While listening Iztok Mlakar and feeling a bit homesick I decided to take some time to do something that I've been postponing for quite some time. December was pretty busy, that's why I could not put more pictures sooner.
Since it's winter we did not have any havy work outside. We had some interesting meetings tough. The first was the EVS meeting which has been organized by Azra and me and took place here in Banska Štiavnica, a beautiful historic town which diserves more attention from us in the future.
So, the meeting which had 20 participants, all of them EVS volunteers in Slovakia, like me and Azra started in the "famous" tea house, where we drank tea and had a briefing of what we are going to do in the wekend that was ahead of us.
This is Eric, a very simpathic EVS volunteer from France, doing what french love very much - eating bread. :)
A lot of different cultures in one room.
Tetyana and Yuliya from Ukraine.
Janis (Latvia), Elisabeth (Denmark), Edita (Lithuania), Gisele (Brasil).
Every participant got a small present from me and Azra and we played "The Egg game" which was meant to be how we care abouth someone that we really love... but it was not so succesful unfortunatelly. :) On the picture you can see another french volunteer - Michel.
Michel and Tuomas (Finland).
Tetyana, Yuliya and Conal (England).
Azra, Gergana (Bolgaria)

Ice braking game.
Then we went to the mine by walk. This is Yuliya.
Yes, Janis is wearing a T-shirt even if it's freezing. We are already used to him. :) When I asked who if he is going with us to the mine, he asked: "will be cold there?"... and I said "NO", because I was afraid he yould not come. And then he said "OK, if it's not cold, I'm not going". :)
Waiting to enter the mine.

We went bowling. It was really nice.

Funny Conal.

And the last evening, on Saturday we were sitting, talking and singing around the camp fire in our garden. It was a very nice evening.
Azra and me again.
And this is the last picture that this camera saw. :) The next day we went to the teahouse again and one by one slowly went home.I must say that it was tough to organize a meeting like this, but at the end we hope people had fun. We were tired but happy at the end.
