The last day

Hello everyone!

So, this is the story of our last day. At morning we started with breakfast, and after that we packed our suitcases and went to voyage. The ship sailed at 11 o'clock, and we read in the forecast that the weather will be sunny, but it was too grey and foggy. Even so we could really enjoy it, we saw very big freighters and freights. Hard to see something like that in Hungary...

After the voyage we had free time till the start of the train. Niki and me went shopping, walked in the streets, we bought some souvenirs. We wanted to buy some magnets, but people couldn't help us where we can find a souvenir shop, so finally we bought some in a flower shop at the train station.

After this we want back to the hotel before time, but Zsófi and Reni was already there, because it started to rain, so they came back. Everyone was there early, so we could reach an earlier train. We were a little bit sweated, because the suitcases were heavy, but only Hajni's suitcase was more than 23 kg with only 1 kg, so she took something to the teacher's suitcase.

The flight back was eventless, but for me the darkness + shaking + flying together was a little bit scary, but we landed intact. Everyone hurried to get home and be with their family (and eat good foods:))

So, that was our last day, our long journey's end. Thanks for everyone who read the blog, we really enjoyed it, I hope you too :)!

Rotterdam

Hello!!

Today we went to Rotterdam and left Leeuwarden behind us. It was hard because we really loved the time what we spent in Leeuwarden we'll miss the city and the people. But as we told we'll come back once in the future :)

Well, Rotterdam is such a nice and pleasent huge city. First we went to see the Euromast. This is a 180 meter high tower and it built 1960's. You can find a restaurant on the top.

Than we made a sightseeing and saw the Erasmus bridge and the cube houses.

After the sightseeing we went to see a market where we found many dutch delicious food. We bougth some presents. Than we went to make an official closing party in an Italian restaurant.

Last but not least, I would like to say thank you for all!! I feel myself really lucky to could be here.

I really enjoyed all day and I'll miss Friesland so much. :)

Thank you!!!

The last day in Leeuwarden

The last workday

Hello!

The time is flying so fast in Leeuwarden, we are going to leave the town on saturday. Everybody is so sad because of it.
Today was my last workday in Abbingaheim. I started the work at 15:45, but I didn't have to work till 22.30, because they let me come home earlier to make the presentation for tomorrow. I got my assessment from Sanne and Johan about the time I spent there and after that we made our routine with Sanne as every day.

There are some differences between the work at home and here. Here is some of them:

At first, in medication. The nurses got the patients medicines wrapped into clear plastic bag, and on the plastic bag they can read the patient's datas. When they split the medicines, they check on the computer the patients' datas and they write on computer after give the medicines to someone.

Every patient has a ringer, so they can push it if they need help.

After lay down we take sensor next to every bed and it send a sign to us if something bad happens with one of them.

The doors only van be opened by keys. Every nurses and student have these keys.

All the patient get excellent treatment and care by the nurses. :)

Lunch at Florastate

Hoi!

This is our last week in Leeuwarden, and my feelings are ambivalent of this i want to go home but i really love this town and also the country. The people are very kindly in our workplacement, and i think they are also funny. But it's not a problem, i think we can't live without homor in this world.
Today we cooked with the dutch students at Florastate. At 10 'o clock we go to the shop and buy some raw materials for the lunch. It was funny beacuse we would like to make coconut balls and we didn't find ground biscuits in the shop and we need to break the whole biscuits by hand!

We made stacked potato. It's a hungarian traditional food.

It contain potato,onion,hard boiled egg,sausage,sour creme and cheese. It's very easy and tasty!

The dessert was coconut ball. It's also easy.

It contain cocoa,coconut,a cup of coffee,rum aroma and ground biscuits.

Enjoy your meal! :)

I fell in love with Leeuwarden!

Honestly, I started to freak out about the fact that the date of our departure is coming closer every day. The thing is I truly fell in love with this place! I love the hostel, we live in it (against the dirt that's facing us in the bathrooms :P ), I love the people who are living with us. They are all from different countrys, with different backgrounds and habits,but they can make every occasion unforgettable when they come together in the kitchen and they cook, and play guitar and sing real fantastic songs. Everyone is friendly and open minded here and I like the way they live. :)
Furthermore I really love the day-care, my workplacement is a very lovely place. The children can feel safe and comfortable there. That is crucial for their development. I'm gonna miss a lot my tiny blond friends! Today, when the kids arrived at the day-care, a little girl run to me shouting my name and hugged me. It was a priceless feeling! *.* Then another little blond princess came to me, she wanted me to pick her up, and she told me a lot of things (about her daily news I guess). She was prettling in dutch while I was walking with her, indeed I felt at home in this situation.
Our group leader, Hilde is an amazing woman, I'm very glad I got to know her. At our first meeting I recognized a few similiar features of both of us (like our hair is curly, she likes Lenny Kravitz, and doing yoga), later I saw how exemplary she handles with children and how much humanity is in her every moves. I met another dutch girl, who was doing internship there too and I was surprised how deep conversation we had. She told me a lot of things about herself and her life and I found it wondrous that against all the bad things what happened to her, what a shiney personality
she has!
I feel very lucky, that I had the opportunity to get to know these people! According to me these are the most important things, what our journey gave to me whereas I expanded a lot in practical work too. I think I developed a lot in getting on well with children and in communication thanks to the internship. And the experiences I collected, the people I talked to, the places I've seen, they are treasures, which I won't change for anything!
I feel thankful that I had the possibility to be here in the beautiful Leeuwarden in this sunny november! :)

First/last monday

Hey everyone!
Today was the first (and the last) monday at the work place. There was 8 kids today, but 2 of them was new for me. The girl just comes at mondays, and the boy wasn't at the daycare in the last 2 weeks when I was. The morning shift was very good and very noisy, too. They started the day with playing, and after that we went to the garden. There we played tig, and it was so much fun for them, but a little bit hard for me, because they always run in different ways.

We went back to the room and they ate their fruits. After that the half of the group played, while the other half coloured some do-it-yourself boots, because they couldn't do it last week. Today was a good experience, because I changed some diapers, and of course I'm still nervous, but I feel me better and better after every new diaper. At the end of the morning they played a little, sat in a circle, sang some songs, listened tales, and finally they could go home!

At the afternoon 7 kids came, and they were on full with energy! They run between the room and the garden, they couldn't choose which place is better. Some of them colored boots, but they get bored soon.
It's still Sinterklaas time, so they dressed up again like Sinterklaas and Black Pete, danced to music or gave some presents to everybody. 

The parents came to them in the early hours, so the last one was a little boy. I made fun with him, because I imitated his every movement. It was very funny for him, but I had to jump and move a loooot, so I'm sure that tomorrow I'll feel stiff!:)

At the end, let me share a fantastic music, because that was the favourite today!:)

Lazzy Sunday

Hello!

Today was also a rest day. We  woke up around 11am and than went to the nearest Jumbo.
Yesterday was as I think our best day. Memorable and really eventful. We really really enjoyed it.
But during the evening happened something really shokking. We found a small brown MOUSE in our ROOM. We wanted to caught it but we were too slowely...i hope it found another better room than our room. By the way the little visitor was not a big surprise if we see the kitchen..big mess and lots of rubbish on the floor..

On the other hand, Niki was quiet better today and my tooth also better, slovely the pain will fly away.In the afternoon I was able to ran. Today was really nice weather and the temperature was pleasent :)

Tomorrow Ricsi, Reni and Me, we will visit the intensive care unit in MCL. We are really looking forward this event.

Last but not least, I don't want to leave Holland!! I really love it! I'm sure I'll come back once.. :)))

Wonderland or Ameland

Hoi!

Today we visited Ameland, it was really beautiful. We went by bus and ferry to the island. The weather was a little bit foggy and rainy, but it weren't problem for us. The ferry was bigger and nicer than home i really liked it, during the journey we got a hot chocolate and a muffin from Baukje and Maria.

When we arrived to the island first we rent a bike. Secondly we go to the beach by bicycles and we were really happy therefore.

The beach was very beautiful it was the second time in my life that i saw the sea. I reaaly loved it!
We walked alone the beach, looking for seals and made some funny pictures.

We cycled a lot trough the village, the wiew was wonderful everything was green and the air was really fresh.

We had lunch in a restaurant and everybody ordered what they wanted. I ate mustard soup and cheese with salmon and salad it was very tasty.

After than we were full of food just cycling and cycling and cycling.

Than we go back to Leuuwarden. I think it was a very good trip!

One day in daycare

This morning I had to get up early because I had to be in the daycare at 08:30.  The daycare is in Akkrum that is a Village close to Leeuwarden. The daycare is a nice building. Inside there are two parts one of the After school, the other part is the daycare. The daycare group name is Flinterfertier which means  butterfly. :) The rooms are friendly, safe and colorful. There are a lot of different toys for the children which help for their develop.

 The nursery nurse Who works in a forenoon are Sjoerdje and Hilde. Only seven children were in the daycare so it was a calm day. After the breakfast we took a walk in Akkrum. :) Everything is beautiful and peaceful. I made a lot of pictures. :)

We went back to the daycare for the lunch. Rest of the afternoon I played with the children.

Time is flying here!

Today we spent a beautiful day in Friesland again. :) We have huge luck with the weather, against the prognosises the sun was shining almost every day since we got here.
I feel like I was doing the internship better day after day. The children got used to it by now that I'm with them and we found out how we can understand each other, so we can play enjoyful games.
Today we had only one little girl in the daycare. This happens sometimes when the other children have got other activities for the afternoon, for example: their parents take them to training. This little blonde girl is called Lysanne and she is four years old. She is very adroit and she can say back a few sentences in english, what she heard from me before. We played tig in the garden for one hour, she made me quiet exhausted. After that we joined the little group for the afternoon crackers. This is one of my favourite parts of the day. We all sit down to the table, then they sing a lovely song, which I found very cute, especially Niki's production, who developed the choreography absolutely perfect. :D Then I ask every children one by one what they want to eat and drink, then it's my task to grease their crackers. I like it, that I have a real task and that I can increase the interaction with every single child. And I like watching it how the tiny tots sup their snacks. They are soo sweeeeet :)
Afterward the game continuued, but now together with the smaller ones, with Niki's group. The kids dressed up Sinterklaas and Zwarter Piets costumes, whatsmore they dressed up us too... :D You can imagine how pretty we looked in those tiny costumes! :D
Soon the parents arrived and took home their little treasures. So we had time to make ordner and clean up everything.

This is all I wanted to tell you today. Have nice evening! :)

First day after Sinterklaas

Hey everyone!

That was my first day after Sinterklaas. The room was full of Sinterklaas and Black Pete decoration. On the wall is a Pakjesboot from paper what Demi and me did last Thursday.

At morning there was only 4 child, but they were so loud!:) We played, and went outside, but the weather was cold, so we came back and made Black Petes from paper. After the eating I could change the first diaper in my life! It was lot of fun. I was a little bit looser, but I hope someday it will be better! We played again and Théa read them a story about Sinterklaas and after that we could all go home.

I went back at 14.00 and there were so much kids, it was full, 10 kids! They were so noisy, they sat at the same table and talked in the same time, so yeah..noisy:) I played with them a little, but then Théa asked me to paint the window. I was a little bit scared at the first time, but I just had to paint some houses, so it was okay. And the children liked it so much, they were amazed, so I enjoyed every moment of it! At the end of the day I watched a film with the last littlet kid, so I guess we had a good day! :)

The children are so excited because of Sinterklaas, so let me share one of their favourite music at this time, because they can sing it and dance to it for hours!
