REFLECTION NOTES FROM THE PARTICIPANTS
 

The cultural and educational trip to Spain over the winter break was quite amazing. This was my first trip with the college and I felt it was a good decision. I went to a lot of places like the Park Guell, hospital, Gerona and many more. I walked around the beautiful streets of Barcelona with my friends. The hospital visit made me enthusiastic to excel in my studies so that I can study and work abroad. The best thing in Barcelona for me was the view of the city from the cable car. The view of the seaport was lovely. Overall I found Barcelona beautiful and an attractive city. 

Madrid, on the other hand, was peaceful and calm with amazing weather. A type of weather I love. Great people around the city. The best thing in Madrid was El Retiro Park. I feel lucky to have gone there. The visit to Toledo was fascinating and I was amazed to see the beauty of nature. 
 
I hope to come across more foreign visits in the future. Trips like these will help me develop as it will lead me to make new friends, fall in love with nature and visiting hospitals will make me have high aims and aspirations in life. 
I am really grateful for this trip. 
Thanks and Regards

In my opinion, the trip to Spain with the students of Gulf Medical University was an amazing experience. I had the chance to meet and get to know all the people who were on the trip. We got to learn about the history of the places we visited and we learned about the culture. In addition, we had the opportunity to visit one of the hospitals in Spain where we got to see how they work with the latest technologies and the different departments of the medical field. 
At the end of the day, it was fun and educational.

Hey, this is Momina Khawaja (2019M082).
The Spain trip was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the city tours, especially Pals and Toledo. I’d love to come back here again someday. The hospital tour was also very informative and eye-opening to all the possibilities I have as a future health professional. For our next trip, I’d love to go to Japan or Tanzania. Thank you!

This experience was very great –it added a lot for me, I went to Toledo and many traditional places and I loved the culture, Toledo was my favorite city. When we went to the hospital I got to know the Spanish Hospital system, I thought I would apply here for the Training when I knew that there is a University Hospital related to the Hospital, I heard that Spain is the best place to have your master after the Dentistry degree.
Thank you for all the Team and especially to Ms. Burcu

It was the best trip in my life , it was my first time exploring an European country and it filled all my expectations.  Spain was   such a beautiful country . We were well taken care off by our staff. Out of all the places we went ,Barcelona would be my favourite destination ,the culture and festive was beautiful. The architecture was so mesmerizing. The people were so friendly and helpful.  I thank the university for  giving me such an opportunity to explore. Patiently waiting for the next trip.

The trip to Spain was amazing! The places we visited and the site seeing was phenomenal. We explored many historical places and museums and landmarks that are so famous in Spain such as the Barcelona stadium. The hospital visit was also beneficial as it showed us how developed Spain was in healthcare and introduced us to future training opportunities. I will definitely be going on another university trip.

A beautiful lovely trip with its gorgeous cities, Madrid was an amazing city I had so much fun in it. The hospital in Barcelona was a beautiful opportunity for us students to have a wider choice of options for our future decisions. If I could come again I’d come to Madrid, to relive the pretty memories and eat the same delicious foods.

I want to thank you for the wonderful tour in Spain. It was a spectacular vacation as well as a memorable one. Our stay in Barcelona and our visit to Girona was one of my favorites as the area is breathtaking just as all of the other destinations on this trip. Not to forget the wonderful visit to Madrid-Toledo that was astonishing.
