The other kind of travel and leisure blog
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...
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...
It was already noon when we finally landed in China. I can't believe it, I flew more than 10 hours despite my wheelchair and now I have landed here in China. I would not have dreamed of this in my wildest dreams. With enough planning, flying with a handicap is possible!
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...
Did you know that there are airports that offer small bus tours on the airfield? I certainly did not xD But today I could be taught better. I was at Zurich airport with a social pedagogue and other patients from rehab - not to fly somewhere, but for a day trip. Because you can actually buy tickets here for a 75-minute commented tour of the...
