Greetings from Madrid!

It is our first entry here, so don´t know where to start. First things first...

Our flight went well, we got in madrid, and our coordinator was in the airport waiting for us. He helped us to find a cheap hostel(12 euros a night), and after that we checked some advertisements of rooms to stay, and we were lucky to find one apartment which is in good location and had 2 rooms available. Everything went well, and the next day we moved in:)

To speak about our practice, well we have nothing to say, because everything didn´t go so well as it seemed. They told us that nobody speaks english here, and our spanish is not enough to start practicing. So we have to go to lessons with third year students, which is total waiste of time, because proffesors speak quickly and we are just picking up some of the words from sentences, which has nothing to do with improving our language skills. They told us we could start practice from the 19-th of April, and we do hope it will be so, because the more we are away from the practice, the harder it will be for us. we need to come home same time as we planned, cause we need to do one practice in Estonia also.

So if you are planning to go abroad, think twice, and study all the opportunities, because problematic things will come out when itś too late.
We had criterion that we need to take basic course of spainh as we did, but now feeling that we should speak and understand perfectly spanish to get a good experience.

To end this letter, we have to say that city, people, living and weather is perfect, but the most important thing why we are here is not on the level it should be. But we hope the problem will be solved, because we would really like to get knowledge of spainsh possibilities for physical therapy.

Hold the fingers grossed for us :)
Hasta Luego
