We all
gathered at the school at half past eight. All the students went to the sports
hall where we sat down and enjoyed dance performances of different kinds. It
was like nothing we’d ever seen before, and it was an amazing experience. After
that all the exchange students from the different countries had a presentation
about their country. After lunch we all took the bus to the capital of
Tahiti, Papeete, and went to the
Territorial Assembly. There we had a guided tour of the Assembly and later we
had a quiz of what we had learned from the tour. Later we went to the park
nearby and played beach soccer. It was really fun and games until Julia
accidently hurt her knee. She was alright though and walked the next day.
Tuesday: We started
the day with a gathering at the harbour. After that we took the ferry to the
sister island of Tahiti, Moorea. When we came to Moorea the bus wait on us and
then drive us to the other side of the island. When we walk on the bus a boat
wait on us and drive us to a smaller island where we stay the rest of the day.
On the smaller island we swim with sharks and stingrays.
After we have been at the island we took the ferry
back to Tahiti and go home to our host families.
Wednesday: The day
started early at the school with flowers everywhere and happy faces. You could
try out different activities such as playing the ukulele, playing a sort of
drum, braiding with straw and learning a traditional dance. After lunch we
played memory with different languages, played a Basque running game and
learned to dance. There were 3 different dances with different choreography and
everyone did their very best. It was really fun to see non dancers killing it
on the dancefloor. Me and my teacher Johan both ran some kind of race, with 10
kilos of fruit on our shoulders. He finished at first place and I finished
second.
Thursday: We all
started the day with lessons about different addictions. It was lessons about
addiction to drugs, food, internet and love. After the lessons we ate at the

walking we arrived on top of the mountains and the view vas amazing.
