Our Party

A little bit I was „afraid“ to get inside Tolcův Dvůr yesterday.
Everything started there, and our „farewell party“ was like „and everything finishes there“. I thought i could be sad.
And of course it’s true that at the beginning getting inside the room, with our exhibition i was shocked… Too many memories….I didn’t think that watching ourselves now, from outside could be so…… colourful!
But the truth is that during the party the main feeling, was not a „farewell feeling“ but a „never ending feeling“…. Somehow.

Too many feelings that somebody got so confused, that forgot everything…...
Hem hem… future President of Poland who gets inside (by mistake) an other flat at 3 o’clok in the night… why not??? Of course just for FU…………………………

I think that we made a nice movie... I put here one part of it, a very small part... but one of my favorite!

Fresh news from Germany...

Hi to all colourful people!!!
I just spoke to Vale on MSN and she asked me to write you something about "my new life"... so here are the very fresh news from Leipzig.

I arrived yesterday and took a walk to the city centre. It is very beautiful, with a deep history. Every second building is my university. My flat is close to the very centre in an old beautiful house. People I met are nice. Im sharing the flat with two boys and one girl, in this time we have one more room-mate, who is doing her practise in Leipzig for some weeks, but she is leaving next week. One of my room-mates is also a volunteer in one organisation for childern and young people with interesting program. I think I will join in the next weeks... every thuasday they organise "language evening". People meet together and speak foreign languages. I like this idea:-)...

Tomorow I´m gonna meet the real face of being refugee:-)... first I´m gonna sing myself for studies and then I will probably visit offices for inhabitants of Leipzig and for foreign people living in Germany, if I´m not gonna spend the whole day with singing myself. On every institution I will wait some hours I think... and I will experience one interesting thing called "biometrical photo"... maybe I will regret I didn´t take any Zubrowka;-)... at least there is a welcome party on friday:-)...

I´ve heard some classes are already full, cause the German students can sing from yesterday. I hope they will allow me to visit classes I like... think of me. The winter term starts on monday.

That is actually everything in this time. If you want to take holiday from your hard work in Duha, my doors are open!!! Good luck with working on the booklet!!!

Best autumn greetings from Učí!

The song of Happiness....

I love taking pictures, as sometimes a photo can describe situations better than words.
Especially now that I am leaving into EVS life....
How to explain deeply with words, a situation where a Bulgarian , a Lithuanian , a Portuguese a French and an Italian carry a sofa' in the night for about one km, under the rain?
Or how to explain, sleeping in a gym with homeless people who are gonna playing into a theater-festival?
Or a moment where, finding some benches into a changing-room of a school, someone says: “Now we have 15 minutes”. “For what?” “For sleeping”, being too tired from previous crazy days...

Sometimes I feel it's impossible to describe some moments, as inside this experience there is a whole bunch of feelings and to describe them I would risk to be banal and all these moments are a lot of things except than banal and facile.

I was very proud of the pictures that i had taken last Friday during the big event in Šumperk of Doduhy Most.
Unfortunately I don't have those pictures anymore, as my camera was stolen.
I didn't know if I felt sadder for having lost my camera or for having lost my pictures. Or for the fact that probably my camera had been stolen by the people for whom I was working for.

And of course the suspects of everyone there were mostly on some gypsies kids who I had around all the time.

My camera was found, but not the pictures as they were deleted by the “thief”, who, against all the “expectations” was not a gypsy.

I firstly felt grateful to my Friends who found it, terrible sorry for my pictures but mostly, somehow shocked for the reaction of one the gypsy kid after the “retrieval” of my camera. I run to him as soon as I got my camera back, as during the evening he and other gypsy kids had been “interrogated”.....
I wanted to show him that everything was ok now.
I excepted him to smile, but what I saw was that there were tears in his huge, deep, black and proud eyes.
I am not sure if his tears were of sadness or happiness.
Even because i also wanted to cry for several different mixed feelings...
Again, I don't know how to explain some things....

Anyway, after we sung the song of Happiness in Italian (La canzone della felicita') and everyone was happy again...

Vale
