  Welcome everybody to the only official swiss Summer-U Blog, with live-coverage from the 24th Summer-U of the European Union of Jewish Students.
Now, alltough I know that a Blog is always a very individual thing and I don’t have a degree in journalism, I nevertheless hope to offer you a little bit of an Insight to this years Summer-U.
Let me present myself, my name is Aron Waltuch and I’m the Co-President of the Swiss Union of Jewish Students. That should be enough fort he moment.
1st day, arrival, always a little bit of an adventure, which started form e at 7 o’clock in the morning to pack my suitcase and which ended somewhere around 2 o’clock am of the next day in my hotel-room in „la residencia Primula“, a hotel-ressort outside of Rome.
Our plain arrived from Basel, my home city, at about 1.30pm. The funny suprise, ist that we had to wait for 5 hours (!) in the airport untill the bus finally took us on the 2 hours trip to the hotel. Needless to say that we were really tired once arrived. But no time to rest, we just arrived in time for dinner which consisted of.... big surprise.... Pasta ;-)
As it was the day of my birthday, I was welcomed with a room of people singing happy birthday for me.... belive me people, just for that, it’s worth to have your birthday in Summer-U time! Then, my spanish friends, which I share my room with threw a little mix of a birthday party for me and a pre-party, which should happen to take place every single day of Summer-U. The invitation is always the same, just tell the people „38“, which is our room number, the rest follows.
