While checking out somebody's blog a few days ago, I stumbled upon a post he/she had written about a great organization called "FREE RICE".
Maybe some of you already know about it. For the ones who don't, Free Rice was open on th 7th of October this year(2007).
They have developed a great and original way to help the people in poor country: Free English Vocabulary!
So, you just play a game of words and for every correct answer you donate 10 grains of rice. While you play, you see the bowl filling up. It's really cool!
I find it really original. Let me quote from their webpage:
"Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.".
To play, you aren't required to register or give any information. You just enter Free Rice and play!
HAVE FUN!!

I haven't posted anything lately, as you might have noticed. That is because I had a long trip to Romania, where I visited my family. I had a great time and I will post some photos in the following days.
Apart from that, classes started:(((( and well, they take up my precious free time..hehe.
Another great past-time in these last weeks was going to the Film Festival held in Mannheim and Heidelberg. We saw 5 films and my favorite was : Cover Boy !! It's an Italian-Romanian production about the romanians that go to Italy in hopes of a better life. The protagonist fulfilled his dream in a somehow unusual way. It's really worth watching !!
We also saw a lovely phantasy movie from Portugal and Mozambique, called Sleepwalking Land. I loved it !
Well, that's my short review on the past month:)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!
