On Saturday 19-00, we arrived so
late so we went to bed.
To Sunday morning,
we agreed to live Jan's house at 6:30. We walked in the city and afterwards we
went to church. Was beautiful, had such a spiritual atmosphere. We return to
his house with his mom and had lunch with his family. They sang beautifully. I
tried the most famous Czech beer: Pilsner Urquell. Liked slightly... Actually,
I liked Czech beer progressively. Every day I was liking more and more
it.
In the afternoon,
we rested while in the night we went to play billiard. Was cool.
On Monday, we went
in afternoon to the museum DOC that we could learn about Cuba, Capitalism and
consumerism in China. Super! In the night, we meet Cesar and Sophia PW and we
went to a pub all together. Was the first time that I meet Flávio.
On Tuesday, we did
a cultural lunch in the morning and after we went in the afternoon to the
Education Museum in Prague that described how the education evolved in Czech
Republic. We went successively to a cafe; to an American restaurant and then to
an exotic non-business driven pub in a mysterious place in Prague. We met
Flávio again and we had nice talks together. (Obs: this day we eat a lot
because we realize that we had 26 euros each and had to spend this money
somehow)
May and Dominik
left in the night of Tuesday to Wednesday
On Wednesday morning,
we went running. Beautiful place. Wisdom went to the bus station. In the
afternoon we rested. In the end of afternoon/beginning of night we meet Flávio
and went to this 'green pub'. I thought was a sustainable kind of pub, I swear
haha... Afterwards they told me that was a kind of pub people consume weed. I
was kind chocked. The pub was very amazing, regardless of this. Was kind punk
and had loud music. Was mysterious and filled with ''tattoo and piercing
humankind''. At this place, we had very interesting political conversations. Flávio
and I had quite different points of view towards the candidate Marina Silva,
for instance. We end up discussing about military schools and how the education
system (yey! Project aim was restored in the small details \o/) was. I said to
Flávio that at my military school time I was very much into graduation and
''showing off'' and that I was proud of those things... In addition, even before
UWC when I got scholarship in Farias Brito I was so proud of having good grades
and having my pictures being published in the newspapers...
But since I came
to UWC things had changed drastically. I got bad grades; however, I got education,
while before in my life everything was ''grade driven''. Now thanks to UWC I've
changed my mind to be ''educational driven''.
Was even worst the
situation I was in... Because if you are completely lost in the drugs, at least
you know about you condition of being helpless towards yourself and towards the
society. However, the worst kind of self-lost in the one that gives you an
impression of having a ‘’true ground’’. Imagine yourself having a perfect
education, perfect grades, being successful and having a great job. Then you
keep yourself in this ground of safety, but the only person that you concern is
about yourself. Since it protects your social reputation, it is fine. That is
the worst kind of looseness... The idea that we are good citizens... The
conformity with your own self-centered kind.
I still thought
that we should have school structures and that what triggers me now... How
would those structures work? Because is important to have a referential,
someone to look up to improve. Nevertheless, the question now is how to achieve
the frame in which we can walk seeking for education rather than grades, considering
that education is such a personalized process.
We had many other debates and conversations that I expect to write later.
:)
for now that is it
