How To Make A Creative Bicycle Birthday Cake

I was in prison ....

...., mit meiner Klasse!!=) Wir haben vor einer woche eine Exkursion nach Liepaja ins alte Gefaengnis aus dem 2. Weltkrieg gemacht!!Das war total lustig und interessant. Wir haben uns das nicht einfach nur angeguckt sonder wurden dort wie Gefangene behandelt! Aber von vorne:
wir sind mit dem bus angekommen und wurden von den Waertern auf den hof des gefaengnisses gefuehrt. dort mussten wir stramm in einer reihe stehen und die arme verschrenkt auf dem ruecken halten. eigentlich sollten wir auch ruhig sein, aber wie das so ist hat das natuerlich nicht geklappt=)! zur strafe mussten wir liegestuetze machen=(....das war nicht so lustig! nach edlichen liegestuetzen mussten wir uns in zweierreihen aufstellen und ins gefaengnis gehen, natuerlich ohne zu reden. die waerter waren natuerlich sehr streng und haben gerne und laut geschrien( das hat ihnen sichtlich spass gemacht---> die lieben ihren job =)). im gefaengnis angekommen gings runter auf die knie und die arme oben am kopf....so sassen wir ca. ne halbe stunde waerend der waerter uns was uebers gefaengnis erzaehlt hat! als er dann endlich fertig war durften wir im entengang in unsere zellen maschieren und dort mit dem gesicht zur wand stehenbleiben. auch da konnten wir es uns nicht nehmen lassen zu quatschen...die strafe kam sofort--->liegestuetze...aber das wurde ihm dann irgendwann zu langweilig, dann sollten wir im staendig wechsel aufstehen und wieder in liegestutzpose gehen..ca. 100 mal!!ich hab Sun abgekotz! Unfortunately I have not understood the guards and he had mercy on me (who knew I'm from Germany) and I was able to provide input to the other in the face to the wall of course! after a while so I'm left I had to go to the doctor, the lady was kind enough to talk to me in English, although I'm still extracting previously learned what is called the right and left arm! when I was finished I had a little later to another woman at the photo-detection to make the images of war we also sent soon. when I was finished I had to return to the gang back and after half an hour or so to another man who has taken my personal! that was funny, the German and could was suddenly quite friendly to me in contrast to the others. He then asked me if for me the 2 most important things in life would be beer and vodka! then we went back out on the floor and a little later in the darkroom, oh man luckily I did not alone in, with the other but this was very funny. when we were erloesst like we had in a very small chamber where we were in there a total of 36 people and it was very narrow. 2nd World War soldiers are in there upset because one day air no longer there that were there 24 hours in it! after experience we have also released again, the whole thing lasted about 2 hours and was very interesting. you can be there over night in prison, but must in my view nicht sein!=)
ja das war also mein erlebnis im gefaengnis, es war sehr lustig. also wenn ihr mal nach lettland fahren solltet und in liepaja seid, macht das mal mit!!!
was gibt es sonst noch neues?? gestern war bei uns martinsfest mit viel essen und mein kleiner gastbruder, der martinš heisst, hat viele geschenke bekommen, weil es ja sein namenstag ist!!
achja ich kann endlich schwimmen gehen, ich habs geschafft. ich geh jez 6x die woche zum training 1-2h und hab vorher an manchen tagen noch krafttraining! das ist total toll und krieg endlich mal den lettlandspeck runter...=)
ansonsten gibt es nicht viel neues...mein lettisch wird immer besser, ich lerne jetzt ventspili, dass ist auch lettisch aber in ventpils spricht Latvian is different, this is how we at Bavarian. and oh yeah I've learned Needlecrafts =), then heard the for a Latvian girl =). no, but I was sick the last week and I was bored and my host sisters crochet the whole time, and there have nuja she taught me!
yes ok that's it first again ... thank you so much for your cards, letters and emails I have received lately .. I'm always very happy ... Paldi, Paldi, Paldi!
well so I hope you soon and I hope I was once again hear from you!
ok so see you soon ... love you guys ... sanne

otherwise ok so here is a lot happened in the meantime! many great stuff but not so great things! but of course I'll start with the awesome! a few weeks ago we had a sports day at my school, it was like all the schools are taken by our ventspils olimpic centr each other and there are arrayed against each other! in all possible sports: swimming !!!!, basketball, athletics, etc.! that was all a bit like the Olympic games set up, so really .. great with Olympic torch and incoming fire and was so .... the! Then there was the Teachers' Day! so because it was so that we all have our class teacher brought flowers again! and to this day do not have special teachers to teach the 12 ... well done and how you imagine koennt hatten wir nicht wirklich unterricht..also ich haette an dem tag eigentlich 9 stunden gehabt aber wir konnten schon nach der 3. gehen weil die 12 kein bock mehr hatten..aber es war trotzdem lustig!!!dann hatten wir noch einen tag wo wir die 11er was fuer die 10er vorbereiten mussten, zur begruessung weil sie ja jetzt auf der highschool sind!!! das kann man eigentlich so ein bisschen wie den chaostag der 12er vergleichen! also die 10er wurden mit lippenstiften vollgemalt und dann sind wir in einen park gegangen, aber vorher wurden die 10er zusammen gekettet, und dort mussten sie dann irgendwelche hindernissparcoure durchlaufen, natuerlich immernoch zusammen gekettet!!!ja und zum schluss waren alle nass, weil sie das mit diesem teich nich so auf die reihe ... have got! but they have not complained !!.... I was the last time we in again for a
riga and it was so funny ... I'm on another exchange student .. and we slept with johanna ham taken hold as nausea with the other of yfu and were at open house in the YFU office! missing on friday night we were waterpipes locally in one that was smoking real fun there, and water pipe makes a lot of fun! then on Saturday night was at johanna a party where the water pipe was not allowed (I think this is so typical Latvian) and because once again we had to have lots of fun! which we in Riga are always a welcome change to the normal everyday! that we had somehow typical Latvian!
on friday i was with my older host sister at a birthday party! and the girlfriend of her celebrated in a sauna .. so satisfied such a pirtsparty! that was so dependent as we have drunk a little nausea and have danced and then you could if you wanted to go in the sauna!
on Saturday we celebrated the birthday of my host father! which of course again with sauna was so so slow I think I'm the saunagaenger I come to the right to nem contract ... and I also always better =))
yes on the day I also finally met my
remaining ancestral and the
are all super cute! my one gastopa knew me not arrived when she looks at me and he knew of course nicth who I am and then someone told him the girl I'm from Germany and he was like, ah German girl, good German girl, I like German girl! that was so funny ... others of the kinship I have always verwegselt with my older host sister ... anyway it is my so many that I see her fully similar ....!!!!
nuja so that was that we ....!!!
I'm now a week and then school
may I also call myself a vacation kind! next saturday i will go with my host family to Riga because there is a place to meet yfu, I'm glad there already total on it and am very excited as the other is given up now so!
with the Latvian it is always better .. I now get tutoring from the German teacher and my host sister, that's totally great and is so slow that even what to talk to the Latvian! I'll give me trouble!!
oh yeah I had at the beginning said that not so great things have happened! So a few weeks ago it was with me in the first ventpils gymnasium (which is not my school) a student of the knife with a student went off on 4 other .... that was pretty awesome, because I would have never thought him as well so what happened! Of course, but the student now sits in prison, so no reason to worry! naja and then goes to the time still
ne menengietisepedemie in Latvia in order ... so at my school already 2 ill student and now when another student falls ill then the school closed for 2 weeks ... for protection! and Latvia are in another part of almost 300 sick people make .... but no ... the sanne put away the!

Keep Getting Bumps On Inside Of Nose

school in Latvia

hy love her!
here now so once again a small report from me i wanted a bit of the school tell here, because it really quite a difference in contrast to the school in Germany! So the teachers are here in latvia tolerant of something .. that can really get away with murder (the apologize in advance ... you'll still understand why!) actually is the school here is very stressful and hard! die erste stunde beginnt erst um 8 das ist echt gut und dann geht eine stunde 40 min!in der erste schulwoche hatten wir eine "probewoche" das heisst das wir unseren richtigen stundenplan noch nicht bekommen haben sondern erstmal nur so ein paar stunden jeden tag hatten! da musste ich auch jeden tag erst 8.50 in der schule sein und hatte nur bis 14 uhr unterricht!das war echt toll, und ich bin fast aus den latschen gekippt als ich montag meinen richtigen stundenplan gekriegt habe!ich habe montag 8, dienstag 9, mittwoch 9, donnerstag 8 und freitag 7 stunden...das ist wahnsinn! aber was auch echt toll ist, dass meine direktorin meinte das ich nach der "probewoche" entscheiden soll zu welchen faechern ich gehen will und zu den faechern zu den ich nicht gehen will geh I just do not stop! teaching subjects which are essentially as in dtl. the only thing that is different, there are business, cultural history, psychology, ecology and health with something like that ... but I still have no proper translation found! ok so the lesson here is so that the teachers all the time dictated write and the students! that's pretty hard for me because I do not understand and so can not help to write as I do not even know how I write the words must! but a bit then I'll write more about my neighbor from bank but I have no idea what I write as always! otherwise I will still not get bored if I can not even take notes, then I look just great in my order and see things the war there the funniest! So one hears loud music and listen to the I can, the next schmickt be painted and sms the nails, another writes or telfefoniert, or they eat and drink in class yesterday, one of the other, the eyebrows plucked and they talk of course the entire time loudly through the whole class! yes and the teacher did not disturb the that makes calmly continue with the lessons! now you do and what I mean by that the teachers here are very tolerant! what surprises me still is that the students in spite of everything pretty well in school I do not understand how they do that! which is also pretty verwundernd they expect everything in math in my head the company never seen a calculator that their examinations at the end of the 12 without writing calculator! ok, it's still not here so that the stapler take special in any way to write in little booklets and they write all the time .. with kulli! I've unpacked my Pens, they have first looked with great surprise, that was pretty funny! yes ok, so how do you see here is the school an experience that made me here every day for very exciting!
otherwise, I ate yesterday, the national food of latvia beans with bacon! I would have thought that I absolutely do not taste but it was totally delicious! The food here is generally very good, if rather greasy!
we were a few days ago noch in der sauna! das war total aufregend, es ist so das die letten mit badebekleidung in die sauna gehen und als ich ihnen erzaehlt habe das man in dtl nackt in die sauna geht haben sie grosse augen gemacht, und am meisten hat sie gewundert das maenner und frauen zusammen in die sauna gehen! es hat aber trotzdem total viel spass gemacht! wir haben uns mit birkenzweigen geschlagen und so ein komisches selbstgemachtes kaffeepeeling aufgetragen! das war echt total toll und ich freu mich schon aufs naechste mal!
dann habe ich mir letztens den sonnenuntergang am strand angeguckt das war echt total toll! ich wohne ja 5 km von der ostsee entfernt!
ja ok soviel dazu...ich hoffe euch geht es allen gut und ich hoer mal von euch...ich freu mich ueber jede nachricht!
soon ..
I love you guys ..

Getting Wrinkles Out Of Nylons

The first day of school and my first weekend in Riga

ok now I post something a little bit about my totally exciting to live here in great latvia! I can now write regular as we now have internet at last, for which we even have like a tree! Any case, this is a been very joyful events and what is very nice too, we will now get drinking water soon! the water which is currently out of our taps drip namely is yellowish-brown and report to blood or iron (I have not yet made the right choice)! in any case the real progress here, the experience I can! the preset schonmal: excuse my German but I said, come all mixed up in recent times with the denn ich sprech hier neben ein paar saetzen lettisch auch englisch, russisch und deutsch und da kommt mal schon mal etwas schneller durcheinander!
ok also der erste schultag war total interessant fuer mich, weil das hier total anders ist als in deutschland!der erste schultag, der 1.september, ist ein ganz bedeutender tag und die vorbereitungen dafuer beginnen bereits schon am vortag, so auch im hause buks! wir haben also schon am 31. august begonnen unsere haare zu frisieren, unser make-up aufzulegen und haben unsere sachen fuer den naechsten tag angezogen! und das alles einfach nur um zu gucken ob auch alles gut aussieht und ob alles zusammenpasst damit am naechsten tag auch ja nichts in letzter minute schief gehen kann! die letten sind ja eigentlich sehr spontane people but I had the feeling that they lose this spontaneity as it rotates around the 1st of September!
was the next day then so far, we got up early, have us very dressed up, because that to do so (the guys even had a suit, at least most) and then drove with my two sisters to school! , I had to be at 9:00 in the school! On the way to school we have some quick flowers for the class teacher bought! (The great, also, that a girlfriend size of my host sister was going well in my class and I have already a few days ago already met him, so I on the day not quite so alone was!) As we had arrived at the school have we put our things in the classroom and then all the schulfhof out! there were many people there total, students all teachers, students as well as lots of the parents! then when everyone had gathered in the schoolyard, could begin! First, the anthem was played by Latvia, then had some student classes in the program prepared a little higher and this presented! Next, the small, new student welcomed solemnly, that was totally cute! and as financial statements, the director still held a talk, I understood nothing of course, but she did not take all of the students report for this school year exchange student from Germany to learn one of their school is! then they called my name and I still welcomed in German! that's really very nice of her but have people staring at me all and I would like to be buried in the ground! ok ... so when the director was ferig then we all went into our classrooms and I have my class to know! (I think I have not mentioned it but I go to year 11!) I was actually a bit afraid because they had told us on the owo the Latvian students are not very interested in exchange students and doll them out rather to walk away than to approach them! in my case that was fortunately not so, my schoolmates were very nice to me and my fears were unfounded! We are then only yet gone through the list of names and have the timetable on Monday got! then we were already ferig and could go again! go when we have then our class teacher, where the flowers! the leherer get in Latvia often given flowers and I would interssieren times what they do with all the flowers are in our class for about 31 student and as you can imagine what then for a lot of flowers to carry home! but somehow I find it's a really nice idea!
ok ... so this was the first school day in ventspils! after I came from school it was for me the matter now, because I am over the weekend and I went to Riga in magda usual! Magda is also a exchange student from Germany and I know it from my VBT! The main reason why
I went to Riga, was so firmly in Riga on the occasion of the first school day! that was set in a park and had yfu there also was had and we should go there to distribute flyers, talk to people with us to sing and dance and just have fun! The only problem was that I arrived very late in riga I hours by bus 3 of ventspils'm going to riga! I am arrived in Riga, I had only a 3 / 4 hour to be firm on this, but it was still totally beautiful so many people see again from yfu! had degraded after we then yfu stand, we have my stuff to magda do! (Oh yeah, we do not know, only one was Pland in maschiert hand through Riga and tried to come to magda, but it worked and we have arrived! Is now specifically for Alexander, because you know how bad mine is a sense of orientation and then city also in a totally alien, you can be proud of your little sister!) after we were so in magda, we met with some other exchange students and are a little run through the city and were in a cafe, which was totally delicious there! (Who wants the time to Riga, I can only double-cafe "recommend that is really totally good!) Riga at night is really great and there is raging in the night life or that! We did it after a while so the feet hurt so much that we decided to go home! Thus was the day then exited too! The next day we went shopping then! Here there are shops really great! I call now just a few: Seppälä (which is similar to h & m), bik bok, and there are also vero moda and Zara and I noticed that there is in Latvia really great shoe and schmucklaeden! in this whole weekend I've totally seen a lot of riga, I think we have explored almost all the old town, and we had so much fun and I'm looking forward there will be total weeks on my next trip to the weekend in 2!
yes ok ... so much happening on the first of the great letzten wochen...wenn ihr zu irgendetwas ne frage habt, fragt mich ruhig ich freu mich total ueber interesse! ach ja und ich kann hier wahrscheinlich schwimmen gehen...juhu!
mit meinem lettisch mach ich auf fortschritte...ich hab mir jetzt pinocchio auf lettisch vorgenommen!
ok ...das wars erstmal von mir..ich freu mich ueber jeden brief und jede e-mail und jede sms von euch! ich ver misse euch .....bis bald...liebe gruesse aus dem tollen lettland!.....
