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 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...
I'll tell you why it's important to pay attention to your surroundings in today's report ^^ But now it's finally time for the project to really get going! Our first week in China is all about facts, facts and more facts. It's all about discovering new perspectives, exchanging information with our exchange partners and learning about the different...
The first morning in China. Do you know that feeling of waking up in another country, that different view when you open your eyes, the unusual smell? Such an exciting feeling, right? I love that, it gives me some “Oh-my-god-I-am-abroad-and-I-am-having-an-adventure”-Feeling.
Hi there =) As some of you know through my "About Me" page, I am in a wheelchair. But that doesn't stop me from traveling! I just love traveling, it was like that before my brain hemorrhage and it is still like that now. Should you be unsure about traveling, whether in a wheelchair or not, then I would like to help you with this blog....
I love going on trips! Unfortunately, I can't do this very well on my own, which is why I always need an accompanying person. Thanks to my personal budget, I was able to go exploring on my own, independently of my parents. The personal budget enables a person with disabilities to participate independently in social life. If you have never heard of it before, then you should definitely inform yourself about it (at least in Germany)! But what I would like to get at ... with an assistant I dared an excursion into the Black Forest! o(^.^)o
