Nova etapa..

[listening to Fermin Muguruza eta Dut]

February has a lot of meanings. Is the month without tail (28 days), the month of holidays for many students (fibers cabrooonns, que teniu 4 setmanes!) and a month between two erasmus periods.
There are three kinds of erasmus periods: the 1st semester, the 2nd semester, or going both (which is my case). And february is the month in the middle, when the first group leaves and the second arrives. Is it hard for those who leave, because they want to stay longer, but is also hard for those staying here, because we see how more than half of our friends leave and, although a lot of new people arrive, is not the same (come on!), they are in the situation we were almost 6 month ago, is like starting again the erasmus, but with them, with this new group of people, called the "2nd semester ones".
But is not that sad :). We (the ones staying the whole year) know that the best experiences for us still have to come. We will have time to know each other more and the "whole year" group will be the one with deeper relationships. Sure :).
But it will be a new stage within the big stage called "erasmus year", without Laura, without Kasia, without my catalan girls jiji (Anna[belgian-chocolate.blogspot.com], Agnès, Mercè), without more people that already left (Gabri) and much more others; without that atmosphere/feeling of knowing almost everyone in most of the parties, without...
Good trip back home for those leaving! We will miss you!!
But with warmer weather (yes, I believe in that xDD. Maybe not in february, but in may...), with trips (I will explain later on), more parties, new experiencies, new people,... And a lot of friends coming to visit me!! :D. Next one, Bernat (Vernel per les senyores de fer feines)! On sunday!

So, this was the "deep" part of the post xDD. Now more normal things!

Trips trips trips!!

In two sundays (the 4th) an erasmus caravan is going to Venice, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia. FLipa colega! And "caravan" because we are seven, "tenim molta cara" and we will travel by van (cara+van=caravan ju ju ju). We fly to Venice, and at night we go to Ljubljana, where we rent the van. And then 6 days through all these countries, back to Ljubljana, train back to Venice, one night of carnaval there :D, and back to Belgium! I'm looking forward to it :DDDDDDDDDD. And with already some arrangements of meetings with local people in every country. Nice nice nice nice!


And in April, Norway (of course!). Oslo and Bergen are the next destinations. Wooooww! I didn't imagine my wish of visiting a lot of countries while being on erasmus would become real. More ideas :D? My thirst for travelling never ends! But maybe the money will... :S.. But I don't mind spending my money in discovering places, cultures, people...



And the question of the week!!!!!!!

Previous explanation: We are going to that trip by van. And Bosnia, for me, is maybe the most interessant country. It sounds really different, with war not many years ago, with a log of conflicts.. And I have the sentence "there is war in Bosnia" in my mind from when I was a child, so it sounds very interessant for me. And I had a comic about Srebrenica, an ong's project, but I don't remember wel...

------ Can someone explain here what happened in Srebrenica some years ago?-------

It's not a nice thing, and it's related to the war in Bosnia. All general info. about that war and specially about what happened in Srebrenica is a good answer. I don't know exactly so, if you can help me :).

-----------------------------------

This is all for now my friends! Keep on writing your comments!

Petons i abraçades,

Quim.

PS: Oh yes, I almost forget it! I'm in holidays already!! I've finished my exams! And at least the second one was good! So, I feel better after a terribly difficult exam that I'm going to fail.. :( (that was the first subject. I'm following two. It seems not much, i know, what these have each one more than 300 pages of theory!! in english!!). Good luck for you too!

    well, about Srebrenica;

    there was the biggest mass killing after 2nd WW in Europe (can even say a genocide) of Bosnian muslims in 1995. more than 8000 men and boys were killed by the bosnian Serbs (under the "instructions" of Radovan Karadžić, Ratko Mladić - those guys have not seen the court yet...). After the "massaker" they burried all the people into several halls so even today families are searsching for their dead relatives trying at least to burry them decently.
    The area was from 1993 under UN, 600 Dutch soldiers were taking care for the safety of it, so many muslims found their shelter there. Then, the Serbs attacked, the UN soldier couldn't / didn't do anything against and all the rest is now history (and grief of the relatives..)
    i bet there's much more to say, much more information abbout so if you just check it in google or somewhere else you'll find a lot of further information. just be careful from which sources you reed ;)

    take care and see you in Slovenia!

  • thanks anonymous xl ganxo! "Ganx graf /" ?? una mica d'explicació? qui ets x cert?

    Thanks Maroo!! Really good explanation. I know I can find more in google but, as I said in the last post (the first one with question of the week) is that is nicer to know it from other people, who explain it specially for you. And think that yes, if I want more information I will have to check google because I don't think someone will be able to give more information!
    And what about the thinks I commented you in the e-mail?

    Yes, see you in Slovenia :)!

    Salut,

    Quim.
