Tahiti
Thanks to the Erasmus+ project, this year I have had the opportunity of
travelling to Tahiti with three other students like me.
We stayed there for a week with a host family, so we had the chance of
living a normal Tahitian lifestyle.
The journey started in the airport of Bilbo; from there we had to take a
plane to Paris, then another one to Los Angeles and a final one to Papeete
(Tahiti).
We travelled for almost one day and a half, but it was very funny as one of
us had never ever flown before, so she was really nervous!!
When we reached to Tahiti they made us a welcome with their typical dances,
and they also put us some flower crowns and necklaces.
After meeting all the students from the project I went to my host’s home.
There she introduced me to her family and after having lunch they took me to a
local market where she explained me about their culture. She also showed me how
there are a lot of islands and how each of them has different traditions;
dances, clothes,...
The second day we went to school, there I finished meeting all the Erasmus+
students and I also had to present my country with the students that came with
me from the Basque Country.
The TV also came that day to record the school, students and teachers.
During the week, the school took us to a lot of beautiful places; we went
to Moorea (an island close to Tahiti) where we had the chance of swimming with
sharks and manta rays; we also went to a spectacular inner garden with lots of
flowers and a pond full of fishes where we played a game similar to memory… ;
and they also took us to a park where we played football for almost all the
afternoon…
My favorite day was the Polynesian day; we did not go anywhere but I had a
lot of fun.
That day the school had prepared some activities for the students of all
the school. In the morning we learned how to do flower crowns, how to prepare
raw fish, how to play the ukulele and the drums...
And in the afternoon we played to different games from each country.
It was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely repeat it again!! By Naroa López De Abetxuko

Tahiti is so far from my own country...and it is very different in many things, for example the food: Before going there I had never eaten raw fish, I thought I wasn't going to like it, but now, I know it is DELICIOUS. People from Tahiti are different too, they are more open than here , I made a lot of friends. The island is very different too, the plants, the mountains, the colour of the sea... the beaches. I really enjoyed it !" By Martzeli Perurena
"Going to Tahiti was an amazing experience. I have to say that what I expected was ... going to the beach every day and having good weather. Obviously, Tahiti was not exactly like that.
