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 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...
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...
O.M.G. is this really happening?! Today is the day I will fly as a "normal" passenger for the first time since my brain hemorrhage. Normal passenger? Yes, because when I was flown back to Germany after my brain hemorrhage (because I was in Australia for vacation), I had to lie down the whole time. Flying lying down is really boring! Well, if...
You want to speedboat, but can not walk? No problem, because that's not an obstacle! That's exactly what I found out today ^^ When I was still in rehab, an activity was suggested to us by the social pedagogue - speedboating! Speed boat? Is that even possible as a wheelchair user? Yes it is! How, I wasn't sure at the time, because I had the...
Every 2 years, the fair "Rehab" takes place in Karlsruhe on the topics of rehabilitation, therapy, care and inclusion. As a person with a movement restriction who is dependent on a wheelchair at the moment, this exhibition is just the right thing! Because there are many exhibitors who are eager to present their latest invention and there are enough people who are waiting for exactly such inventions - like me xD
