Shopping Day! Today we spent the whole day in down town Lahti, walking around in shops and malls, visitiong the local marked, finding some small souvenirs and maybe gifts to bring home. It was a great day with a big warm sun. We had lunch at a pizza place where we could have as much pizza and icecream as we wanted!!!
Then some of us went to the movies and saw the new Harry Potter movie. We filled up a whole seat row :)
Back at the school things went back to usual. Soon its over so we try to enjoy it as much as we can.
Vi gikk alle 5 og så Harry Potter-filmen i dag. Den var spennende. Vi hadde en fin dag i byen. Det var godt å gå omkring i Lahti. Nå er det ikke mange dager igjen, og det er selvfölgelig nå når ting går mot slutten at alt faller på plass. Dagene er fyllt av aktivitet og ikke et minutt går til spille. Det er rart å tenke på at vi snart skal dra herfra. Vi kommer til å savne alle vennene våre så mye.
Men det er fortsatt noen dagen igjen.
Vi sees snart i Norge - håper dere alle har en god sommer!

then we went home for lunch.
The second activity was about problems in our countries. First we saw a small film about global warming and after that a short film about the using and the meaning of water, an international problem. then the kids had to think about the problems they have in their own country. each delegation had to write down what is good in their country and which problems do they have. then they had to talk with another delegation about what they had writen down. for example germany had to talk to brasil. Each delegation had to find a solution for the problem of the other delegation by acting. so for example the german delegation had to find a solution for the brasilian problem violence and poor people and so on. the kids had a lot of good ideas to try to solve the problems and the activitiy went pretty well. the snack was made by the israelian delegate the jc Romi.

JC DAY! !
JC:s SUPER DUPER DAY 13.7.
We started the day by wakeing everyone up, to a rainy morning, with the song "JC:s are the best" and Just dance.
It was kind of a messy morning because someone (MILLA) turned off her alarm clock instead of wakeing everyone else up! Thank god our boy JC:s are more responsible than Milla.. ;D
We had the upside-down schedule wich means that we started the day with flag down, inside because of the rain, and lullabies.
Activity 1: Pimp your JC. We devided the kids into 6 groups. Each group got a JC to whom they could do whatever, in "makeover" way, with. (Offcourse nothing permanent like cutting hair or shaveing eyebrows.., We´re kind but not that kind)
Activity 2: Mars. The kids where once more in groups, but this game was more about communication. The JC:s had invented their own really strange and funny language. The task was to by watching us "talking to eachother" figure out language out. Words we had signs for were ex. Gas,water,yes,no...ect.
It was really funny to see the kids try to figure it out. They were really good at it.
Activity 3: Talent show!! The kids, that wanted to, got to preforme with a show that they themselves prepared and decided everything about. The JC:s were jury, show host and "technical guy".
After the show we thanked everyone, audience also, with gummybears and scrapbooks.
Practicipants in the show:
Eivind break dancing
Björk&Solveig dancing to Wannabe
Pauli,Juca & Teng dancing to I like to moove it moove it.
Merle and Yrja had a amazing acrobatics show!! :)
As PRANK (praktical joke) for the JC boys, we announced that they´re dancing to the song Poker Face. They hadn´t prepared anything, but they did pretty well anyway!
etc...
Language in the Mars activity:
"Hejj Hejj"-Bye
JAAAAH- No
Brlblubrlbu-Yes
Everybody dance now- Angry
Romiii-Embaressed
Totally,Totally,UhUhUhUh-Go away
Comon-Confused
ect...
Songs we sang during Lullabies:
Eternal flame
I don´t wanna miss a thing
Hey Jude
Wonderwall
...?
We ended the day with a extra relaxing activity. First we had a massage circle, were everyone got a back massage from the person behind them, at the same time as they gave one for the persons infront of them. Vicky had some really nice meditation after the massage. We weren´t shore if it would work with the kids, but we were pleasantly suprised. They really liked it and some girls even thought we should do it more often.
It was a really great day, and everyone enjoyed the activities. We felt wery reliefed that the kids, leaders and staff liked our day!! :)

16.7.
Today, the US delegation was the delegation of the day again. We had a great day!! We started our day with Trust games - leading around our blindfolded partner, trust falls, and things like that. Then the planning group told us we'd swim for activity two so everyone changed into their swimsuits and grabbed their towels. They gathered us all around for a picture and when we were least expecting it, they ambushed us with buckets full of water!! It was definitely a surprise! We had a water balloon fight and played water games - it was our favorite activity so far!!!
After we all changed into dry clothes, we met in the gym to play Hot Air Balloon. Each delegation was told to choose fifteen things we would bring with us on a ten year trip. But then, our hot air balloon was too heavy and we had to start getting rid of things. We ended up with food, water, clothes, respect, and friendship - not a bad bunch!
We're all looking forward to shopping day very much and tomorrow there should be some great activities planned - we can't wait!!!
On our way to the "beach"
Before we were supposed to go to swim, we took a group photo.

The delegation of the day: Thailand
The whole Thailand delegation: Pitcher, Teng, Noy, Book and Shiny14.7.
Today is the responsibility of Thai delegations again. Guess what?? Today is Excursion day...WOW!!!
Every kids was very excited. We went to the beach near the camp site, actually it is the lake. Some kids were swimming in the lake and some were lying on the grass. It was a very nice sunny day. After that we walked to the harbour which was next to beach. We took a boat to see around the town and it took around 2 hours. Then, we went back to school and taking the shower.
Activity 3 started at 19.30 and we did the game called "Resources". The kids were splitted in to many groups and each group contained different number of kids. Some groups were big but some were small. Each group will be given the different resources which are; water, forest, food, stone, and gold. They had to decide in their group that what they had to do to survive in each round. There were many unexpected situation happen in each round. First, they have to had enough food or water for everybody in the group, and they had to build the house as well by using the resources that they had. Then, the disaster might come for example; earthquake, fire, or monsoon. So, everything that they use to have might be lost. This game theach them how to survive with the others and how to manage the resourses to be enough for everybody.
Finally, the flag time and lullaby was coming. We sang some songs before went to bed. Every kids enjoy their time very much and also exhausted from excursion. So, everybody went to bed nicely and saying goodnight to each other.

The delegation of the Day: Latvia
17.07.2009.
Delegation of the day - Latvia
This morning started with Latvian music as we had the right to pick the wake up songs. After the flagtime when our delegation had the duty to raise the CISV flag, we started activities.
In first activity we had the "I love my neighbour who has ..." game. It was real fun because we had to switch chairs and be careful when the person in the middle called on the characteristics we had. Then we had the card game also with chairs when we moved around the circle based on wheather the right sort of cards was called - clubs, diamonds, spades or hearts. But we had to stay in our chair if anyone was sitting in our lap. Sometimes the wait was pretty annoying, especially hearing the right sort of card when you were blocked in your seat. Sometimes the aces made the difference as we switched on the chairs if someone was in front. Next on the menu was "Chicken and monster race". That was a funny running game where monsters catched the chickens.
In second activity we had "Green and red card" game where there were eight groups which tried to get the maximum points by guessing the color which most of the other teams would not call. That was a kind of betting game with lots of arguments and agreements inside the groups. The key of success was strategy and cooperation.
In third activity we had values auction where eight teams were given an amount of money and they had to buy in an auction different things such as ipod, love, cars, friendship, nature, Britney Spears, McDonalds etc. After that we had a discussion about what and why we bought, which is the most important part of that activity.
In the evening we of course as always had the lullabies and our JC Raffy was great playing the guitar with four strings out of five as we sang the songs.
See you later!
