On-arrival Training

From 27th of september to the second of october, we went to on-arrival training in Zbraslavice. It was just amazing and very interesting. We slept in a camp next to a lake and next to a forest. We were 25 volunteers of Czech Republic, so we met the others volunteers and we had now new friends. The volunteers came from Germany, Spain, France, Austria, Russia, Lituania, Bulgaria...

Moreover, the weather was so great, during all the week, the sun was shining ! So we made a lot of activities outside like Canoe, Tarzan park, games, fire, visit of Knuta Hora...

We are just looking forward for the mid-term training in february... :)

Ya hemos empezado el club de conversación en español !!!!!! Es muy entretenido, comenzamos por presentarnos y también hablamos sobre nuevas noticias, como actuar cuando eres turista en un país de habla Española.

Don't worry, be happy !

Funny video : fish in the Art Modern Museum

First time in Prague

Week end of 17th and 18th September

During this weekend, we took the train to Prague and visited this city. It was very great because the sun was shining all the Saturday, so we walked around the city all the day.

Also, during our walk, we visited a wine festival in a parg, it was very interesting to see all the dressed people, and to see the traditional czech dances and the songs but also to taste the czech wine.

And for the sunday, the rain arrived so we visited the Modern Art Museum which is so interesting and good.

Here, there is a little video with some moments we spent in Prague. Enjoy :)

We arrived in Rychnov nad Kneznou one month ago. We were very surprised of the city. Indeed, it's a small city but we can make a lot of activities like swimming pool, music, bike, sport, and.. zumba.

After one month, we start to get used to living in Rychnov, we know a few good restaurants, and bar. But we have to discover a little bit more the city because during our free time, we traveled a lot.

So Rychnov nad kneznou, here we are :)
