Shaun-Paul Lopez

Dear Miss Julie Kiraly / Sir / Mdm,

My given name is Shaun-Paul Lopez and I am from the tropical island city state of Singapore. My coursemates call me "Shaun" and I am in Budapest for the ICC (International Coaching Course) in TF for 11 weeks (yes... only 11 weeks 😭), where I will be learning more about coaching and about my sport, Fencing. This is my first time living abroad and I am very excited to be here!

In Singapore, I run a fencing club and am a fencing coach. In my previous life ... I used to be a Substitute Teacher in a Secondary School (3 years) and then became a Flight Steward working for Singapore Airlines (also 3 years). All the flying and travelling I did in my previous job left in me a 'wanderlust'. So it's no wonder that I jumped at the chance to study here in Budapest when the application for the course came up.

As this is my first time living overseas, it is a perfect opportunity for me to learn more about other cultures and make friends from all around the world. I personally feel that one can never have too many friends!

It would be great if I am given a chance to join in any activities organised by the school or students in my free time with the hope of being able to bond with not only my coursemates but also the local Hungarians and other Erasmus students.

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

Please let me know if this introduction and motivation is adequate or it needs reworking.☺

Yours Sincerely,

Shaun-Paul Lopez

Latvian visitors

Nice to meet you "Latvia guys " you are nice men, we went to the party yesterday, you taught us a lot of how to drink alcohol. It's really happy for us ,although My face was really red(really really red!!) ,but I enjoyed the time with you. Thank you so much "Julie" because you always show where is the way to our home, even it is 2 or 3 am ... you always accompany us (ex. Miss last subway, team and bus....) we were unlucky guys , but I think it's destiny ,because we have more time to chat and know each other

Mr. Máté Rozmán

Dear Erasmus,

I would like to apply to the Mentor position what you advertise.

I chose the position because I would like to make new friendships with foreign people. I also would like to know their culture. I would like to learn a couple of term in their mother tongue and make connection in the near future.

Right now I have a B2 euroexam language exam but I would like to get a higher exam such as TOEFL. In my opinion this opportunity would help me to reach my goal.

I think about myself as a very open minded very friendly and patient person. Budapest has many opportunities and places to explore so I would like to have fun with my new friends

Yours Faithfully,
Mate Rozman

Dear Erasmus Student,


I applied for this mentor program, because I would like to make new friendships and I'm very curious about how are these sport organizations work in foreign countries and I wonder what kind of education the sport managers get for example to improve. This program is a very good opportunity to use English every day.


Best wishes,
Peter Hill

Trip to Velence

Today, We went to lake Velence with Julie for fun, when we go to tram station, we just realize it‘s not working today, so we went to train station to take the bus, we late again. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea , so we can go beach anytime, it is easy for us to see the ocean. But here is surrounded by the land , so it isn't that simple to see the ocean here like TW. To my surprise , the lake was sea in here. But it doesn’t matter, I just lie down beside the lake and took sunbathe all day , although I can’t remember most of the people name , I chat with two turkish. They are stay here just for 2 month, it’s short.
