27th of July: Let's play the trash instruments and Freiberg by night!

 The morning starts with a lot of motion and exercise! The jugglers and fire performers from Bulgaria, Belarus, Serbia, Spain and Hungary have arrived and they have decided to do the warm-up activities of the TRASH RASH project. Some stretching, some yoga combined with pilates are the main part of this training which is done by the Argentinian juggler and fire performer Carlos who lives in Mallorca, Spain.

The participants get excited with the power and the spirit of the jugglers' training and they are ready to start the workshops and rehearsals. The worskshops are going very well and the participants have decorated their instruments very nicely. The workshops leaders show some techniques about how to play these musical instruments and the participants are divided in small groups and play the instruments they have chosen.

Everything goes really well apart from the food, which is quite disappointing but we try to find alternative ways to compensate the people such as the excursion in Freiberg at night!!

 Freiberg by night is a cultural night where the participants have the opportunity to see the city of Freiberg, some of its most important momunents, museums and sights as well as its nightlife. Freiberg is a very beautiful and picturesque city with an interesting architecture and a lot of tunnels. In the past there used to be a lot of mines full of silver and therefore the city is quite rich and wealthy. However, now the mines are empty and some of them are used as museums. We wander around the streets and cobbled alleys and feel the great atmosphere of the city even if there are no people outside..

The Turkish participants are delighted to notice that there are quite a lot of döner kebab restaurants and we decide to make them a surprise and offer them a nice dinner with their national food. However, in order to satisfy all the participants we also decided to go to a pizzeria which is closer to the taste of the Italian and Greek people. Unfortunately the Bulgarian participants are very tired and could not join us.

After dinner a shisha bar and some relaxation is all what we need. Lying on the comfortable pillows on the floor, smoking some shisha and drinking tea or alcoholic drinks is a great way to have a rest, chat and enjoy this beautiful night. Everybody seems to be happy and quite satisfied with this city tour by night but it is time to go back to the project area as the workcamp volunteers are having a Spanish night and we should not miss it!
