Hy there, out there, - how are you in your countries? Give more signs, write your blogs :)

As I promised to all of you, I am trying to write this blog for you, who left. I think I have wrote it already to you, but we are missing you so much guys. For days we could feel your smell in your rooms, now the cleaning lady has come and took it away from us.
There are no new things here. Life goes on. But we are thinking of you a lot.
Today we had a little ticket buying - meeting with Jette, after that we went into the town, had an ice coffee/and hot chocolats, and after that we made a charity - trip. We bought so many wonderful dresses.
The weather is not so good, and yesterday it was awful, so we are not moving far away from Haderslev and Kriszti has a problem with her bike (maybe she replaced Marys). There are so many things which reminds us to you. Little things.
The kitchen is quite beautiful now, and we are preparing full meal everytime, and pancakes all the time. Thanks for all of the food and everything what you have left here!
At saturday we will have a little movie watching- cooking party here, threesome. It would be better with you. Carlos, I am missing your spanish omlet, but my Mum saw it on your blog so she will prepare to me at home.
The day before yesterday we was at home. The weather was terribble, you know that strong wind, with rain - as usual. We spent the whole day with speaking, thinking of you, computer, learning, cooking, and playing. Now we can recognise that the spring will end soon, petals are falling down, but the whole landscape getting green, and the farms on the road from Aabenraa are really beautiful (we wanna go there too). I am a little bit upset because of this, but changing is a normal way of life.
And yes, Aabenraa. We were there at monday, and we will go three more times before we go home /Zep four more times before she goes to Dusseldorf/. The lesson was interesting, we are with a Danish group, they are preparing some theathre thing, and Flemming was awsome, fantastic, and helpful. We had a really good time there.
And on sunday Canan left. She was the last.
And on saturday we had a little flowering freetime, eating ice cream, creating things from flower, that was really good, really sunny, and nice - foursome.

Maybe tomorrow we are going to go to somewhere - and on sunday we are going to hitchike. I wanna see Coppenhagen next week, but I really have to think about my money. (Image that our ticket to Coppenhagen at the 22th was only 75 kroners - it was orange ticket price of!!!).

So this is how the time goes without you. I will put on pictures next time, not now, but then I will, I promise - maybe I can show some travelling pictures than, I hope so... We are really missing you guys. Everything so silent... And, you know. Or dont?

I wish I could still be with you, and I know you feel the same, but we will meet again, we have to. Friends are forever friends. We are connected, and connection always stays connection... This is the part when we are reaping what we sow, consequence time, I also changed a lot, but I will write about this next time... And I could tell much more, but it is enough for today... Hugs, kisses, everything... MOJN Friends! There is no word for that how much I am loving you.

Thanks for your mails, they are helped a lot to understand, and to know about you.

Today we were speak about, that maybe we can meet every year in one of our countries - if it is okay for you - than see you next august in Hungary!!! Is it okay? :)



We are having, arent we? This was it, maybe, just keep on continue :)

A little hungarian poem to the consequence side:


Nor a son, nor a happy forbear - Endre Ady

I am nor a son, nor a happy forbear,
nor a relative, nor a familiar
Of anybody.
Of anybody.

I am, like every man: royalty
North - notch, secret, averseness
Ghostly, distanced light
Ghostly, distanced light

Oh, but, I can not stay in this way
I would like to show myself
To see me by looking
To see me by looking

This is the reason for every hurting, and crying
I would like to be loved
Just to be somebody's
Be somebody's...


Nowadays, I am really getting upset, because the time to say goodbye for the others are getting closer and closer, and I just cant image the life here without them. It is so weird. I just cant image that I wont see them day by day, and maybe never again.

I dont like to think about this, but maybe it is true.

Anyway, the last and the first days of a travelling are always sweeter. I have tasted this sweet taste in our last excursions too: to Dybbol and to Aro. And I have to add a comment for Aro: I could live my whole life down there, almost like my Canadian dream island: Prince Edward.
This place will leave for my heart forever.

But now I would like to give a blessing for the others:

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


See you again, friends!


And I will try to continue the blog in the last month, I promise :).


I know that I should write a long post about our 3 week of pratice, but my opinion is not changed that much from the first time, and I am really busy today with learning for home.
Several thing is for sure:

I like those children really much, and I will never forget them.
I am hardly against the pills still.
It would have been better if we are going fist to the 7th graders.
I met a boy for who I will remember in my whole life.
I wanna show you my 'secret place' in Denmark, which is very near to our dormitory and it is my favourite place in Denmark :).


I would like to show you some really special event here in Denmark which happened to me.

First is about a little (25 kms long) bicycletrip with Mary on of the weekends, and the another two is about the Easter, and the Easter break which mostly went away with relaxing, learning, and being together with Zep and Eliska. And thinking about that the others will leave soon. :/

But look to the pictures, they are nice :).







Unfortunately I dont have painting pictures :/


We weeks ago we had Jette's storytellers lesson, where we saw some part of the Danish movie culture. I would like to show you my notes from that lesson, because they are mostly just the film titles: (It is also a note for me to dont forget to see Festen!)

The thing why I waited with posting it is because I wanted to compare it (by mentioning together) with the Globalization and Citizenship lessons.

On the first lessons of Globalization we mostly spoke about actual political cases, Durben I and II, Obama's speech, keywords searching, key words for teaching democracy.

On the another lessons of Globalizations we saw movie parts, and clips, and this is why I want this two subject together. They are quite different because on the globalization lesson we were speak about keywords, and globalization and citizenship by films.

But I have a question to my readers/Erasmus mates:

How Danish films speaking about this? For example Festen? I am sure it speaks a lot, but from a very different view.




We had a little restaurant few days ago - we had an international cooking lesson, where every nation had to cook their own tradition foods. It was a really tasty lesson - I am still get hungry if I am watching the pictures! I hope you too!

This was the living and eating together part! :)

(And I liked the Polish the most :) )

(Big size recommended for viewing.)




The most fantastic and most crowded week of the whole staying yet! I was tired all the week, but I will write a few sentences about it to you... and I will show some pictures also (some of them are from Kriszti...)

Shame that was only a week...

The international week started at Monday 9th of Marc. 12 nations was put together - like a good soup: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Holland, Hungary, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey.

We had lessons together (for example music), and we discussed some topics too - and also had parties, and free time together.

I would like to pick up some movements of the week.

First

We had a lesson together based on stereotypes, where we had to draw about each others countries in groups. We have heard lot of interesting things... For example have you known that every Hungarian is a gypsy?







Second

Ribe. It is an old fisherman - trademan town near to the very flat seaside. As we call in Hungary, this town is a jewelerybox. I dont think so that I have seen more beautiful thing in Denmark yet. I wanna go back there in the spring, in the last one month.







Third

Eurovision song contest, and eating together with the student. I dont have more to add because that one sentence is speaking -oh, only one more: WE WON THE CONTEST :) !




At the end of the week we had to do a presentation. I did a video with somekind of travelling alternative hungarian music, and with a little art... They liked it very much, and I was really happy... At the moment picasa dont want to upload it, but I will see what can I do with it, because I really want to show you...

Anyway, I was very sad when the others left, and I ask God to meet them again in this life.
When I have heard this name of the subject I cant image what it will be. And then we realised it, and we had to fantastic lessons where we compared the different school systems in Europe in different ways.

First from the different dimensions of education:

1. artefacts
2. values
3. basic assumptions
  • Artefacts: everything you can observe

    Example: equipment.


  • Values:

    Examples: the differences between countries which differences are speaking about values:


  • lunch boxes: free choice - parents, homes
  • canteen: healthy + social - community
  • break during the daytime: way of securing mother do not work in full-time job, only in part-time

  • Basic assumptions: indicator
We spoke a lot about values in different communities...

After this, on the second lesson we compared our educational system, it was really interesting... It seems sometimes that all the rules in the world has no sense at all, but they are keeping the community working... aren't they?
These two subjects are connected to module 1, and both was really interesting. But both of them we had more lessons than one, so I waited to post them.

First I wanna speak about the Danish lessons, and I would like to add only one thing: I am really respect those people who learned to speak Danish! Even the Danish! I have tried to learn some more, but it is so difficult - and I am still trying. At least, trying.

I can give you some example - this are my lesson notes (another in Hungarian which language as difficult as Danish):

Danish lesson

Look easy? Try to pronunce! I am sure that you cant pronunce it right!

I have to add something more: Christin, our Danish teacher is a very good, helpful, nice, and powerful woman, and she can cook very well! :)





And the History lessons. Maybe that's tell everything if I am saying that we only had two, but get three. The History Teacher... Oh, my God! I have never seen such a clever, and open- minded person. I was shocked. And I am also like his attitude to history and from history to the future.
I have always liked history, till I got a bad teacher, but I think if he would been my teacher, I would be a history teacher now.
His cleverness is really huge. I respect him for that!
I am gonna write about my favourite free time spending things, and my favourite topic, and my favourite lessons here. I am not sure that this post will be long, but it has something to say... so.

Yes, you have already guessed. It is Art.

We have/had really much kind of art lessons here and I am really greatful and happy because of that.

We had so many music lessons (and also choir).
So many Art lessons (also in plus curse too).
And a few, but fantastic drama lessons in Aabenraa.

I was crazy all of them, they were really fantastic. But let me add some comments to the lessons.

Music lessons: They were absolutely fantastic! How the Danish music teachers (we met more of them) are treating the music and leading the children is fantastic. They are oftentranslating music to something else: drama, notes, drawing, speach, games. And they are really teaching them to think not about the music, but with to music, to can understand, and compose! Fantastic, brilliant! And of course they are keeping the well- known rules of Danish teaching...

Art lessons: My favourite. Few of you are knowing about me that I planned to became a graphic designer, but I gave up, as I gave up so many things in my life. But I am still crazy for drawings, and having a place and mood to draw... these things are really important to me to have an inspiration, and thoughts to draw. And here I can have them! It is fantastic. I like the lessons, I like the way of teaching, the methods, and everything! I like the teacher! And I like that we can use the rooms and the tools anytime! I have already draw so many things here, I hope it wont stop how the exam period is getting closer... I wish I could have the same opportunity, and way, and place to do this at home!

Drama lessons: The most useful lessons for me. I dont have much to add. We worked with maskes and with movements (and I dont have pictures about it, again... :/), and with music, and dance. Most of the time we dont work with maskes at home, but we should! It is improves a lot. I really cant say more. It was simply brilliant, and Aabenraa is a nice place, and the University there - we should be there, I guess... not here... because they are training our professions there...

But now: Pictures (but only a few ;) )!





Pictures from Kriszti.






How can you know that you already spent a lot of time in one place?

You are starting to have problems. (But half of my problems are coming from Hungary and because of my stupidity.)

I mean.

I have to write mail back home, because I forgot to add one paper to my social scholarship at home, and now they denied it, but thats money really needs for me. I think they will give it, but that is time. I am worrying, we will see.

The second problems of my average life that I started to move a lot, and I really feeling now like living here - so I have a feeling that I should go to gym or to swimming pool. Why it is a problem? It is not a problem, I have already lost almost 7 kgs here, and I need to lost more. But... I have neved had such a feeling at home, that I should move! That is a problem!!!

I have to change it, and I have to do something with myself to keep this feeling... I am working on it!
In this post I am gonna right about two parties. The first is Eliska's birthday. It was quite good, and I had two favourite moments of this night: first carrying balloons with bicycle - see the pictures! Second: playing drama games, and I leaded - oh, my beloved profession! :)

The second party was a little spontaneous party at our dormitory with billiard playing.

I let the pictures to speak! :)




In this week we had a lesson called special needs. I dont want to write about it a lot, because it was much more experiencing than writing about, but I have to admit that I was really interesting about this lesson after the practice - this is why I am writing about it.

And it was fantastic.

The teachers showed my a way how to create good atmosphere (hygge :) ) in the classroom, and how to teach things to the children like self- confidence, respect, and others by thouching!

Because we tried a special story telling back massage - and that was sooo good, and that is true - the one you thouch, you dont bully them!

So go, and take the massage to Hungary! :)

And the speaking with the teachers helped me to go back to our practice place...
