Parent of a  student wrote after the meeting

 One late October afternoon  our  telephone rang . Some message was sent  and called us to be  hurry up, because our Transylvanian student-guests arrived. The same night, the mobile rang again: and it was announced that  the plane of the  the Italian students landed successfully.
We were a little excited and went to the restaurant of Halaszkert  to wait for our guests and guessing who would be ours We were thinking about .how we  would be able to communicate with him or her.These and countless similar questions were asked from ourselves and each other.It  was unnecessary to be nervous, because a few hours later we noticed  that our children overcame the age , the culture, language, difficulties and  obstacles, they were  laughing and talking sitting  around the table.

There were 10 students who came from Romania,Szekelykeresztur,  10 children from  Italy , Lanciano.
During this short period of time we could  learn about each other, each other's customs and culture,and good  friendships were formed. There is a very big positive aspect and a  very powerful force in shaping the community of this kind of student exchange programme and this was necessary   in this fast-running world, our  school can be proud of having taken advantage of this opportunity
During these few days, there was no lack of programmes, time passed very  quickly.. One day,we were walking in the Royal castle of Buda admiring the panorama of the city, the next day the children were in  the unique cave bath in  Miskolctapolca enjoying the water and the special environment.  We visited  the Grassalkovich castle in Gödöllő and then we went to he Lazar brothers,  Domony valley  to see the  unforgettable horse presentation.
Of course, at home, here , in Gyömrő, our guests had  also  many attractions: the Reformed Church Teleki Castle, Folk museum and the beautiful  lake. Returning back to the school , everybody was invited by a folk artist Judith Szmelo into the mysteries of gingerbread ornamentation.
"Theatre premiere was  also included in the programme, Matthias of Geese  was performed by the pupils of 5th classes and it had a tremendous success.
IT WAS an  "international cooking festival" last evening at school. The teams had wooden spoons, pots and everyone prepaired   their own country specific dishes . We cannot list the so many kinds of delicious dishes,  just a few of them : stuffed cabbage, hominy, spaghetti, pancakes, fish soup ..

 We spent  very meaningful and memorable days  together, and behind all these were our parents, we can only guess how much work and effort they  did for us and our guests.

We  visited the birthplace of King Matthias and saw  Fadrusz  Janos, magnificent  statue of the great king.and were impressed by the beauty of  the great works in  Transylvanian Gothic church of St. Michael.

Next day we arrived at our destination to  Szekelykeresztúr, but first , we met our Italian friends at the airport and they joined us.  We were welcomed with love by the host families :It was good to see each other again.

Our meeting lasted for a week and during that time we visited a Straw Hat Creek Köris museum. We went to  Korond, Segesvar and  to Marosvásárhely .We also visited the famous  Dracula's castle in Transylvania in Brasov by the guiding of our Transylvanian teachers. and our Italian teacher, aunt Eszter translated to the Italian students as well-

The programme ended with a gala evening where we took part in common dance and we  all got   a beautiful straw hat,  as a gift,  which we wear with pride! In fact ,we  are looking forward to wearing our presents all  summer.

To say good bye, was in tears..We got  a lot of experience from  this   Comenius project. We must thank to the school management, teachers, parents,to make it possible to fulfil our dreams and this dream trip. The sponsors also helped a lot and now we would like to thank them for their help:  Baranyi Pal  CBA , Gyömrő Gyongye, Rehor Csaba, parents and our dear busdriver, Földesi Jozsef, who took us through  Transylvania safely. We hope and expect that we will be able to continue these meetings and student exchange trips.
