#kulturweitseminar
\n<\/strong>
\nIt is nearly half time of my stay here (2nd December is the half time mark) and we had our mid term seminar to talk about our projects and about how we do feel, whether there are problems or whatever. This is why our dear fellows from Kazakhstan, Tadzhikistan and Uzbekistan took the long journey to Mongolia \u263a <\/p>\n

To sum it up very quickly the seminar was clouded by several little challenging events such as that half of the participants got very sick at the end of the seminar and nobody knows why\u2026 Seemed to be a king of strange virus… The hostel seemed more than a sick bed at the en -_- Moreover there was too little time for reflexion and cultural exchange.
\nBut not to be negative all the time (as Malte tries to beat out of me!) we had an appointment at the German embassy to talk to the ambassador Mr Thiedemann and the cultural attach\u00e9 Christian Seiffert about our program, about the relations between Mongolia and Germany and about the current political things going on. This was a very nice event and even more surprised was I about the fact that Christian thought of me and brought me a flyer of the new climbing wall (actually a very tiny thing but better than nothing), which opened here recently. This is definitely on my Mongolian bucket list.
\nAnd of course the best day was Wednesday where we had our trop on the countryside to see the huge Dschinggis Khaan Statue and to go horse riding and visit a monastery in the middle of the mountains. Here some of the photos we took of this week!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
