Day 3, 8.11.2011 - V.I.C.P. - Very important comenius person/people!

Today was the day we (V.I.P.C) went to the Valencia cityhall. I think we were supposed to have rehearsals before that, but we left the school straight to the center of Valencia. Rumors were told, that we would be in local TV during our meeting with the city council. When we arrived, no tv-cameras could be seen. Instead, we got a real PAPARAZZI! :D We sat there listening the president of city council talk in spanish, a man next to her translating it in english.

After the speech, the president gave presents to the teachers, Big book about the history of Valencia (I dont know about how heavy it is to read, but atleast it's really heavy to carry! :D) We also gave them a book about Loviisa!

After all the giftgiving, was ofcourse time to take photos. So the paparazzi woman jumped in front of us and put us in nice rows and started taking photos. Eventually, her camera died (maybe the comenius group was just too hot to handle! :D) and she had to borrow Gonzalos one. Anyways, she got some good pictures, and here is one of them!

After all the photos were taken, we went to see a museum which lies inside the city hall.

First room we entered was called "the crystal room" because of two huge crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling. They weight 300kg each and I must say, the room was gorgeous, not just the lamps but the paintings and decorations in it!!

After the crystal room, we went to the actual museum, and got a spanish guide to tell us about the monuments and relics. It was actually quite interresting in my opinion, especially the fact that BAT is evolution of a Dragon! Some people thought the tour was bit too long, but after it was over, no one seemed too dead :) that was good, because it was AGAIN time for a group photo! V.I.C.P. - gather up again!

After city hall, we went back to school to have rehearsals again. It was time to practise our values, for Finland it ment race discrimination and democracy, I was one of the "dislikers/racists" in race discrimination along with Emmi and Kasii. Robin did the rap part, and Juho danced some amazing breakdance!

Democracy part went great too, and they really liked the song and the dance! Phew!
After hard practicing we ended the schoolday, and went to hang around with friends, you know, shopping, eating, talking, laughing, in general, having FUN! (thats what we are the BEST at!!)

With love,

Johanna :)
