Erasmus Welcome Session

14:30 was the time. IPL central facilities was the place:

I had some trouble finding a place to park my car, so I arrived at the same time than IPL bus which transported students from Caldas da Rainha, where another campus is located.

So not much time to listen to people trying to find some spanish accent until we were driven to a building with some kind of auditorium inside. But there was a surprise waiting for us outside the building:

I was introduced to Gabriel (from Madrid), who also introduced me to Marta (basque, from Pamplona), both studying at Caldas da Rainha. The very first two of many spanish (and not spanish, of course) people to be introduced today. Then it would come Fernando (from Cantabria), Rosa (from Andorra), Álvaro, Ángel... and lots of other guys and girls whose names can't remember... It was a completely overdose of names and locations today, sorry...

So we got into the auditorium and saw some videos about the erasmus experience, looked trough the eyes of previous erasmus students. The spanish guys in the video seemed to have been scratching their belly the whole semester, I must say... They didn't help so much with their comments, but it was the funniest of all videos. 

And after that introduction, a nice time drinking some beer:

More beer will come... tonight. I'm gonna know the famous Anubis, where all the erasmus students seem to enjoy here.

See you!
