Long time, no post.
Okay.. so I haven't posted in a while but that's just becuase in catching up in school after coming back, posting hasn't been my biggest priority. While I was at a motel for the last 3 days I also couldn't find a computer :P
The day after I arrived at Olja's I had to leave to the Old Oak Motel :'( But her mother father and sister were GREAT hosts and I hope I can come back! I even got cake for breakfast one morning...yummm. Now I had to wake up at 5:00am to eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and get dressed, and then say my good-byes to my new friends because we had to get a ride to a pick-up point. A bus came by later on to pick us up and we picked up more people along the way! I saw a few people from previous peace camps and I had a great time, my dad even talked to a few people in the back of the bus :P As the trip passed on I learned that "cookies" are actually called "cakes" in Serbia so I had a good laught to myself. After an hour or so (becuase we were in an air tight bus with no AC or opening windows) I started to get sleepy from lack of oxygen, hahahahaha. Not like it wasn't the first time so I went to sleep for an hour straight. I eventually woke up and started talking to Goran so that I wouldn't fall alseep unwantedly again.The trip was long and when we got to the Old Oak Motel it was raining. I checked in last becuase the guy at the desk spoke Srbian an din't realise that I skope English... ONLY! :P . I found out that I was bunked with Elise and Alyssa again (no regrets) and chucked my stuff in my room. When I went to get brunch everyone had alsready been at the motel for a day so I sat down and chatted to people. I sat at a table with Uros, Dusan, Aleksandra, and Olja. We talked, they talked, signing books were passed around, people at the head table (only youth because it's a Y2Y confrence) opened the confrence and the cameras were rolling! All very good for me. We were put into groups and I was in Goran's. He tal;ked to us about "Gossip". We all had good fun and played some games related and showing gossip. I later went back to the motel room to relax and on my way back outside who was I to come across than a little stray dog that obviously stayed around the motel. He jumped up infront of me and tried to play with me and I gave in. I raced him a little way, gave him a pat on the head, and left. The rest of the day is forgotten to me except for the fact that every moment of this trip was great!!! That night the little dog got attacked and so at least 5 of us stayed out doors with it for about 30min taking care of it. We decided to name it Motel. Motel loved us all after that and I sneaked him a bit of every meal that I had ever since then, until the day we had to leave. The next morning We talked more and there were the camera's again. But out of the whole day, the most refreshing part was an hour walk with Motel and his other friend that we named Oakra (Oak + Opera). He and she would follow me everwhere and I'd play with them the whole way.
This is all for now because I need to refresh my head of the nest after thinking of all this.
I'll post soon,
Kate
