After this lecture we had lunch and then went to a place called Big Foot which is a completely accurate aspect of Goa's past as possible! They had built up an Goan mini village showing Goas culture and heritage and a lot of other things!

After this we went back to the hotel and had reflection time with our class. We talked about the trip and what has been good and what hasn't been so good. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we all are very happy and lucky to be here! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Yoga course
The course is a mixture of both theory and practice.
Day 10

So today we've been on TV! We haven't seen the newpaper yet, but I'll bet its great!
After this great start we had a lecture in Goan culture and we learnt about the Art in Goa.
It was interesting. After this we went to a beach to just swim and relax. it was great fun!
The beaches here are really amazing! I can undertand why Goa get a lot of tourists!

After this visit we went back to the collage for lunch and then we took the bus to see two temples.
The first one was Shree Shantadurga The original temple was destroyed by the portuguise in 1564 but was later rebuilt. The temple is located at Panaji at the foothill of Kavalem.
The other students showed us around and told us about the temple.
The second temple is called Mahalasa. It is the most important temple in Goa.
The students showed us around here too and told us about the gods and such. Really interesting!
We weren't allowed to take photos inside the temples but we have a few from outside.



We saw monkeys!
After this we went back to the hotel!

Started the day with Yoga as usuall at 6 in the morning.
After the yoga we had a Lucia procession and a presentation about Sweden infront o the school.
Some of us were very nervous, but it all went well. They really enojyed it! We sang a few different songs eg. Nu tandas tusen juleljus, Goder Afton, Rudolf med roda mulen and a few others.
Ebba held a power point presentation about Sweden. She was awesome! Good job standing there by your own!

Most beautiful Lucia ever?

After this event we had lunch and then went to a HIV clinic called ASRO. ASRO supports persons suffering from HIV/AIDS. They provide treatment, nutrition and relaxation for the persons sufering from HIV/AIDS.
It was fun but we all were a bit touched by the children there. It clinic seemed like a good one. The children there was playing football and cricet. Badal and Emelie joined them!

Hello!
Today we were on a visit to a temple and it was fine. After that we went to a spice farm and walked around and looked at different spice plants. We also saw a few elephants. Some of us bought some spices! There were even treated to a buffet lunch which was good. Now we are on site and have just been training at the Lucia songs we will sing tomorrow before the whole school. It will be fun, but nervously.
Soon we'll get up and eat dinner. The food is very good at the hotel which is good.

Day 6
Today is Saturday and we had a lazy day on the beach. It was great to be able to sleep and releax. We've had a tough week, so it was nice to just have some fun.


Day 5

This is our yoga teacher. Here he is talking about the herb we are about to plant.

After the planting we had a lecture in Goan culture. Its was very interesting becouse we get a good background about how the Goan culture has changed during generations and why Goa is the way it is today.
After lunch we went to another beach. The water was warm and great. We had a great lunch as well.

In the evening we went on a short boat trip. It was great fun.
