HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORA !

25 novembre 2007

Saturday night, invited to ČESKÁ Třebová by Nora, the new German volunteer who took over the post of ZOÉ, to celebrate her birthday ! Quite a nice evening and night ! There were four other volunteers, from the same ´prom´ as Nora : Valeria (Italy), Cristina (Finland), Jana (Austria), and Nara (Armenia, who is also Nora´s flatmate and co-worker). Yes, it is all a story of A !

On the 1st pic : Jana + Nora + Cristina. On the second : me and Valeria.

It was first quite weird, because obviously they didn´t know I was EVS and French, they told me they thought I was Czech, because I looked like a Czech ( !! ty vole !! ) and also because I spoke English without the French accent (good!). So, as soon as my true identity was unveiled, the party could get started. First, in the famous Modry Trpaslik... But it was considered too noisy, and 70 Kč the entrance !

So we went to Pod Skalkou, 40 Kč. However, it proved unbearable there, with the techno music, and the youth in the place made me feel sooo old ! So, we stayed only 30mn, and went back to Modry Trpaslik to watch and listen the marvelous locals bands as you can see on the picture :)

It was fun to see the new generation of EVS in Czech Republic. Funny thing also to be able to tell that Valeria is replacing a volunteer I knew, and Cristina also ! I feel like the Memory of 2007. The (not so) funny thing is that probably no one will replace me in Lanškroun in January. The three candidates considered eventually gave up for one reason or another... Sad.
