First we went to the hotel that the teachers were staying at. My host family seemed very nice. So right after i met my hosts me the other finnish boys and our hosts went to a local grill and i ate a gyros and shortly after that i went to my hosts house. My bed was right next to my hosts bed and that was probably the only reason that i talked to him because im quite introverted.

First day we went pretty much exatly right after school ativities home and then there was an welcoming party wich was quite loud in my opinion, but the food was very good.

The seccond day we went to the beach and pretty much everyone involved in the project and i went swimming. The water was extremely salty and a bit cold, but it was still fun swimming. There was also a jumping tower about fifty meters from the shoreline and it was very fun jumping from all the storys and then we went to a little pizza place and the pizza was very good. My host spent pretty much all of the free time with talking the other finnish guys hosts and i spent pretty much all of the time with the finnish guys. Late in the evening i went to see Avengers endgame with the finnish guys and our hosts and it was really fun.

The third day we went to the island of Symi and i spent all of the time on the boat with the other finns and i found it very fun. I didn´t think that we would have so much fun and get so friendly because we didn´t know each other at all. But we really bonded had really much fun especially on the trip back. Then after that we went right back to my hosts house.

The fourth day we went to Lindos and once again spent the whole day with the other fins. After the trip the finnish guys and our hosts went to an escape room. It was difficult and we didn´t solve it but it was still really fun and after that we went to the old town and i was there until midnight. Some other finns also came there but they left about an hour before i left. When they left i felt really alone because there were alot of greek people there and they were talking to each other and then there was me a finnish guy playing on his phone alone

The fifth and last day we got a tour of the old town wich was very interesting then we went to butterflies valley and after that filerimos hill. Then the finnish guys and our hosts left the buss in a town that was about twenty minutes away than where my host lived. We went to to a small pizzeria and the food was very good. Then we walked around for about half an hour searching for something probably. Then nine guys including me went into a quite small car and i thought it was really funny. Then we spent about two hours at another finns hosts house and the greeks were out playing basketball and the finns were just inside playing games with their phones. Then in the evening there was a goodbye party which at the end everyone was hugging and crying except the finns who were stone-faced and just standing in the corner. After the party the finnish guys our hosts and a portuguese guy went to a club but we werent there for long. After that we went to the beach for some reason and that was the last day.

I had a really good time in Rhodes, but i was still really excited to come back home. I didn´t really bond with my hosts, but they were still very kind to me.
