Huh. what should I say now that was my life first youth exchange what I participate in. So I stared the travel with big hopes... and everything gone well.

We arrived in time to Porto Airport. the hosting group leaders caught us up at the airport and take us to the exchange place.

The project involved disabled youngsters from 6 country. At the first day we had a city rally which was really good we had to find to stations to get points... of course at the end everybody wins.

during the first day we had some get to know each other games, and we started to work on the theme what was fight against the stereotypes. The end of the day, we had the welcome party.

We each day had intercultural nights when country youngsters cook for the others. and also they have to organize the whole evening program with some game. the first day was Portugal night. we get some really delicious food.

In the Spanish day in the morning we went and see the Atlantic Ocean what I see first time in my life then. at the night we had some great fun during the ABBA karaoke. It was really funny. The euroyouthvision song contest. :P The audience vote the Hungarian group to the 1st place.

In the French night we played tour de France the big French knowledge game and get some original French elite restaurant milieu.

In the Italian day at the morning we had outside workshop and hiking and after Italian food... hmmm of course we get original pasta and meet and...

In the Hungarian day we had some small theatre workshop where everybody get the chance to improve him or herself thoughts about stereotypes. and in the evening they get Hungarian food... a lot gulyás soup, pancake... and marhapörkölt... :P so traditional Hungarian food.

In the last day we have many things to do we visited Porto and some traditional winemaker factory... it was really interesting to see that colossal barrels they were 6 times taller than me...
