Finally we got installed in our rooms but there was plenty of stuff to do. The first one, FOOD. Two starving 20 something years old guys with no food at all, so as there were not that many people around at that moment we decided to try to find a supermarket. The first one we managed to find was a LIDL, we got our supplies for a couple of days which includes obviously healthy erasmus food such as pizzas, burgers and pasta.
The subsequent days were a non-stop of "nice to meet yous" as everyday a new person was coming until around the first days of september the whole accomodation was full. Around 60 students from different nationalities full of excitement at the same time as fear of the unknown. The first month was a lot about that, getting to know everybody and specially through the parties, because like it or not, for a few it was difficult to open up to a other person at the beginning wether it was because of the language or just because of the shyness. But when alcohol is in between it helps a lot and everybody loses its shyness and speaks all the languages fluently. There were people from everywhere Spain, Portugal(these guys will be mentioned more than a few times while my blog will be focused on my time as Erasmus, because believe me, they are worth to be mentioned), Germany Hungary, Rumania, China, Italy, France, Austria, Australia, Poland and the list goes on.
Now after written a couple of paragraphs I realize that I don't remember so much about the first month, at least not so much details. I do remember though a lot of drinking, because that is what a erasmus is about, partying. During the first month at least twice a week we were out partying in the city, in the same accomodation which in my opinion were the best parties in the city or in other student accomodation. A thing worth mentioning is that if any of my readers wants to go to Esbjerg as a student, believe me, sct. Georgs Kollegiet is THE place to be. As mentioned I don't remember a lot of specific details about the month of september, but there was one special "party" that made my think: Oh yeah, I am really on a Erasmus! That was sportsday or sportsdag as the danes would say. You may ask yourself, and what is that? Well sportsday is basically doing all kinds of sports(football, baseball, voleyball...) starting early in the morining but with one special condition, almost everybody started to drink in the morning non-stop during the whole day. And I thought what the hell, let's do it. Actually, my first football match I did not even remember it... A lot of other games were played before going out or during the party nights like beer pong(champions with my friend), ring of fire, the piramyd and a bunch of others.
I haven't had that much time to write because I having exams but a wanted to write a short post just mentioning a bit more about my time as erasmus. Also to mention that in a couple of days I will be flying back to Esbjerg and stay there for 5 days and re-experience my time there, which I am looking forward too.
