Sweden ohh Sweden, arrived on 2nd of July in the afternoon and wait at the airport for 4 hours before i went to the central station. hmm.. It was confusing cause i was alone in the middle of unknown place, but i need to survive till i meet my host family at the central station with my 2 heavy luggages and a box of noodles. I was waiting for almost an hour alone till they found me and Cris from Brazil after that. First Impression of her,, she's cool, crazy, talkative, and... many more haha she's fun! A little bit chit.chat with her till the bedtime and on the next day, we woke up early and got ready to go to the meeting point. They drove us to the central station to meet Mari from Brazil as well. but suddenly, there were 3 people or just a guy who asked Cris if She's from CISV, and they are the Norwegians (Henrik, Eirin, Ran) - Henrik recognized me anyway, that's why he came to ask Cris if we were from CISV haha. Then Mari came and not too long, Ellinor from Sweden and Paula from Finland came as well cause they had an appoinment to meet the Norwegians there. Finally Billy came to meet us as well. And yeaa time to put our luggages at the locker, so we could go around the city or the shopping area. Well, cause we were so many people there, so we decided to separate the group and met up again at the central station at the time we've decided and go to Slussen as our meeting point together. I was with Mari, Billy, and Cris just hang.around to see the nice city and Mari took some pictures of it. and it's..
Slussen tiimmeee!! We were there and met up the rest of the participants, had a small chatting to introduce ourself, met also the guy from the Swedish CISV people who'll bring us to the campsite. We used the bus to go to the campsite, but 1 stop before our campsite's stop, the staffs went it to the us with some funny outfits hahaha. At the camp, they introduced their self as the staffs and the campsite. Then we had freetime, some of them went swimming, but some of us just sit together took some photos and made some fun. ohh yeaa,, again i met Fred as my Village leader from Canada, he was my staff at this Seminar Camp hahaha cool uhh met 3 people in the same summer from my village camp 2002 :)
I think it's enough to tell about my first and 2nd day in Sweden haha now i need to talk about the whole camp..
First of all, i would liketo say I LOVE THIS SEMINAR CAMP A LOT!!! i dont know how to express it, but i'm proud of this camp. For the first and the second day, we didnt do too much planning cause all the staffs had prepared all the things to bring us understand how make the rules, how to make the schedule, how to make a good planning group, what activities and energizers, how to make a really good and meaningful activities, and so on.. For me, they did really well and creative.
Then like in the 2nd day to be there, We had our First Camp Meeting which was really hard cause we needed to talk a lot of things there and we haven't known well yet to each other, so we hadn't understand yet about everyperson's characters. We took so much time for it till we decided our new calender, rules, planning group, cooking group, cleaning group, and the schedule, also the people who were responsible to write it down on the paper. Well yeaa,, It was a really hardwork to do with so many stuffs to think for 3 weeks at the camp. By the time goes by, finally we got along to each other, we had fun together with some jokes and stupid things to do. But beside that, of course we also had so many problems in it, like about the cleaning which was really dirty at the toilet, cleaning for the dishes as well, about respect each other, and blablabla.. so many problems makes me don't remember all of it haha. That's why we had a lot of camp meeting while we were at the camp, just to find the solutions and also we should be responsible with everything we've decide.
At the camp, we had a pretty good schedule of activity and the type of the activities. I'm proud to all of you who have been thinking about a really nice, great, and meaningful games. We did a really good plans for it. Tiring and Stressfull, that's what happened to us.. Hmm.. We didn't have any theme for our own camp and at first it's hard for me to make the activity, but i tried to learn how to make a really god activities with so many ideas without the same point which we have to be related into it. It opens my mind a lot cause now i have a lot of ideas about the activities after we've done all the best activities ever!! All the activities what we've done are mostly related to the real life, it's kinda simulation games. Simulation games is one of the hardest games to prepare and we should really well-planned for it. But it's fun after we've succeed to do it!
Bout the friendship.. hmm.. This camp is the best ever!! I've never been like this before as crazy as the others, as talk.ative as the others, shared a lot of things i've known as my knowledge with them, and things i've never done before in my camps with CISV. And in this camp, I absolutely changed a lot! That's why i could feel the friendship between us, i could enjoy the time being there, i could forget allll the things in my real life, even my family or my friends or my hometown, i just forgot them for 4 weeks in Europe. It means i had something special from this camp and I'm proud to be myself..
At the last full day at the camp, we had a lot of things to do, like writting letters to all of us and print all the things for our campshirt. It was freaking wonderful for me..
conclusion:
1. I improve my english a lot!
2. I learnt a lot from the activities, from the situation, from the country, from the habit, from the differences, from respect each other, how to react, and many things..
3. I had a lot close friends and bestfriends
4. I learnt how to cook hahahaha
5. I learnt to be more mature than before
6. mooorreee and moooreeee.......
.. to be continued ..
