The arrival

It was on January 13, 2016, that we took the TAP flight at Lisbon aeroport for this new adventure!

Nervous, anxious, happy but already homesick...
The first plane trip without the family and the first trip without the reason "vacation". Long but good.
In good company and good to know each other better and to go in adapting to each other in this so different context from the usual.



Until May Portugal!

We arrived to the Landevetter aeroport and we were received by two students of the University of Boräs, Rosalinda and Pedro, who explained us everything and helped us in everything we needed.
We had company from the aeroport to Boräs, to get the house keys at the hotel and to home. 
That was great so we do not lose on the first day!! :p

In the following days we had the orientation days. It was great to know the University, the exams, the division of the University, the programs that we need to use and how to subscribe and participate in different activities.
And of course to know the other internacional students.

The ESN had programed different activities for us in this first days that help us alot to know better Boräs and the other students too.
On 15 of January, after the presentations they guided us on a tour to the city and explained the most important places for us to know.
After the tour we were divided in groups and we went to a Fika - fika is a essential time in the day of a swedish person and it consists on a snack with a hot drink and something sweet to eat with friends - where we met our swedish friend Max and we had the oportunity to know better our brasilian friend Julyana.

These first days were great!!!
