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??? ;))Read more

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!Read more

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.

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.Read more
