Y! M! C! A!


Yes...so no some pictures of the festival in Prague! It was really amazing...there were about 10'000 people from YMCAs of all over Europe and even other continents. So there were guys from Togo, India, Corea, the States, Colombia and even Honduras as well! And I met all the girls I met in february in Belarus again. It was so great to meet all this friends again and to make new friends as well of course. So here you see just me, than a part of the opening show, when all the countries had to bring up ther flag on stage, then Sergej my "boss" during this week and picture of Prague by night. It's really nice the festival being situated right in the city of Prague. So when ever you feel like, especially during your free time at night, you could go for a walk to the center.
I've been as a volunteer at the festival, working in the translation group but as most of the people giving a show on stage or participating at a work-shop knew english, we hadn't so much work. I had maybe to translate like 10 minutes a day by average, so could fully enjoy the festival and had the plus to live in the international volunteers hostel, which was very closed to the festival site. As a volunteer I also had more contact with people from different countries. Especially with russians and belorussians, as meanly translations from russian to english were needed. So I spoke a lot of russian during this week. Excellent exercise!
