We were debating whether to write a blog for this week, as we were unsure that enough things happened to justify this. Finally, we reached the conclusion that, every week, so many things happen, we just do not notice them any more. So this week, in this blog, we will turn our eyes to the usual and not so usual events of the week.
First off, there is of course an elephant in the room, or rather: "A cat in the bag". This thursday marked JACis' celebration of the Valentines day. Katja and Vija prepared the tradtional game for this day.

Ten years in a row, the participants, volunteers and internationals were out to find their perfect valentines date. The game proceeded as followed: We were divided by gender, and then we had to answer/comment of different romantic questions. The results ranged from "surprising" to "hilarious". (Q:How do you get girls to notice you? A: Buy them expensive things!;Q:What would you do with 500€? A:Spend it all on sweets). The girls chose the perfect answeer from the variants offered by the boys. They shared love stories from chieldhood and worked a lot for preparing love message, love card for the boys - a lot of inspiration.
In the end, Moritz and Clemence were chosen the perfect pairing and won one of the prizes they had asked from businesses around town the previous days. It was, all in all, a very fun day, and at the end, there was cake to round everything off.
Currently, Georgiana is working on a big project: We can not spoil to much at this point, but the event is aimed at all of Rezekne and will involve a big number of international people. The project aims to encourage the dialog between people, to break the stereotypes and to promotte tolerance among people from different cultures. We had first meetings this week, and soon you will learn what its all about.
Friday, on the weekly JACis movie event, we watched the incredibly quaint French movie "Le petit Nicolas". It was the first film not dubbed in English (but we had, of course, subtitles) and we learned many things particular the France, like pecking each other on the cheek for greeting (faire la bise). The film focuses on the titular character ("Little Nick") and his friends and family. Being based on the great books by Rene Goscinny, it draws from great material and combines many of the short stories into one coherent plot. It is definitely a great watch!
