Finally it is here. The long-awaited trip to New York, we are feeling embodiment of the American dream very close. For every single student one of us, living in the US, Canada, Bahamas or the Bermuda could join our great experience. For some the flight was more or less close to our travel destination: Airport Newark in New Jersey. The first students arrived at 8am. New York time, the following members arrived spread over the day. Without any delay attained in the great airport, there was a good amount of time offered to enjoy the best things, USA can serve: Burger Doughnuts and Ice Cream. YUMMY!

In groups of six we have been driven then to the hotel. To spare time until the last exchange students came, we went to a known Sandwich store and had a great time to learn to know about each other closer. Also an alternative was to go and get coddled in the warm water of the pool. It was for free to go to have a nice workout after the gym later in the day.

Welcome Dinner with Belo USA!

Soon the day went by and a delicious dinner was served, from salad to chicken, from buns to delicious cookies. After that, we got well informed by our coordinator about how the trip will go. We are very excited for our New York City tomorrow!
