Our highschool has been invited by the Socrates National Agency to travel to Finland, to attend a Conference on Adult Education. One of the teachers from Melide, José Tomás, went there, and took part in the speeches, cultural visits, and so on...
He met teachers from all over Europe: it was nice to have breakfast together with a woman from Turkey, lunch with a Belgian man, and dinner with people from France, the UK or Italy. Of course the language they used was English. 
And, apart from work, the visit to Helsinki was fantastic. It was like a trip to a very distant place, with a different light, a melancholy atmosphere...and very nice people.
