The next highlight this week was followed on Thursday, I was invited by the Hesed an excursion in and around Minsk to take part under the motto, but we live in Minsk, but we know our city really? Since the participants of the excursion were mostly a little older but we drove first three hours by bus from Minsk and our tour guide told a lot about Minsk. On Freedom Square in Nemiga we are then also got out because she wanted to show us there in the few remaining streets like Minsk looked like before the war. That was for me a completely new impression, I mean above all Minsk than in typical Soviet style know. For many of the grannies and Opis aroused the particular memories of the Minsk her youth and a woman who before the war had just lived there, where we passed then described to me exactly how it looked in the past.
took the rest of the tour again by bus from place and the final then we went to a town just outside of Minsk. There in Ratamka the horses of the Belarusian national team rider training and we were watching in the arena in a tournament.
But the smell of horses, stables and riding school has reminded me of the last few years (help, the melancholy sounds xD).
Then, when one of the coaches us something about the plant in Ratamka and the horses all listened very excited:
Friday I was still there is yes in Novinki still quarantined, with Marina, who I met in the History Workshop, government in psychiatry. She works there because they must serve their two years after the obligation to study and make there art therapy, music therapy and such. She also coordinates volunteers there. I was with her then in a ward for dementia patients, where we first play music and have even talked later with two older men, while we have kneaded. One told us he had used to be Harmonium (again a harmonium, so ego a week ... kinda) play when we asked him what had been his favorite song, he began with a very thin voice to Katyusha . sing This was a very moving moment. Otherwise, my impression is depressing front of all of psychiatry. On desolation she can, especially on the wards, very good match for the children's home and adult home in Novinki and the most remarkable impression on me was the wall in the so-called disco room, where on the wall written all many with the computer list, hung all in the same font and font size and all exactly side by side, on which such things as anger, sadness, pain but also joy, happiness and satisfaction were, to which Marina explained to me that the patients have these "self" made. Nevertheless, I have also seen that the workshops and also much that Marina showed me what they have tinkered there, done really nicely and was also beautiful, what puts the external negative impression yet again.
It was now first again enough about me, while in Germany next week will be carnival (which I have right now for the German club must write a text), is celebrated Maslenitsa, dadrüber is there next time also determines something to tell. also now sometimes something else, which seems to have gone to Germany apparently complete: http://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=13739 . I think there is not much to say except that it proves once again how the president is pathetic but ...
Всего хорошего, Йоханна
