Vinterferie

Vi har haft to dage 'vinterferie' i torsdags og i fredags, men vi har besluttet os for at tilbyde noget lektiehjælp til vores Nuiki-kursister, da der ikke er meget tid indtil eksamen for dem. Vi har dog også hygget os en del med dem. I torsdags var vi i klubben, hvor jeg lærte fem nye kortspil. Bl.a. verdens sværeste kortspil, som jeg slet ikke har fundet ud af endnu - men har sat mig som mål at lære det før jeg tager af sted. I fredags så vi filmen 'Freedom Writers' med madrasser på gulvet, varm te og småkager - hvad vil man mere? I går holdte vi klassefest, som var rigtig sjovt. Vores kursister gjorde meget ud af at lave lækker grønlandsk mad til os, så jeg næsten ikke kunne bevæge mig efter at have prøvet lidt af hvert. På menuen stod: rensdyr, moskusokse, rødfisk og en fugl  som jeg ikke kender navnet på. Og bagefter seks forskellige kager. Mit tyske bidrag: Apfel-Karotten-Salat og Apfelstrudel. Under middagen holdte vi 'Toast for Change' i Freedom-Writers stil, hvor vi hørte lidt om, hvad alle ønsker sig til fremtiden.

Bagefter var der underholdning, bl.a. guitar koncert, skrive ord med numsen, sige 'klassefest' med så mange marshmallows i munden som muligt (jeg landede på en skuffende sidste plads med kun tre), stoledans, og vores egen opfindelse: et spil, hvor man kun må have et bestemt antal af kropsdele på gulvet og skal holde det i 10 sekunder. Egentlig bestemt til vores engelsk undervisning i næste uge, men vi fik nogle flotte skulpturer på den måde. Et andet highlight: tre frivillige havde bind for øjnene og puttede deres finger imellem en fyrs biceps og underarm. Da vi fjernede bindet, trak en anden fyr sine bukser op. Dregene vaskede deres fingre mange gange :D Jeg fik også bind for øjnene og da jeg fik det fjernet, så jeg verdens mest skrammende uhyre direkte i øjne foran mig – en spejl.

 

 

 

 

 

Winter Holidays

Thursday and Friday there was no school because of ’winter holidays’, but we decided to offer some voluntary tutoring to our Nuiki-students, since they only have a few weeks left until their exam. But we also took the time to hang out and have a good time together. Thursday we went to the ‘klub’, where I learned five new card games. Amongst those the world’s hardest card game, which I can’t explain to you, because I completely didn’t get it – but it’s my goal to learn it before I leave. Friday night we watched ‘Freedom Writers’ with matrasses on the floor, warm tea and cookies – what a perfect night! Saturday night we held a little party at the school. Our students made a huge effort to cook the most delicious Greenlandic food, so I almost couldn’t move after having tried a little bit of everything. The menu: reindeer, muskox, rose fish and some bird that I don’t know the name of. And for dessert: six different cakes. My German contribution: Apfel-Karotten-Salat and Apfelstrudel. During the dinner we had a ‘Toast for Change’ in Freedom Writers style, where we heard about our students’ dreams for the future.

Afterwards, it was time for some entertainment, e.g. playing the guitar, writing words with the booty, saying ‘klassefest’ with as many marshmallows in the mouth as possible (I ended on a disappointing last place with only three), chair dance and our own creation: a game, where you have to have a certain number of body parts on the floor and hold it for 10 seconds. Originally the game was planned for classes this week, but we got some fun statues out of it. Another highlight: three blindfolded volunteers’ fingers where stuck between a guys’ biceps and lower arm. When we uncovered their eyes, another guy pulled up his pants. The boys washed their fingers many times :D. I also got blindfolded and stared straight into the eyes of the world’s scariest monster when being unfolded – a mirror – I only screamed a bit.
