slow Saturday

Today was wonderful. We took a walk from Harritslev to Bogense. Very snowy and sunny weather - real pre-Christmas weather!!We also dropped by a library and back by horse riding place. It was very cold by the end. I borrowed some good book and also a danish film The Escape, which we saw in the afternoon.

Long weekend

This weekend is long and we already had free yesterday, on Friday!
We got lots of nice snow and Christmas tree in a yard! It looks beautiful.
I have not done anything special these days, just doing absolutely nothing, sleeping, and oh yeah we got some party and chill too. So, sleeping, chatting with friends and surfing Internet.
This week we made a small presentation of Estonian Song festival on Take the Future class. It has been fun, because we also printed out some songs and sung them together with Youtube. And yeah, again much homework to do, need to read read read :-)

English and a music

We had no English lesson today, as seems Anne-Lise became sick. But Ai played some wonderful music for us and we made some small translations for yearbook.
Later on, on wellness class we went for a meditation and walk on a beach. It was cold and windy, but at the same time, it was very fresh and it was nice to smell the sea. Each of us found a stone or a shell to concentrate on during the meditation.
Than we came back to the school and started with a hand massage, and back massage. It was a very pleasant to get relaxed.

Fishing

Sunday was a fishing!We went by car somewhere on country side. There were kind of 2 lakes and plenty of people with fishing equipment. I think there were around 20 persons for 2 small drops of water. We were there for some hours and no fish caught! Although some other fishermen got some fish. Than it started to rain and I went to the car, where i was sitting for an hour. Before that we made a little walking with Stiina, maybe for couple of km. I slept around one hour when we were back home.

- Japanese style

Yesterday we had Japanese style party with sushi and drinks. Sushi was great to make, it was the first time in my life I tried to make them. It went pretty well. I made some rolls and japanese people really liked it.
Party time, well...Time went pretty quickly..I also got some back and shoulder's massage. It was very painful, because I have hard muscles. Need to relax and train more. Also need to rest and make some light training while sitting long with PC, to strech muscles.
Today is Saturday and I slept really a lot after yesterday's party as I felt really sick. So I slept all the time after 12 am til a dinner time 6 pm. Actually, I even didn't want to eat much. Although i ate some good food - cooked potatoes and some vegetables, but without any appetite. I think I became a bit homesick. I like it here in school, but I miss my mum actually.
Tomorrow hopefully I sleep again and do some yoga together with Japanese girls.
Also I really need to do some homework and read documents for Take the future workshops.

Studying

Time is going and today is already Friday. Party time!!!Yeah, this time we will have sushi evening. And sushi are going to be made by japanese students. I will try to make some photos!
I have free time until the lunch, and after lunch we have Danish lesson, where I suppose to do more independent work, because my Danish skills are on more higher level than other students.
In fact, I understand Danish well, if danes are talking slowly. That is because if Norwegian language. And I think, I got really great experience while working on helpdesk and serving some Danish and Swedish customers.
Yesterday we had an interesting Core subject with Mette, where we talked about World in balance and a World in disbalanse. We made a little brain storming and made a picture on how our world could be. And what we could do in disbalanse situation to get it into harmony. It touchs both politics and educational institutions. My resolution was to communicate clear and proper information and motivation through political, press and educational institutions to people. So they have a chance to know current situation and be active about it, to be updated on problems and try to find solutions.
I think activity is a very important if we want to get a better life, a better situation and not to let problems grow within our society.

And I promised myself to tell you a bit about a course which I am going to take in December...
So, it will touch such topics as:
- mind's nature
- meditation and self - why deep meditation is needed
- Buddistic life philosophy - happiness nature and Nirvana
- How to find own methods to practise of mindfullness
strategy of living in every day
- 7 mindfull principles in a Danish case
- Authensity
- yoga - onesness, training and meditation
- cafe meetings with open discussion and life histories
- Bhutan - luck and spirituality - together with growing, culture and nature
- Luck and life joy - luck in Danish and Bhutan cases
- Industry and 'the good life' - about spirituality and pain in a life.

I am already looking forward to this course :-)

The taste of Danish coffee

Today was a bit different. First because I went to sleep tomorrow at 7 pm. I was too sleepy after sauna and biking. So today I wake up at 6 am and figured out there is no yoga today. But after breakfast I went sumba. Although I had so much pain in my shoulder that i decided to change a workshop for painting. I really enjoyed it, and made 2 paintings. Will make a photo of these later on. After the lunch we went to Odense university and attended the lecture about B. Obama which was pretty interesting. Also we got some tour of university which is quiet huge. Further on we had a dinner with lots of vegetables served. Cultural evening was the part of the afternoon. This time it was about people who lose the weight. Very interesting indeed.
Although today I decided to stay here for Christmas and attend a new course in January with the name 'Mindful Living'.

Welness

Day started at 7 am with yoga class, which lasted 40 minutes. We made different exercises and also exercises for streching. After this I had quick shower and went to the common room for a breakfast. I decided to reduce aamount of coffee I drink and drink more tea. Although I drunk 2 cup of coffees, some tea and ate a good a low fat yogurt. All products here are low fat and school concentrates on a healthy eating. We get lots of vegetables and low fat food. Day continiued with English class, - where we worked together in groups with Japanese students, lunch and then, a Welness class, - where we made some facial and hair masks, and then also learnt how to make face and head massage. It was really relaxing, and for sure I want to get more more more!! Time was going fast, dinner is waiting and by the end of the day we suppose to see some antropological film.

Denmark

So, now is my 3d day in Denmark, Harritslev. So far, I like it here. It is pretty tiny village with few houses and school building with a gym and some other houses surrounding, where the students live. We are Danish, Nepali, Estonians, Slovenian and Germans here. Yes, and of course, Japanese people. I share a room with a Japanese girl, she is nice and a very friendly. Time is going both fast and slowly here, depends on what to do. We already had excursion to a place where handicapped people are making handicrafts for selling, and we had a tea with some of them. Then we made a little trip to a local library, which was also nice. In the evening there was some small party in Japanese house, where people got really drunk (not me haha, i don't drink much usually)Today is saturday and it is going slowly, because there is absolutely nothing to do. Except we made a small bike trip to Bogense, which is very close to Harritslev. Also we biked a bit close by the seaside. It was very fresh air there!
