The last two
weeks have been full, very full and with many new things.
If I have to
think about last week it seems really far away; at that time I still
was the only volunteer in Kuldīga although it wouldn’t be for
long. I spent most of my time at work preparing the welcome for Zura,
the Georgian volunteer who will be my colleague during this whole
year, and making a presentation about Catalunya for the first
cultural evening of the Youth Center.
On
Friday I left to Riga with some friends, Guna and Edgars, who showed
me this beautiful city and on Saturday we all went to the airport to
pick up Zura. Then, we drove with their car to Kuldīga and went to
Zabadaks, the place where Zura was supposed to live. But he didn’t
like it at all so we decided that I would share the flat with him.
And I am glad of this decision! Sometimes it is difficult to
communicate with each other because he speaks very little English and
I don’t speak Russian at all, but doing mimics to understand each
other is very funny!
On
Monday we had the first ballet lesson in Focus, the dancing group I
go to. The teacher is a professional ballet dancer who comes
specially from Riga to teach us! We also had rehearsal on Tuesday and
Wednesday but it wasn’t ballet, it was theater, which is extremely
necessary because the expression is very important in the dances.
But
before I go to eat something, I want to talk about yesterday.
Yesterday it was 11th of
September, the Catalan National Day and I am very say I couldn’t be
there in this important date. All the Catalans did a human chain,
“Via Catalana”, to demonstrate for the independence. Here, in the
Youth Center, we did the first cultural evening about Catalunya and I
talked about our history, traditions and why the Catalans want to be
independent.
VISCA
CATALUNYA!
sí senyora! que ho sàpiga tothom!
