Interviews we had with Eramus Students
Piotr and Janus
Last week (the second week of December - how times flies!), Mary, our teacher, invited two Polish Eramus students to our class to come into contact with foreign students talking English. Their names were Piotr and Janus. They told us about Polish customs and their hobbies. Piotr told us that he lives in a flat with eight other students, all of different nationalities! When we asked him if he liked Galician food he said that since he had come to Vigo, for the first few months squid (calamares) was the only food that he ate because he knew what it was on the menu. Now he is tired of eating squid! Janus plays several sports but not baseball because he thinks he doesn't have the right constitution. The students spoke about the food from Poland. Their favourite Polish dishes are borsch which is a soup made from beetroot and pies made with pastry filled with onion, cheese and other things.
They both said that Spanish girls are beautiful, but Polish girls have blue eyes and blond hair ...
We found the Polish students' visit very interesting. And the course too ..., of course.
Adriana
Adriana is a Polish girl who is living in Vigo since September. She is on the Eramus Program of university students. She studied English Philology and now she's a teacher of English and she is doing her research on legal translation. She would like to learn Spanish but she hasn't had much opportunity to practise because she's living with two other Polish girls.
She came here to Vigo because she always wanted to come to Spain and she had the possibility of three cities to choose from: Zaragosa, Madrid and Vigo, which was the only city on the coast. So she came to Vigo, but she knew nothing about the city. When she arrived in Vigo she came with a friend and they had a volunteer student, Martin, who helped them with things like looking for an apartment, opening a bank account etc.
Now she's living in Plaza de la Industria and even though she isn't very sporty she loves walking in the city and she never takes the bus. Adriana likes Vigo and its weather and she loves fish very much. But she misses her family in Pozmon. She told us that at Christmas, it is Polish tradition to put twelve different dishes on the table and that her grandmother cooks small pies made with pastry (a bit like empanadillas, perhaps). The Polish love carp and borsht. They only drink wine on New Year's Eve. They always put an extra plate for a person that can come ... maybe this year it could be Adriana.
