Yesterday was the start of our trip from Belgium to Milan, and it was already a great first day. In the morning we went to the airport, excited for the journey. Before boarding the plane, we spent some time at the airport where we ate a few things and relaxed while waiting for our flight. Everyone was looking forward to arriving in Italy and meeting our exchange students.
After the flight, we finally arrived in Milan. When we came out of the airport, our exchange students were already waiting for us. It was really nice to finally meet them in person after talking before the trip. Everyone went with their own exchange student and their families, which made the moment a bit exciting but also a little nervous.
Later in the evening, we all met again with the whole group. Together we went to a pizzeria. It was a very nice place and the atmosphere was great. Of course, we had to try real Italian pizza, and it was super delicious. We talked, laughed and got to know each other better. It was a perfect way to start the exchange and to spend time together as a group.
After dinner, everyone went back home with their exchange student. It had been a long day of traveling, meeting new people and discovering a new place, so we were all quite tired.
In the end, it was a very successful first day. We are all excited for the next days and for everything we will experience here in Milan.
