after the project, our hosts took us to the capital ljubljiana! the journey was, of course, beautiful. slovenia is such a beautiful country, so small, with only 2 million people, can you imagine? the day was sunny and chilly, it reminded me the nordic countries, and the energy of the people, the streets as well. oh i liked it so much. we met with a friend of j. who lives there, so we had a great tour in our short day there! we went up to the castle mountains everywhere! we saw an animated presentation about the city we went down by the beautiful markets and funny street art and after some spider man stunts we ate a delish horse burger! took silly pictures! OMG THEY HAVE THEIR OWN MOVIE ABOUT SCOUTS! and a beautiful way home with a lot of tatoos on the way - and sugar on the teeth i so so want to return, i loved it so much, o my god it's fluffy i'm gonna diiiiieeee!!

the 72 hours in slovenia happened between 25 and 28th of october 2010. this time it was different for me...instead of a study visit, i went as a volunteers with my friends! we set up a group and applied for a surprise project that took place in this beautiful place. in celje a big garage with old and broken bycikles was waiting for us and another group. we were part of the recikel bicikel group! but we found time to take pictures-to-our-mothers and get back to work again! this project exists not only during the 72h. a group of friends decided to teach everyone how to use tools and how to recycle bike materials. so they collect bikes and restore them. when they are ready, they are given to institutions or sold in auctions. all the profit goes to setting more workshops! me and jarka started working in a little bike with no tires and no breaks. we called her "sissi". it was pink with with polka dots, and we loooooooooooooooved sissi! we loooooooooooooooved as well the intercultural nights in the cottage, the food, the music, the great people! and the photoshootings with sissi were endless, we were so proud! behold, not only bikes were made! and here the whole group with all the bikes recycled during three days! thank you! it was so so great!
