city at the same time. The trip by boat to Buyukada island was an opportunity to

second biggest administrative building in the world. After that they went to the
mountain where they visited the Draculas castle and took part in the annual fair
organised by Transylvanian shepherds in autumn. There, teachers and students
ate traditional food and listened to traditional music while communicating with
people around and exchanging opinions about their cultures and traditions. On
Monday, back to school, European teachers held English lessons with the
Romanian and guest students and in the afternoon all students involved in the
project worked in teams and created PPT materials about the culture and
traditions in their own countries, then they delivered the presentations in front of
a large audience. The next day they went to the mountains, took the cable car
to 2,300 m high and hiked on the Bucegi plateau to the Cross from Caraiman
and back. Before going home, they visited also the Ialomicioara cave, which is
one of the most spectacular caves from my country. Next day everybody visited
