Diary Fani - Chapter 1: Wrzesien i Pazdziernik

Hi! I’m Fani and I want to share my first emotions and feelings here. Two months ago I came to Poland. In this time I have experienced many emotions, everyday is new to me. I remembered that in the beginning living here was not easy, because a lot of things are different. For example, the communication was hard, we didn’t understand the polish language (now not yet, but we understand more wordsJ) and I had to practice my English. Now the communication is more fluent. Other different things to me were the weather and the food. In Spain the weather is warmer, and in this season we still have high temperatures, this change was a little shock for me. Moreover, the food is different too, but I’m getting used. I like the soups! I think that are really healthy and nutritious because they have a lot of ingredients.
Otherwise, people were very kind and hospitable and they helped us a lot when we arrived. People take care of us, seriously. We are trying to know more and more the polish culture and live in this context.
For example, this weekend we went to a concert of Lao Che, it was amazing, they are really good musicians and the show was very well. I think that in Poland there are good musicians, especially there are a lot of rappers, for me it is really curious, because, you know the polish language have many sounds and I think the pronunciation is so difficult. I like so much this combination, this language with rap, but honestly, for me it is very difficult to understand the lyrics!  We are still adapting to new situations, but now I feel better.
About Zamosc, what most impresses me about this city is the history, especially the history of the Second War, it is really hard. When we went to Rotunda, I was very impressed because I’ve never been in a place like this. But think that is interesting and important know the history of the countries and cities, because the history is part of the people’s life and you can understand better more situations.  One day the seniors who go to the activities in Okraglak explain how was the life in this age and they told their personal histories. It must be hard having lived all that.
I’m happy because I have known Poland in autumn and it’s so nice! The fusion of the colours, green, red and yellow in the forest is amazing! But, now I’m worried because the trees start to lose their leaves and...The winter is coming!



About our work in the project, we everyday have more activities. I enjoy our work. The workshops with seniors now are better because we interact more, and the workshops are creative, we made “kurczaks” with fabrics, collage...

The workshops with children are very good too, Igi and me enjoy a lot these activities and we spent really good time with these girls.  Other thing that for us is really good is the tandem of languages, because we know many people and can improve our skills together.

Moreover, we are doing presentations in many high schools to explain our project. In the beginning we were so nervous, because it was new for us, but now we are doing this more relaxed. And we are will do other activities with “doctor clown”. J
