First day of work

Day 27/10/2013
Today was a exhausting and laborious day. In the morning we ate the breakfast in the Fontaine Hotel and later we went to start the work in a classroom where we would work this days. First of all, we started with an individual presentation of each other. Just after we splited with our groups of work. We began the work and all of us tried to contribute as much as possible. Just one hour later we started with the presentations of each group. We only had time to do three team presentations because we went to have lunch. Some of us were really confused because we didn't know where and what to eat. Some of the catalans team were not hungry because it was too early to have lunch. In the afternoon we continued with the presentations. After finishing the presentations we carried on working with the group until 6 o'clock, the time when to have dinner. Then we came to the hotel and had a shower. The feelings are good, at least for now. We hope that it continues this way.

Day 26/10/2013 Arriving to Liepaja


The adventure of Media Culture 2020 started on Saturday 26th of October at 5am. At that time was when all the catalans students met at the Aeroport del Prat. The plane took off at 6.55am on his way to Frankfurt. There we would take another plane that would bring us to Riga the capital of Latvia. We finally arrived in Latvia at around 1pm.  After 3 hours of plane we were all hungry and decided to go to eat something in Pilot's Club, a Restaurant near the Airport of Riga. There we enjoyed a good meal although we had to wait a little bit. Afterwards we went to meet with our teammates from England, Netherlands and Finland in front of the airport. The bus was waiting for us, so we got on it and spent more than three hours in it to reach Liepaja. The bus driver left us next to Fontaine Hotel, where we would be staying the following two weeks. We settled in the hotel and walked to a restaurant called Pastnieka Maja, there we had the welcoming dinner with all the Media Culture participants. Finally we went back to the hotel in order to recover energy for the fisrt day of work.
