Cactus, Pumpkin and Donuts in Romania!

Flat Emily week 8

In a few days we are going to Cluj Romania for three weeks.  On Sunday we went to Sibiu and went to church there and also we got long donuts too!  If you ever go there make sure to get them 😀.  I have two snails as pets and thirty outside in a great little area for them.  I’m writing about raccoon dogs and I will put a pic here.  Yesterday we went to a different base that has a school for Roma kids and helps build houses for them.  Where the Roma kids live there are 150 houses and 600 people!  That is a lot of people and still more coming!  I can count to 19 in Swiss – German now!  Au revoir!

Let me tell you how we go to Romania.  First we went on a plane ride from Dublin, Ireland to Germany for a little layover, then to Austria, and then to Bucharest, Romania.  That night we went on a train ride.  It was my first train ride ever and we were in a sleeper car.  I got to sleep on the top bunk.  When we finally arrived we were supposed to get to Medias at 7:30 am, but we really got here at like 8:30. 

We are staying in a house with 19 people, so it’s kind of crowded but not really.  There are three families including us and four students.  I am really glad that we could see the Norwegians again.  It has been fun playing with them. 

Today we went to a Ukrainian school and I was the dinosaur there.  It was very fun. We played red light green light, hide and seek, and danced around.  Also when I was here I accidentally got poked by a cactus when we were playing pumpkin.  Because for pumpkin you have to close your eyes.  We are making a little home for snails outside, because we found a bunch in the backyard.  All the kids are helping.  The End!

Morocco Ireland Romania and learning German!

 FE week 6

Last week we did a lot of different things and I shall tell you about them.  On Monday we got Starbucks and ice cream.  On Tuesday we went to the park that I will tell you more about later.  Wednesday we did a bible study that was super fun. Thursday was just school and Friday was also kind of boring.  Ok, now I will tell you about the park.  It has a zipline type thingy, a super fast slide, a really weird merry go round type thingamabobber, and other playground things.  

Lastly, I will tell you a secret, THE ICE CREAM HERE IS SOOOO GOOD!!! Auf Wiedersehen für jetzt!Good bye for now in German.

 

 FE week 7!

This week we are in Romania!  When we got here it was SNOWING!!!  Soooo fun right?  It was almost everyone’s first time riding on a train. (It was not Kati’s first time)  Another fun thing was that the Norwegains are here. We had not seen them for 3 weeks, 5 days and 8 hours but who’s counting? We all had a snowball fight and we taught them how to play pumpkin.  The only bad thing that happened was that Winston accidentally touched a cacti.  (It must have hurt) Ciao!
