workshops - Białystok

i arrived there by casualty: Betty n me went there just because my friends Shu n Amy lost their train in Prague and after all, Marcel needed 2 guys to be sent to Bialystok :P after 9 loooong hours in the train we arrived and it was soooo cooold!!! Damian picked us up and during our staying there i could see Basia was a great organizer for the proyect, the team worked very well and they even toke us to the schools on the mornings :) running to the bus stop, most of the times :P hehe There i met Wenting and Qing, both from China and great trainers! and my dudes Gagan (he is the one in the video!) from India and Lanre from Nigeria... they all were very funny! oh! n i have to thank Betty for her patience with me



this was a nice surprise: suddently Basia, the Coordinator (OC) in this city, told me something like "ok, so TV is comming today". hope u can understand how much i was surprised... i hope i don't look waaaay bad, haha. it was nice after all... the interview was a little longer, but seems i didn't say enough interesting stuff haha. sometimes there was some problems with a couple of words guys didn't know and we needed to explain a little, for example "entrepreneurship", "budget"... so i asked just to be sure we were on the same frequence



those were incredible weeks, not only because this 'tv (very fast) experience' but at the end of the last workshop one student asked me to sign the presents we gave them from the sponsors... i reserved a ball for the ones who took the "advance workshop" n after signing the 1st one i found some more on the desk :) in a way, it felt like being John Nash (a beautiful mind, seen that movie?) hopefuly for the workshop and not for being insane :P haha. we also went to make some climbing on a mall and also went to this spanish movie festival, that was very interesting :) we also recieved the invitation to the house of Ela, the english teacher in the VI LO, with Betty we had a lovely dinner and supper... and i couldn't eat more!



then, leaving Białystok was a little complicated because i took the bus on the wrong direction (yeah, i love taking transportation in the wrong way!) and my time was very thight... but finally i made it and Damian helped me to talked to the inspector to see if i could buy my ticket inside the train; this was specially useful because the train departed 2 min after i arrived to the wagon... then no time to buy the ticket on the window hehe. thanks for everything there! n Emilia... i don't smoke grass :)



i enjoy Bialystok a lot, bad luck i didn't have time to get to see the zubr around, it would had been awesome! but it doesn't matter because i had such a good time, and i even got a haircut there... wich, now that i remember... i needed to schedule an appointment to go, that was crazy! here in Lima you just go to get the haircut and make your queue until they can use their scissors on your head. (i wonder if it's the same in the rest of Europe). thanks Szymon for your help and for being such a nice friend!
