Sunday

Yesterday i had a really good day: i won my chess game, where i played very well, i got the phone number of a really nice chessplayer girl from Kaunas (yes, there are nice girls, who play chess:)) and as i went home, i got the feeling to wait for the green light at a small street where i usually cross by red light. A woman next to me did not wait, and as she arrived to the other side, policemen just came and fined her...i was happy, that i waited:)

lithuanian police with segway..looks cool

this weekend will be quite "normal", i will learn to my lithuanian final exam and will go to Kaunas on Saturday to visit some friends and maybe a certain chessplayer:)
i worked today on my german project, and it was really successful day, i had some good ideas.

Random

I am really bad in timing. I had today a german seminar,where i presented my project. Of yourse i wanted to look good, so i shaved myself. But with the new blade i cut my neck, so it was blod all over. Luckily a lot of make-up helped me to look good, so i was beautiful in the presentation.
But unfortunately the presentation was not a landslide- victory like i hoped, due to several reasons.
1:they all speak awesome german, and 2:they have much more interesting themes. But it is ok,i will get the second place. Second, because they will never let a foreigner to with in lithuania. But the second get the same price, so it is good:)
Otherwise i had a good week: funny parties, good foods, and good jokes.  Now i am in a coffe with wireless internet, playing online chess. It is so great,that everybody is looking at me, what i am doing:) i also chatted with my brother, it is great, that he is getting older and funnier...i love my brother:)
tomorrow chess game, i hope i will do good, but this it my 3rd game with black, so it is quite hard.

Gulag experience

I love seminars and projects, that is why i will take part in this weeks every weekend in such a things.
In december there will be in interesting stuff, here is the description:

The description about the project:




We will recreate on of the most tragic periods of European history – 1941-1953 mass deportations into Siberia. Stalins’ camp for deportees will be recreated in a huge fenced teritory of a Soviet bunker near Vilnius as well as in 3000 square meter bunker itself. Groups of 20 to 30 persons from one country to be joined by another 20 persons from another country (total 40-50). These groups will become Stalins‘ victims for one day in 2010.



The Deportation day will begin in the early afternoon in KGB museum in the centre of Vilnius. After the 1 hour excursion (free of charge for participants of the project) , during which young people will see authentic KGB prison, the group will go to the cafe nearby. Group of actors playing Soviet soldiers and KGB officers will take each group directly from the city street or a cafe in Vilnius, put them into a authentic Soviet truck and drive through the forest 25 kilometers to the Deportation site in the secret teritory of a Soviet Bunker.



Upon arrival to the bunker the group will have to part with their cell phones, modern clothes etc, and put on the clothes of a politcal prisoner of the 50ies. They will spend 4 hours in the Stalinist camp working in a forest, making the wood, cooking for themselves, trying to survive KGB interrogations, trying to keep their dignity and love for freedom.. They will share common destiny and build the friendships the deportation victims have built in real Stalinist camps. The day of each group will end with a symbolic return to democratic Europe – a European snack discussing with actors.

I am really looking forward to it.

Estonia

Achtung!Squirrels!

My life is awesome!

After the conference last week me and my friends went to Estonia. We planned it for a long time, but thanks for the help of my guides (Marko, Hannes and Anton) it became even more awesome.

Only bad thing was the bus trip, especially, that because i bought my bus ticket late, i travelled in a different but than the others, but it was not a big loss, because everybody tried to sleep...but only tried, because we have been waken up by the border controll three times, bespite that we only crossed 2 borders...Karl, the norvegian guy travelled without any documents, only with a lithuanian students card...luckily the border guards were not so strickt, so he could enjoy also the sights of Tallinn..

We arrived quite tired, but a great breakfast woke us up somehow...we visited the city, drunk a horrible hot wine, went to our hotel room and got really happy...we got a room for 10 euro per night with sauna and jakuzzu...nice..
At 1 we met with my estonian friend, Marko, who took us to the university cantin to eat and he showed us the university also. It is much better than in Vilnius, they have a huge campus with super buliding...in the lecture halls seats are like sofas..
Than we went for a sightseeing, went to the harbour and half of the group went home to a sauna pre-party...it was very funny:)
Then we went to a quite good appartement of Hannes to a flat party with underage-girls. At least they were not that unfriendly like the lithuanians...

Me and 2 other quys did not went to Helsinki, because we had better things to do than wake up at 5, but at least the others made a nice picture about me.

Tomorrow i will finish this post, it is too late now.

Internation Seminar and chess in Plunge

In this week i took part in a so called " international seminar on balanced academic mobility". What motivates a student to go to a seminar, where you are not even able to understand the topic?

According to my new estonians friend the only came here to party. I was quite angry when i heard it,  because i would never come to a serious seminar to celebrate. My motivation was first of all free food, free hotel with sauna, and only the third motivation is party.

They are actually not retarded, the are the presidents of estonian Students Assosiation

But thanks god i was positivly disappointed, because i also had great fun.

What is this seminar about?

Actually, i still don´t know, but i think,also the others don´t know it after 4 days. Thanks god EU has sponsored this event with 30.000 euros, so we had quite a good time.

Ok, it was about exchange programs in Europe, but i still don´t think it had any result.

But at least as a voluntary member of social committe i could concentrate to the evenings. 

First day we had to present our countries, so i mad a small presentation about hungary. We also had to bring some food, so i asked my friend, Pista, to go to the shop and buy a bottle of hungarian champagne and hungarian sunflower-corn, so that was our table.

It seemed, that the "local guys" were doing bad in this natial food party. That was the lithuanian table.

At least they had nice girls, not like the hungarian group:)

Belorussian table with nice food and caramels:)

After eating we made a national song disco, where Hungary played a song from Nox. They liked it.

After that we made a party in the conference hall of this quite nice hotel...i think they have never seen something like that in a hotel...especially the room next day...it was all covered by sunflower seeds...but we managed to clean it:)

Of course the next day was harder, because all of us were tired, but at least we tried to participate...

For the breakfast i ate so much salmon that i almost puked...it was free, so i had to use the possibility.

We had in that thay some group discussion, lectures about Bologna process and about georgian exchange programs. I made a presentation about german university system. It was interesting, i hope i was right in my presentation, i was not able to check the dates...

On the evening we went to sightseeing and after that we made a great video-disco, so party with videos with a projector, where we made the best photo ever.

We started to show Teletubbies on a party, it was after some parts from the great movie "Conan the Barbarian"

When i left next day, i thought, the main organisator hates me for making parties, because i was the main inventor this evenings, but when i came to the farewell dinner, she was the happiest...thanks god i have her phone number:)

Practical Guide I.-how to cross the chinese-north korean border

I have a principle, that i anyone has a knowledge, what is useful for the developing of the mankind, have to share it. That´s why i am going to make a trilogy of Practical guides with my friends. In the second part Mathias will share his cooking ideas, and in the third part Marie will teach us for the seduction of women.
Unfortunately i am not good in normal things, only in solving stupid problems in hilarius ways.
Have you ever wanted to go to North-Korea, but then gave up your dream, because it is impossible to go there?
It is possible!
There is a nice city called Dandong in eastern China, next to the North Korean border. It is actually quite a small city, but it has an interesting disco, where they played the music of Sterbinszky, a hungarian dj...i was quite suprised, when i heard hungarian text in the music. Of course when i mentioned it to the dj (ok, the guy who sat in front of the computer and played mp3-s) he did not even know, what is Hungary...

But in this city the most interesting thing is the cultural
influence of Korea: there are a lot korean shops, korean restaurants what are serving great food for prices, what are even for chinese people cheap is, and there is a bridge connecting China and Korea. The half of the older bridge was bombed by americans in the Korean war, it was very interesting to go to the half of the bridge.

There is also a museum for Korean War, showing the aggresson of the USA.

But go back to the main topic, how to go to Korea?

If you take the taxi to the eastest part of the Great Wall (abouth 30 km from the city )you will have a great view to Korea.

(the other side in Korea)

Actually, this part of Great Wall was rebuilt some years ago, so it felt somehow new, but it it good to see, how it looked like.

If you walt throught the Great Wall, you will get to a part, what looks ideal to cross the river...

So it is up to you, what do do..but take care, the water is really cold...

Moteris fuckeris-Klaipeda

Mar megint nincs rajta sapka.-

It seems like i love dangerous borders.

If you know me well, you remember my trip to China...

  

         Mary Poppins

First of all some explanation for the title: me and Chris have created a new language, what we called new-lithuanian: it is quite simple to learn it: you can use every language, just put an -as or -is to the end....during the weekend we also created the new-russian and the new-georgian language, but after the "friendly" request of our georgian friends we stopped it.

So this weekend we were in Klaipeda, at the seashore.

Of course the trip there was not without problems: half of the group have late the bus, so we traveled not together, but it was not a huge loss, because we slept all the time...there is a beautiful picture from me sleeping with opened mouth...

we had a nice hostel, 20 meters from the bus station, we took our luggages there and went to the city... it was not too much tourist, only old german pensioners... real party people:)the harbour was really great, but it was too dark to look around, so we went to the dormitory, and, what is quite funny, went to bed at 10...it was not a really class trip feeling..

next day we took the ferry to Nida, to the biggest dune of Europe...it was beautiful, we visited the russian border, tried to collect ambers, made some stupid pictures and made the russian version of Baywatch....sometimes i think about it, what normal tourist are doing...at the way back on the ferry it was so cold, that we had to travel in pinguin-formation, so all of us next to each other in a circle to heat thoose, who are inside...unfortunately i was an end-pinguin, so it was still cold for me.
the evening was really great, we went to a nice karaoke bar, some of the guys singed, i missed it luckily:)also some canadians joined us,but they were not able to follow our tempo...
on Sunday we went to the Lithuanian national see museum, almost late the bus, but at the end everything was fine.
