Photo sesion, Geocaching, and more!

This week was full with shooting for the postcards.
One of the most interesting ones was the 'intercultural postcard' for what each of us had to prepare around 5 items from their country. It was interesting to see what each volunteer had prepared as well as compare the items - different games, symbols, food.
In the end we had in JACis a pretty full table with international food which we ate with delight.

On the same topic - one of the postcards which took us the most time was  a postcard for which we had to hang different items on a tree. It was a hardwork choosing the items, preparing them and hanging them. It took us around two hours in total. While the shooting was no more than 15 min. For sure it will be one of the best looking postcards.

And this wasn't the end. At the night we went to make a photo with Prokop on the train station.












On the other hand this was the second week for the English camp in Zeimus. As the previous one Pilar and Prokop made their presentations, it wsa time for me and Georgi.
I, Lyudmila, went on Tuesday. I explained the kids a little bit about Bulgaria - where it is, its history and present, folklor. After this we made a workshop for Martenica where the kids did pretty dolls and bracelets in red and white. It's not quite the time for Martenica yet, as it is tradition for the 1st of March, but I'm sure the kids were prtty interested in it nevertheless.
In the end I talked a little bit about the Bugarian lenguage and its differences and similarities to Russian. We learned several fraces like "Good day", "Thank you" and "Do you want to be friends with me?". Interested? Well you can visit the dictionary page on this blog where youcan find fraces not only in Bulgarian and Russian but also in Spanish, Latvian, Slovakian and Georgian.
This is the way to become a poliglot :)
Georgi as well focused mainly on Georgian traditions.
He explained about Georgia and Georgian traditions. Then played an interesting game that helped the kids to learn soemthing about the Georgian alphabet which is so different from the latin and cyrilic one.
In the end he finished his activities with the game Flag to flag.


And in the end this week we participated in Geocaching which exists in Rezekne from this spring.
First we went to the information center where hey give us GPS with intstructions how to find the items. We went for two of them. As one of the rule of Geocaching is that nobody have to see you, I can not tell you about it in ditails. Let's just say that finding the place was much more easy than finding the item itself.
Want to try geocahing. Well, first go to its offiial site and read a ittle bit about it. Than you jsut have to take the GPS from the informaiton center and according to the rules start your search.
Good luck
