Good night diary!! How are you?I’m really tired and I’m going to
write a few lines. Today it was a long day. In the morning we went to start
painting and I entertained kids. It was really stressful. When we returned to our apartment in
theory we just eat and go back to paint but the fiesta-siesta won our hearts. The Russian American party was
really funny and I really liked the fire songs but I didn’t understand any of
songs. When we returned to our apartment we
had a "Sangria party” with the Americans. It was really interesting but I was
really sleepy. And that’s all. Good night my dear diary! Victor. Read more: |
Our working day seemed to be not
special at all just to the moment when local children came and made us feel
like the biggest stars of NEREXTA.
Obviously, the greatest popularity gained Juyoung – the only one capable
of communicating in the Russian and the only one with exotic look. Fortunately
there were few moments when Juyoung was so much busy signing little children’s
pieces of paper so the children realized lame ordinary looking other volunteers
=) They brought us sunflower seeds and candies! Children, please, come again!
During the lunch we played "catch rise and cucumber faster than a lady comes
and grab it” game. Read more: |
We are woken up by Lucia. We ate a breakfast and start
sketching the Maturecica wall. After we’re done with the sketching, we played
Ping-Pong and I got beaten up by the Russian kid. We brought the things which
were needed for the painting to the school. And we painted the wall white so
fast. We had an amazing lunch and went to the church. Because I don’t believe
in any religion, I did not understand anything, but the bell was really good. I and Victor had a siesta so I don’t
know what happened after that but after we woke up, we went to the office for
the dinner and played the Dixit game. And the Victor’s ass at the Photo
posing game was amazing. Jun Read more: |

"Today was little bit different day compare with the others.
We went to a market in the early morning near the train station. The market does close really early approximately at 9am, because during the day it is too hot to open the shops. In the market I bought a bottle of honey which looks really fresh. We worked for fences as usual from 10am to 1pm. Read more: |

Today is Sunday, our day off. We decided to explore the capital of the Kostroma region, Kostroma-city.
"It's an honor for me to write about the only day without fences. We travelled by train to Kostroma. The central square of the city is called Susanina square. There is a market close to the square in the street where you can buy food and some clothes. We went to the boat excursion on Volga River. Very beautiful view and nice fresh wind in the sunny day"..

Today we have begun a new journey in the funny fences workcamp.
The city offers us a vision of the rural Russia, a different Russia that foreigners used to visit. As always we have started the day with our fences, we have been working on a playground, adding diferent pictures for children.The work is very easy and very funny. I think that our campleader is very patient with us because we are kidding every day, especially the Spanish boys.Read more: |
