The other kind of travel and leisure blog
Only one more day until the weekend =) Today more people should be interviewed so that we have more data for our surveys. And once again, we encouraged our exchange partners to ask questions and be bold. At first they were a little hesitant again, but over time this subsided and they gained confidence. Because they realized that nothing bad...
You read that right, I or rather the cab driver drove around with my wheelchair in the open trunk! But I'll tell you more about that later in the article ^^ The day before yesterday we created the questionnaire and today it was already time to use it. We started by asking people at school...
♪ It's my birthday, it's my birthday. Imma spend my money ♪ I'm in China and it's my birthday, if that's not cool! Of course, a visit to the karaoke club is a must to celebrate! The Chinese are very kind! When I entered the school, I was greeted with lots of hugs. The Chinese were all so compassionate: although they...
A new day, a new adventure =) When we entered the classroom this morning, there was a table full of food. There were candies (also durian flavored ;D), cookies, chips and even coffee and sponge cake...albeit with a questionable topping. Are you curious? It was seaweed. Yep, you read that right. Sponge cake with seaweed. Of course...
The weekend was over and it was back to school. Today it was time for us to work in groups on the topics that had been presented over the last few days. These were as follows: I chose dating as it was the topic that interested me the most. I wanted to learn about the differences between China and Germany and...
The durian aka stinky fruit day 9 started with a challenge. Some of you may be familiar with the durian (in this post I posted a picture of the durians with peel :D), also known as stinky fruit and it's no secret that many people have a problem with this fruit. I have to admit, when I was younger I could smell the...
Where will we go today? To a sugar cane plantation! I love sugar cane, I remember it from Vietnam! You can snack on it or squeeze it and drink the juice. I'm definitely an absolute sugar cane fan :D Finally a day when we could sleep in =) We were very comfortably awakened by the sun's rays and the ever louder...
Today's workshop was about sex education. For us Germans, this was nothing new, since sex education already takes place in elementary school here. But for our Chinese exchange partners, this was all still uncharted territory. Not only because Asians hardly ever talk about sex, but also because Asians have a "face"/look and if someone with a disability has sex, then it is simply unimaginable....
What do tai chi and twitching have to do with each other? I'll tell you in the course of the article 😀 A young lady with only one arm and one leg stood in front of us. She is a former GETCH student, her name was Miko and she would be leading today's workshop on "Independent Living". Many people don't even realize what a luxury that is...
There's a woman sitting in front of you and she starts telling you that something is wrong with her daughter. That's how today's workshop started. Somehow the whole thing irritated us...is the woman serious or is it just an act? I think that was the question we were all asking ourselves.
