Not even borders can prevent us from meeting!!!


Saturday

We had a good night sleep! We slept for as much as we wanted... Hour passed until all awoke. Then we found that it's raining outside. And we had in mind Bob Marly sang by Katerina 'the sun is shining and the weather is fine...'

We thought about adding a small dictionary the will explain in simple language our way of speech.

“You know“:
Is a Fraze that must be added in the beginning of a sentence, or at the end, or just in the middle... You got the idea...

“I'm so sure!“:
I believe it could be... Maybe.... Let's talk about it...

HABIBI FALAFEL“:
§!“$=(!%;:_*

Believe me“ follows by an emotional expression like I love him:
I'm just kidding

“It's going to be snowing tomorrow
German didn't understand a singe thing of the Arabic language that was spoken around

“One Two Seven!“
One Two Three

So!

We also had a meeting in which we had brought some disagreements into a solution. At list for some time. We had talk about the way we present the situation in the middle east to a class, or in the future to other people, while we satisfy each others opinions.

Now...

Afterwords at the after noon we had a guest from Syria!! Amira's friend.
That was an exiting meeting because I couldn't have met him in Israel and neither can Amira, and the same goes for him. So we couldn't have met each other in our own countries.

This was happening while the others where doing some acrobatics. And afterwords in the evening at 6 o'clock the conference began with a dinner. The dinner was followed by a lecture by Mr. Valentin Vollmer from IDEM. He was speaking about the stage where humanity is standing in it's progress, and compared it with the different stages of individual growth (e.x. childhood, youth etc.).

As individuals grow, they at first shaped by outer influences (religion, social status, etc.). One can pomper this state with the state of childhood. At our time those outer influences are shading off, and humanity is at it's youth.

We always meet those outer influences throught other human beings. And they are gone away all that stairs is our own individuality, our own I.

He also spoke about the way we think of ideas. He mentioned how one can think of ideas as thoughts that are coming from the future. For example when the organisers of this conference thought of it for the first time it was two and a half years ago. So from this example we can see that the idea existed already in the future, or wanted be born in reality. He offered us o think of ideas in this way.

As you can see we where very impressed from the lecture and wrote about it in great details!!!

A friday in Botrop

I never thought that I will ever visit Botrop, but the reason to come to this town was good. Alia and her mother Hannan, her father...and her sisters Farah,...,...,...and her brothers:....and Jamil and Farah´s husband....are living there.
Alia´s parents where born in Lebanon and raised there and immigrated to Gremany 21 years ago. After the family Hamad visited us in my mothers home allready we where now hosted from them like kings. We had a big delicious palestinian meal and our guys where eating a lot as they where so happy to get arabic food like at home again.
We had a lot of conversations under each other and exchanged about, life in Germany Palestine, Israel and Lebanon.
So wonderful to be reseved by you my friends! Thank you so much!
