Meet my fiend Patricia!

This interview I have decided to do it to my best friend. Her name is Patricia Rey and she is Spanish like me. This year is also doing an Erasmus in Milan, Italy, and I found it very interesting to interview her about it to see the differences of living this experience in different places. In addition, Patricia has come to visit me recently and I will go to visit her this weekend, so I could see a little of what she told in this interview. So let’s do it.

Interviewer: Hi Patricia! First of all say that I am very happy to do this interview because I find it very interesting that you have chosen a destination like Milan, why did you decide there?

Patricia: Thank you very much, I am delighted to do it. Well, the truth is that I doubted a lot when I had to choose a destination, in fact one of them was Munich hahaha, but finally I chose Milan because I know some Italian and so I could improve it and also because I study Architecture and Italy is a country with an impressive architecture.

Interviewer: Great decision, I really want to go to Milan this weekend. As you said in the previous question that you are improving your Italian, how is it going?

Patricia: Well, the truth is that better than I thought, I came to Milan with some basic notions but I’ve been here for three months and I can have a perfect conversation. I am very proud of me.

Interviewer: I’m glad for you! Not like me with the German … hahaha. Well I guess knowing Italian will be easier to live there, do you feel adapted?

Patricia: Well, yes, I feel very adapted to the city, I can move around Milan without Google Maps hahaha I already know the city very well. It must also be said that the city is not very big and I always move around the same areas but the truth is that knowing Italian is an advantage.

Interviewer: How lucky you are! it is a big advantage. In relation to what we are talking about, is there much difference from living in Spain to living in Italy?

Patricia: Well, my lifestyle here is very different from what it was in Spain, because I have to go to university less than in Spain and here I have a lot of free time to do whatever i want and in Spain I was in university all day, but in terms of culture there is practically no difference between spanish people and italian people i think that there are very similar so I feel like at home.

Interviewer: Yes, I also think that we are very similar. And is there more difficulty at the University of Milan or less?

Patricia: For now I don´t see the difference because I have the exams in February so I still don’t know if it is more difficult or easier, but what I  see is that I have fewer projects and classes than in Spain and I have more free time, so much Better than in Spain.

Interviewer: Much better to party and meet people hahaha, by the way have you met a lot?

Patricia: I’ve met a lot of people, I wouldn’t know how to tell you how much, but to give you an idea I had a whatsapp group that we’re like 200 persons from all over the world so imagine, it’s a lot of fun.

Interviewer: I can imagine it, in Munich it is very similar. Now to finish the interview, from one to ten, what score do you give to your Erasmus experience? 

Patricia: Definitely a ten, it can’t be better.

Interviewer: I’m glad a lot for you! Thank you very much for doing this interview, I had a great time.

Patricia: Thanks to you, I am very grateful.
