UBC Vancouver
Měl jsem zarezervované dvě noci v Pacific Spirit hostelu na UBC, jejíž prostředí mě velmi oslovilo. Jedná se o takové univerzitní město na výběžku Vancouveru. Spousta zajímavých učeben, muzea, restaurace, studentské spolky, koleje, knihovny, obchody, kavárny. Vše na jednom místě. Areál je obehnaný pásem dřevin, které výškově sestupují k plážím. Těch je hned několik, převážně…

Uspořádal jsem shrnutí své nedávné cesty do Kanady na přelomu června a července 2024. Každý pátek v příštích osmi týdnech zde vyjde jeden příspěvek. Inspirace Poslední dobou jsem všude vídal známky Kanady jako javor, javorový sirup apod a vnitřně to se mnou velmi rezonovalo. Do Kanady jsem se chtěl vždy podívat no a teď se…

DAY:8 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
Going back home. I felt much better after a good night’s sleep, so I managed to wake up a couple minutes sooner and get some stretching before breakfast. For breakfast, there were little sausages, so I got two. Also, I had coffee and a bun with butter and jam. Interesting combination, however I enjoyed the…

DAY:7 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
Tomorrow, we’re departing. We discussed each part of the programme in groups and gave a point value to the ideas and performances. I personally liked video creation the most, as well as paintball. In the evening, the main organiser, let’s call him Mateusz, finally came out of the dark. It was the first time he…

DAY:6 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
Everyone’s dead, Dave. Literally. Yesterday, I made an agreement with myself that I would go and exercise in the morning. I woke up at eight and really did go, it made me feel good as everyone else was still dead silent in their beds. Then I continued straight to breakfast. There were only around three…

DAY:5 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
Trip to Tarnow, where we were supposed to film reportages with locals. During breakfast, I decided not to go as I was feeling sick and sore from yesterday, I have probably done too much activity and my body needed rest. I spent the day mostly recharging in bed with the only exception – going to…

DAY:4 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
Finally, after breakfast, we gathered together and got into a bus heading to the paintball venue. The journey took around thirty minutes. We stopped near a forest, changed into paintball gear and started playing while treading in the deep snow. The first game was held in the style of team deathmatch. Our team had a…

DAY:3 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
The plan was to go for paintball – which turned out not to be true as it was mistakenly arranged for the following day. Instead, we gathered in the common room and watched an episode of Oxford talks – about the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Very interesting debating techniques were used there. We then split into teams…

DAY:2 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
The second day started with me getting good news from my bank account – the first scheduled payment from now almost two-year old project finally arrived, although it was around five days late and accompanied with an unkind message. I celebrated this by allowing myself to eat two pancakes for breakfast (and of course, some…

DAY:1 Anger is the worst advisor – an Erasmus+ project
After breakfast, which was in a style of an open-buffet, we headed again to the main room and spent the whole morning with other getting-to-know-each-other activities. One of them, for example, looked like this: We set up chairs across the common room randomly. As everyone got seated, one of them was left unoccupied and at…
