St. Zdislava

While wandering in the Nové město we visited a center for handicapped people St. Zdislava. People who regularly visit this center can't go to church because for their disability. Therefore, at least sing religious songs in the lounge. For us It was a good experience.

We could make a little present here.

The last day

Now it‘s the last day of our trip and I have to say that the last 10 days have been awesome.
We have had a lot of unforgettable moments and memories and it has been the best time of my life.
We have done a lot of things together everyday like for example bowling, been in Brno and a lot of other places.
    Today we will make a presentation at school for Czech students about the Wirkko-magazine and after that we will go to restaurant with our host students and have an evening together maybe like every other day before this. I think we all are going to have a wonderful last day in the Czech republic.
    Tomorrow we will go to Prague by train at 5 o‘clock in the morning and after that we will go to Finland by airplane. I think it will be hard for us to leave the Czech republic behind us after all these great days.


Nyt on matkamme viimeinen päivä ja täytyy sanoa että viimeiset 10 ovat olleet mahtavia.
Olemme kokeneet paljon unohtamattomia hetkiä ja viimeiset 10 päivää ovat olleet elämäni parhaat.
Olemme tehneet yhdessä paljon asioita, kuten keilanneet, olleet Brnossa ja monissa muissa paikoissa.
    Tänään esittämme Tsekilläisille oppilaille esitelmän Wirkko lehdestä ja sen jälkeen menemme syömään isäntäperheiden kanssa. ja vietämme yhdessä mukavan illan kuten monina muinkain iltoina aiemmin.
Uskon, että meillä tulee olemaan mahtava viimeinen ilta Tsekissä.
     Huomenna menemme junalla Prahaan klo 5 aamulla ja sen jälkeen menemme lentokoneella Suomeen. Lähtö takaisin Suomeen saattaa olla vaikeaa näiden kaikkien hyvien päivien jälkeen.

Concert in the Basilica Minor of the Assumption of Virgin Mary

Concert in the Basilica Minor of the Assumption of Virgin Mary 

On Saturday evening after our trip to Brno we went to the monastery in Žďár nad Sázavou. Shopping and walking in Brno was exhausting  so we ordered some pizzas. It was a tiny picnic in the park near the church. The Monastery night took place there, so it was a great opportunity for us to find out some information about the church of St. John Nepomuk. Everybody got questionnaires and interviewed people in the street. At 8 o'clock the concert already started and we all took our seats. Our priest P. Vladimír Záleský welcomed all the people who were in the concert and especially our Finnish guests. Philharmonic Orchestra of Gustav Mahler performed there with the Svatopluk choir and the church was full of people. Even though we listened to other kinds of music, we enjoyed the concert.

Koncert v bazilice Minor Nanebevzetí Panny Marie

V sobotu večer po příjezdu z Brna jsme vyrazili do kláštera ve Žďáře nad Sázavou. Nakupování a chození po Brně bylo velmi namáhavé a tak jsme si objednali pizzy. Byl to takový malý piknik v parku poblíž kostela. Ten den probíhala Klášterní noc v zámku, což byla skvělá příležitost k tomu, abychom zjistili více o kostele svatého Jana Nepomuckého. Všichni dostali dotazníky a ptali se lidí na ulici. V 8 hodin jsme již všichni seděli na svých místech a koncert mohl začít. P. Vladimír Záleský přivítal všechny účastníky koncertu, zvláště pak naše hosty z Finska. Filharmonie Gustava Mahlera vystoupila se sborem Svatopluk v kostele plném lidí. I když posloucháme jiný typ muziky, koncert se nám líbil.

My thoughts



From Daniel´s house.

The sun of the last day is finally shining, and it´s time to do my last text for Wirkko magazine. It´s fun to watch what this group is doing with their computers, half of this class is working hard with their texts and photos and another half is.. well... not working that hard. We are listening to some Czech songs and talking about our days here. We have had loads of unforgettable moments and I think everyone is feeling a little bit sad about tomorrow... For me, farewells are going to be pain. Daniel´s family has been a wonderful host family to me, and they´ve shown me plenty of Czech manners and traditions. One highlight of this trip was the day at Daniel´s cottage, I met some friendly and funny villagers and also Daniels sister there. We had a campfire and we grilled some sausages, talked about sports, music and our countries. All the evenings that our group has spent together have also been great, and these mates (especially Filip!) always know how to make us laugh! I wish we had a few more days...

Art exhibition

On the road to the church of St. John Nepomuk on the Green Hill there is installed students art exhibiton now. This exhibition named "We and Santini" is a kind of "art in the street". Pictures are situated between trees and people going to the Green Hill are watchintg these pictures during their way to the church of St. John Nepomuk. When we were getting around the place with Finnish students we followed and admired the pictures.

Our trip to Pernštejn

Our trip to Pernštejn

After our work at school we got a present from one of our sponsors - the  trip to one of the most famous and beautiful castles in the Czech Republic Pernštejn castle. It was rainy Wednesday afternoon, but it couldn't stop us to go there. Students and teachers visited the castle from the Middle Ages and after a guided tour we visited the town of Bystřice nad Pernštejnem which is near the castle. Everybody enjoyed quite a cold day full of history.

Náš výlet na Pernštejn

Po práci na našem projektu jsme dostali jako dárek od sponzora výlet na jeden z nejznámějších a nejkrásnějších českých hradů v České republice. Byla deštivá středa odpoledne, ale počasí nás nemohlo odradit. Studenti a učitelé navštívili  středověký hrad a poté Bystřici nad Pernštejnem, město blízko hradu. Všichni si užili chladný den plný historie.
