Chapter IX - "The ECOC Maribor"

Our trip to Maribor started at 5.45am, really really early...everyone with sleepy eyes and barely talking. 

When we arrived, we met with the reponsible for the Volunteers of the Cultural Capital of Culture, and the she took us to a presentation with the responsible of the Marketing of the events. They talked about the events in general, the most important ones, where they had or will take place, and after about the volunteer work that had been done, and how did it worked, enunciating all the steps that the volunteers had to do. Three of the volunteers also talked about their experience. 


After lunch, we had a task to do: fill some questionnaires about ECOC Maribor, with tourists and day-trippers answers. It was dificult to do all of them, because the people runned away, or they were impolite, or they simply ignored us. But we found some nice people from Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Russia and also PORTUGAL (but they didn't fill in because they were in a hurry, not to be late). 


At 6pm we finally left Maribor, and arrived at 10pm. Unfortunately we are going late to bed, because of the video and the preparation of the final presentation. 

Good night people, see you in 9 hours ;)
