‘The phenomenon of the World is its riches. When you live in one culture or one environment, you don’t realize how huge and extreme is the variety of the World.’
It’s my first time, when I spend Easter far away from my home and from my family. In PolandChristmas or Easter are very domestic time. It’s very important for us. We spend time together and visit each other… and it’s why I supposed this time would be very difficult for me.
Still yesterday I thought it would be really a big defeat. Because I assumed that only in Poland, with my family it’s possible. And in addition somebody stole our 30 EGGS ! I haven’t presumed that it’s possible here- in Denmark We put with Gosia our eggs downstairs to the fridge the day before. And yesterday we wanted to boil some and…surprise! Our all pallet with 30 eggs just disappeared. Now it’s funny! :) But yesterday I thought that we would cry with Gosia. Because we don’t have here our typical, traditional polish Easter food, and to make things worse we didn’t have then even eggs.
But fortunately girls from our house were so nice and they share with us… :D
Easter Sunday is very important in Poland. We spend all day with our family. The most important is common, festive breakfast.
We decided to prepare it together in our place. But before this, Lilla prepared for us big surprise and we went to look for painted eggs in grass. It was very very nice! :) And later we came back and settled down together to the Easter table. It went beyons all my expectations !!! Even Cana joined us! :) It wasn’t completely like at home, but almost ! :) Big thanks girls !!! ...for beautiful decoration, delicious food and just for very nice atmosphere ! :)
…but in spite of all this nice things I still think that only at home you can celebrate Easter in the best way, which you used to do. After breakfast I went for a long walk and then I really started to miss my relatives. I wasn’t nice experience, because I knew that at that moment they were together …
On Thursday, March 26th we had the last danish lesson. I don't know why, but I really started to feel that the end is nearer and nearer. Maybe because it was our last week with classes in college.
Danish:
almost impossible to learn ;)
with difficult pronunciation
with difficult grammar
difficult to understanding what other say
difficult to remember
but! instead of that we had:
very nice teachers!!! ;) who tried to learn us the most useful words and sentences
very nice atmosphere at classes
very friendly attitude and relationship
That weren't only typical danish lessons, but also very nice time spending together. Time spending not only in class but also during lunches in Christina's house...and of course unforgettable party in the end of international week :)
Today on "Citizenship and globalisation" class were spoken a lot of very important sentences and questions.
Most of them were enclosed in the song 'Earthsong' of Michael Jackson and 'Where is the love?' of Black Eyed Peas. I mention some of them:
'What have we done to the world?'
'Look what we’ve done'
'What about all the peace?'
'What about all the dreams?'
'Did you ever stop to notice all the children dead from war?'
'Now I don’t know where we are…'
'Hey, what about yesterday?'
'What about nature’s worth?'
'Where did we go wrong?'
'What’s wrong with the world?'
'…the whole world is addicted to
the drama'
'…we try to stop terrorism but we still got terrorist here livin’'
'If love and is so strong why are there pieces of love that don’t belong?'
'Not respectin’ each other'
'Most of us only care about m
oney makin’'
'Selfishness got us followin’ our wrong direction'
'Wrong information always shown by the media'
'Lack of understanding…'
so 'Now ask yourself WHERE IS THE LOVE ?!?'
During that lesson I remind a song of Linkin Park " What I've done". Similar to the previous songs...lots of strong words and especially very good teledisk. I encourage to watch it:
For each of us, there are some things, which make us happy…
For me it’s enough to ride by bike… maybe strange but true! Only at that moments I feel free, my head is empty, I don’t have any problems, the worlds seems to be better and more beautiful…
…freedom, happiness, beauty, hope for the best, belief in better tomorrow, look on the world from different point of view…
Sanday's bicycle trip ... it was what I had needed to take a deep breath!!!
How good is to wake up one morning and see this view …
After almost 2 months the sun gave us a sign that it’s still exist ;)
I couldn’t miss this occasion so I decided to go one day on the lake.
How nice is for me sitting alone on the bench and just enjoy coming spring…
to day- dream, to smile…
But how strange seems to be that one month ago I was walking in this same place, and the scenery was quite different!
The spring is coming and you start to have different attitude to lots of things. The world seems to be better, you have more energy and you feel like doing a lots of things! You start to thing that maybe it’s time for some changes…? You have new points of view for many things, maybe better points?
Jørn Buch - the man who just fascinated me with his knowledge, his attitude to teaching, to his profession, with attitude to students... To tell the truth I've never liked history at school. It was always boring for me very :/ Teachers always used books and repeated everything what was written there. And to pass this subject I had to learn everything by heart. booooooring !!!!!!!!!
So it's why I've never supposed that I can become interested in history lessons. But Jørn shows me that history musn't be dull and unnecessary. He proved that this subject can be very interesting. Amzaing how big knowledge he has and in what way he is able to cennect all facts, dates, places and events. In our Erasmus Team we have people from six differnet countries and he was capable showing us how strong is our history and how much we have in common. I will always remember his methods which he uses to teaching, his rich gesticulation and changing timbre...
