    Meeting back after winter break: Living in a very small flat with my host mum and her daughter Frieda.

In the evening the whole city was dancing arround the Christmas tree to say good bye to winter. the show in enköping was sold out (700 people) and during the swedish madley performing Waterloo the audience ticked out.

    On our travel day to Göteborg we visited the factory of Wolvo. On promoday in Göteborg, I did promotion for our show speaking through a microphone in a huge mall. I was hosted with three boys and McKell was blind for a whole day. Thanks to you, McKell for trying to understand me. Anyways, my host family spoke German, for they had lived in Switzerland for 4 years. Czytaj więcej

    Having had a very stormy crossing with the ferry, we arrived in Germany! That was so cool to be able to speak German with my host family. We were sold out in all shows and the audience was getting crazy when we performed the German madley. And I did the councelour part in the show. Czytaj więcej

    Our host code was a song. The band was playing all songs, and you and your family had to come on stage, when it was yours. That's how we found each other. During presentation of blac culture, I found out that Valerie seams to be black... Or is she maybe not and it's all a big conspiracy??? ;)) Czytaj więcej

    On our way to Emden I drove with Ryan in the truck, which was quite exciting. On CS-Day a group of us hd to pick up trash with students from a local school. We picked up a lot of strange blue apes. Later we met Esther, which was supposed to do a paper chase with kindergarden kids for CI, but they had to give up, for someone had picked up all the blue apes, which should show the way... :-) During MIA I got two days off and spend one night in Borkum.

    I started working as a highroler (meaning that I had to do presentations about uwp for interested people and do interviews to select the members for the future). We were hosted in a café, which was run by a family of 19 members, who all lived together. That was an amazing atmosphere at that place. Czytaj więcej

    My parents hosted me and three of my friends at my place. That was so great, being hosted at home and a little bit confusing, too, when suddenly my world of UWP and my world of my former life got mixed. All my friends came to see the show and it was just great, performing for them. Czytaj więcej

    I was hosted by an old man who was a member of the seven adventists, who believe that you go to hell, if you eat meat, because destroying your body is destroying your soul. He had rent a flat which was used as a brothel before. And somehow he had never chanced the room since then. So Laura and me had to sleep in a room, where all walls were covered with mirrors. that was a very whered experiance... On Cast Activity Day we all got bikes. they even had organized a tandem for me. We rode to a lake where we could take a bath. What a beautiful day! Czytaj więcej

As today it was fire, we talked about our passions in life. then everybody wrote a bad quality of himself on a piece of paper and in the evening there was a camp fire where all these pieces of paper got burned.

    On our way to Arnhem we stopped in Amstadam. We visited the Anne-Frank-house, which was very impressiv and sad, too. In Arnhem we did some shows on libaration day. But I felt a little weird celebrating libaration from the Germany being German, although I wasnt even born when the Germans did all these horrible things during second world war. Czytaj więcej

  • Mechelen

    As it was our cast managers goal, to use as many means of transport as possible, we walked to our next city Mechelen, which was 13 kilometers. In Mechelen my 17-years old host sister is going to travel wih UWP in her future, too. My host parents had a very cool house, because they were both architects and you had dinner on knee chairs. I did community involbvement in a home for mentally disabled people. That was very frustrating, knowing, that once you got into that home, you probably stayed in this cold place for the rest of your life. thank god, that I won't have to stay in this place.. during the show I was in "one to one" and my parents' friends came to see the show.
