The end of summer was tough. It hurt, and I didn’t even expect it. At least not when I arrived. Those two weeks were filled with laughter and unforgettable experiences. I met so many amazing people with whom I connected even better than with my own classmates, despite the fact that we came from completely different countries and cultures. Even as I write this now, I feel like crying. Although this may sound a bit melancholic, I can promise you one thing: this summer experience is something you’ll never forget.
The first day when we arrived in Antwerp was a bit strange. We settled into our accommodation and then had a brief introduction. They gave us some time to unpack and rest, and then we headed out for dinner at a restaurant. However, dinner didn’t end until after 10 p.m., and by that time, everyone was already extremely tired. Everyone seemed very nice, but naturally, we were all exhausted, and I didn’t know anyone yet.
