Presentation of our countries/ Prezentace nasich zemi

Tuesday, 19th February, and the Module 1(=Comparative studies) with Jette Laursen...our homework for today was to prepare presentations about our countries and tell the others what we suppose to be special and typical of the place we come from... At first we set off the journey to Belgium and find out that it is not only the country of chocolate, waffles and beer, but that the country is nowadays going through a serious crisis that is concerned with the existence of the state itself ( there are two parts in Belgium- the Flemish part in the North and the French-speaking part in the South and politicians are discussing the possible division of these two parts which would lead in fact to the disappearance of Belgium from the map of Europe!)..sth not so serious...did you know that Belgium is the "cradle" of fries that are wrongly called French fries:-) and that Belgium is the country of birth of Jean Claude van Damme?!;-) Then it´s up to us, "or Czech Three" to familiarize our mates with our small republic...we made a nice Power-point presentation ( self-praise is not good, I know, but still it´s pity, you can´t see it:-)) presenting some basic facts, but also the less known infos about our country ( rich history, traditions, nature, culture and in the end we couldn´t forget mention about famous Czechs and what is typical of CR that is known all over the world- e.g. the beauty of our girls- Miss World 2007 etc.:-) And then Daniel and a quick tour through Germany (the system of traffic signs was really funny;-))...
Danish lesson follows and new phrases are attacking our brains (Hvordan gar det?-How are you?:-))..It´s also Tim´s birthday today so birthday songs can´t be missing...even one in Czech!;-)
Evening and film "Goya´s Ghosts" that we watch at girls´ place along with two German students that came here for 14 days for a school practice...and falling asleep with a bit worried mind about tomorrow...;-)
