Oh my goodness.. its been a good week! and Ive been so excited for this weekend (a rotary weekend!!) that the time has just flown by!
School was school.. no difference there.. but I started my tutoring this week and tonight I finally made it to my first Fishnet event!
Tuesday was the first tutoring lesson.. we talked about Canada. It went really well. I brought some Candian currency and we disscussed the differences between who is represented on the canadian bills and on the czech bills aswell. we talked about everything. the chat lasted around 2 hours and it was great! it went much better than i was anticipating. Radek (the mans name that i am tutoring) had prepared some great questions and Lucy (the teacher) enjoyed taking part aswell. Lucy also has a small collection of english books that I was permitted to borrow from.. which I was eternally thankfull for, having finished all of my current material.. and I borrowed a few.
Tonight was absolutely fantastic!! Jarka invited me yet again to a fishnet event.. and i was able to attend! Fishnet is a group that works here (and in many other countries) to help connect youth with other youth in need of some guidance or assistance... Its an American based organisation and there are 5 americans here in Ostrava helping put on the fishnet activities. They put on activities frequently which many youth attend.. though its not an open event for everyone.. the people who do attend are encouraged to invite a friend.. So tonight was a games night.. scrabble, boggle, risk, monoploy.. and the like.. and Jarka invited me along. It was a great opportunity to meet the young adults here from the states and talk to them about there stay here in the Czech Republic. Its a three year or a few month program.. you pick which one you would like to sign up for.. everyone in Ostrava has been here at least one and a half years.. :)!! So they know the ins and outs of the town! really good conection to have! Everyone was really quite nice and I got a few new phone numbers aswell! next friday they are hosting a čajovna (teashop) and there putting together a bunch of teas and goodies. Exciting!!
Vítek met up with Jarka and I after and we made our way to a čajovna. Lovely! Its really quite a fantastic atmosphere to be in! very peacefull and calming.. Despite rthe fact that I haven´t found any ´chai´tea.. I found a tea that comes pretty darn close! :)
Tomorrow Vanessa, Josh and I leave for Jindřichuv Hradec (In-dree-koov hra-debts) for the rotary weekend! Im soo excited to see everyone and to travel on the train!!
