I decided to spend Christmas in Ghent.
It was not an easy decision because in Spain there is a strong tradition as to celebrate the holidays with family. All my Spanish friends here who are here as erasmus students will come back home . So I will stay here with a few Slovenian and Finnish people with which I know I'm going to enjoy much, but they do not understand the meaning of Christmas as a Spanish would do .

I have taken the decision especially considering that my Erasmus only lasts one semester. This means that a month after Christmas I will come back home. Thinking about this seemed to me a waste of money to go home for Christmas when I go to see both my family and my friends a month later.

And I saw the option to stay in Ghent for Christmas as an opportunity to use my Erasmus here in a different way and having something to remember for life.
