School trip to Praha

Here is a video of my school trip to Praha.

Something I love ....

I already told you that I loved joking, that I love some kinds of music, that I love meeting people in places such as Taizé... but something I didn't say yet, is that I'm a big fan of Disney movies and especially "The Lion King". All the songs from this Disney movie are great and aren't really childish.

So here are some of the songs from this excellent film ...

Taizé

Hey everybody.

During theses holidays I went to Taizé, in France... There, thousands of young people meet all the time, especially during the summer holidays.
It was the fourteenth time that I was going there for one week. I used to come with my parents every year, now I go by my own.
The first day, when I arrived, they made a mistake : they put me in a girl bedrooms. So I was with 3 German girls and two French girls. I also met some french guys the first day.
Everyday, there was a prier at 8.30 am, then we had breakfast. After that, at 10 a.m, I worked till midday. With a little group we had to raise some big tents which are used in summer, when there are a lot of people.
After that, at 12.30, we had a prier again till 1 p.m. Then we had lunch. At 3.15, there was a biblic introduction followed by a sharing in small groups. But as I was "contact person" of my group, I had to be there at 2.45. At 5.00, we had some tea and then a large free time before getting dinner at 7.00 pm. After the meal, at 8.30, there was the evening prier. We had to "go to bed" at 11.00 p.m even if we never slept before 00.30 a.m.
In my group of sharing, there was 2 French girls and 4 Portuguese girls. We had quite a good talk even if the French girls weren't able to speak English, so I had to translate all the time for them...
Otherwise, I was mainly with a group of French people who live near Douai and Cambrai, in the North of France. I got on very well with them. Each time that I was crossing the group, they said " The Belgian one !!!" in a very dynamic way ( they were really shouting that ). Once, in the queue to get the meal they even carried me above all the people and they song a song for me. It was fantastic !!!
Oh, and something amazing now... I met a French girl who speaks English really very well, much better than I do. It was the first time that I had heard a French person who really could speak English without the huge accent French people have.
I hope that I'll keep in touch with that girl and I'm looking forward to seeing her again. She is very interesting and I wrote and spoke a lot with her. She's amazing. She's able to speak Russian, English, Spanish and French ( of course =p ). It was very funny to write her in English when she was just beside me.
Thursday we had a time of silence that we spent alone. That made me good. I think that we never take the time to focus on oneself in our daily life so it was a nice opportunity to do it.

Oh yeah, I remember something else. In the trip to go to Taizé, I spoke with a Lebanese boy who was very nice and on the way back I spoke with a Dutchman. We spoke in English. It would have been impossible to make this kind of talk in Dutch because my level isn't high enough. We spoke about all kind of things like economy, politic and so on...

I'm going to go back in Taizé next summer, maybe during a month. I will probably try to make one week in silence. I think it will be very hard because I love meeting people but that kind of experience can be very useful...

I certainly forgot some things to tell about this week but anyway, I'll add later if I need...

Adrien, The Belgian one =p

How not to be seen - Monty Python

Enjoy !

The killing joke !

From the Monty Python again.



The script exists only for an other version of this sketch.
Here are the lyrics of this other version :

A very nice song ...

As you already probably know, I like humour a lot. So I'm a big fan of the Monty Python which is a group of six English comedians.

I advice you to see their films such as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life"

Here is a famous song by the Monty Python called "Lumberjack Song"



If you look at the picture, nearby all the people have the same face. It's a feature of the Monty Python. The same 6 people are almost the only ones to play in their film.

My profile

Before writing anything else, I'd like to tell you a little about myself...

I was born in Chimay and I live in Bourlers, which is a small village 5 kilometres away from Chimay, in the south of Belgium. Even if I come from a musical family, I can't play any instrument. I'm in the last year of secondary school and I study maths and sciences. So I have 8 hours of maths and 8 hours of sciences a week. It will be very useful for me next year because I’m going to study engineering in Louvain-La-Neuve. I've always dreamt of studying there so I'm looking forward to being next year.
Outside the school I take part in several competitions. This year I'm going to do two maths competitions, two sciences competitions and one French competition. My proudest moment was when I was selected to represent the school for the French competition because I'm not an expert on that. The funny point is that I wrote the text I had to read shortly before setting it out. That's why my motto is " Never give up when time isn't up".
I like doing sport. So when I was a child, I went to a swimming club. Then I became member of a mountain bike club and soon after coming in secondary school I started to play in a football club.
Now I'm a leader of a child group called "Les scouts".
