Here’s a slight insight into very final preparations for Avatars of Nógrád International Voluntary Camp ;) The team is getting all fit (yes, you wouldn’t say by the video and everyone being attached to their laptops, but literally - we exercise and even run around the house in the mornings) and excited to welcome the participants! 2 DAYS LEFT.

Two weeks left until Common Vision, Different Action - media and communication training! Less than a month until Avatars of Nógrád International Voluntary Camp! The season of trainings hosted by Egyesek is almost on!

All these take place in Creative Space Training Center in Hollókő, a picturesque village about 15 km from our hometown Szécsény. So this is the place where we have lately spent all of our mornings and afternoons, giving our best to fully prepare the site for the busy season. And it’s not only us who have been involved in this thorough Spring Cleaning. Two weeks ago Egyesek also held an Activity Day, open for all the local youngsters - and there will be another one on upcoming Saturday!

As promised in the last post, we now wish to reveal the main secret of surviving when sharing a flat with almost 10 volunteers! Never leave your dirty dishes around the house? Wake up earlier to avoid a line behind the bathroom door? Try not using the washing machine at 2 am? Immediately offer chocolate to everyone you are about to have a disagreement? ... To tell you the truth, it’s way more simple than that. To survive sharing the flat together, simply leave it

& spend some quality time together outside the flat. Sunday’s walking trip to Robinson Lake or a picnic with locals at the beautiful park in Szécsény doesn’t only help us to survive living together, but also makes it enjoyable :)

Thoughts on wandering around

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list. Yes, here we make lists of where (everywhere!) we want to go, we plan, we discuss, we search - and, we go!

One of the advantages of doing EVS in Hungary is that we are kind of in the center of Europe here, you know. That’s why we try to use every possibility to leave our pretty, yet small Szécsény for some days and discover other places, too. Mostly we travel separatedly because - believe it or not - at times we also need a rest from each other ;) (As you probably know there’s 9 of us living together here! More details on how we are still alive will come soon). So some of us already visited Bratislava, Vienna, Krakow, Warsaw. And, of course, we often spend weekends in  Budapest – our common love, the place to go when we are hungry for big city life.

Waiting for girls getting ready to go out can be sometimes pretty demanding

We also give our best to discover Hungarian reality, so far visiting such towns as Balassagyarmat, Salgótarján and Eger.

Eger vs Salgótarján, betonváros

One of our inevitable rituals is Slovakia check-in, ‘cause from Balassagyarmat it takes only a few minutes to cross the border. Last weekend, however, we proved to be even braver than that and went further, spending a whole Sunday in a Slovakian town Lučenec.

“Let’s go Slovakia!” as our Andre would say

Sunday’s trip to Lučenec

One more thing worth to mention (not to say: worship!) is Couchsurfing – probably one of the best ways to travel, meet new people and truly experience local lifestyle while staying in another country. So by now almost all of us have profiles there :)

Next popular destinations among all of us are Prague and Zagreb. So be prepared for some pictures from those places soon ;)

This week Egyesek Infopoint team tried their hand at video production :) Yeah! 3 cameras + 8 high school students + 2 EVS volunteers and, of course Marietta, our coordinator = a lot of smiles and funny moments! 

After shooting session - a little bit of video editing - and it’s almost ready. Wait for it and you will get to know why you should come to Egyesek InfoPoint and what you can do there :)

HAPPY EASTERS, EVERYONE! =(:-)

Here's a quick overview of how we celebrated Easters in Rimoc tanoda. To point out one highlight? Maybe face-digging in a bowl of flour to find hidden chocolate eggs? ;) If the white flour mask was not enough, it was possible to ask for a nice face-painting instead. Besides an Easter bunny, by the end of the day there were at least one Easter lion, two Easter spidermans and bunch of Easter butterflies! ...and what would a party in Rimoc be without a proper Easter football match! :D

Today our favourite Hungarian teacher surprised us with those little cuties! Starting to like the Easter's spirit here :)
