After a long journey on three trains, we finally arrived in Pescara on Wednesday 17th September. In the evening we eventually got the opportunity to meet up again and get to know the city during a treasure hunt.
The following days, we enjoyed various activities: We did a workshop at the CLAP-museum, which is one of two comic museums in Italy. There we learned to draw a face with the help of basic geometrical shapes. We had to overcome our fears as we went sailing and canoeing to explore the forces in an applied physics course and could be proud of ourselves afterwards.
While visiting the school we gained insights in the Italian school system, chemical experiments and the prevailing stereotypes about Italians and Austrians.
Although we had pizza for dinner every day, we didn’t get sick of it. We spent a lot of time with our Italian friends and collected lots of unforgettable memories. When it was eventually time to say goodbye to our newly gained friends, we boarded the train sadly, but are thankful for this wonderful experience.
Thanks a lot to Prof. Stadlbauer and Prof. Wiesmayr for joining us and planning the trip!
