After 5 months without real holiday I finally had a week off last week. I went back to Bern because my sister returned form USA lately, to celebrate my dads birthday, to meet some friends. And of course I went to Bern to watch the aare-fireworks for 1. august. Afterwards on thursday I went to St. Gallen to look for a room in a flat. I visited 5 different flats and hope I´ll find something soon.
On friday I left home already as I went to Tanzschiff on Bodensee. Originally we planned just to go as party delegates but then we decided to take part in IPS workshop. I´m really glad of this decision because I actually for the first time liked the workshop (and especially the participants) more than the party itself. The simple reason is that we were all trainees and the workshop was more like discussions, connecting with people and of course having a lot of fun in different environments (Weinfest, coffee bar in Konstanz or workshop room).
But during this workshop was a really strange situation: we had a session together with XPS - the ones who want to be trainees and go abroad. When they were asked what they´re proud of about Germany everyone was silent. It was strange because the WS was more for XPS people but the ones who were talking were facis and trainees from IPS workshop. After some time we found out, that some of them just can be proud of things they achieved on their own and not of things others achieved centuries ago. So we asked them what they like about Germany, what they would present abroad or what they would tell someone abroad who might be interested in going to Germany for a traineeship. Someones answer: That´s in central europe and your really fast abroad... Someone who was asked how she would explain where her hometown is located replied: It´s close to Netherlands...
Is that really what you want to hear if your interested in Germany? Why do Germans come up mostly with negative points if they´re asked "What are typical german characteristics"? Did those guys just not think about such stuff before or are typical german characteristics really just negative and they can´t be proud of them/like them?
Anyway, Nicole and Heidi thanks for being great Facis. And Ludmila, Keiko, Gonca, Shadi and Mikhail it was really nice to meet you guys and have fun together! You really made my weekend!
