Boy's gift

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Tymon. He was very happy and no matter what he smiled to everyone, even when things were not quite good.
One day his grandmother asked him:
-Tymon, why are you so cheerfull all the time?
-You see, I'm a Santa Clause's assistant.
-Ooo! That's interesting.
-Yes, and my job is to give people a smile, without reason.

How I met my husband?

My husband's name is Michael. I met him in 2006 when I applied for a job. He was my boss. I had worked as a tailor for 11 years and I wanted a bit of a change in my life. I found an interesting job in Motorcycles Company and I went for an interview. I had no work experience with computers but I had a motivation and I was interested in motorcycles. Michael hired me so I started my new job in Gdansk. I made new friends and my new job was exiting. My first feelings about Michael were very positive. He was about 36 so he could have been my friend from school and he didn't look like a boss. He wore jeans and T-shirts and was very friendly. He helped me a lot in the first months. I thought about him like a friend not a boss but I never suspected we would be together. First time he asked me to go out a year after I started work in his company. It wasn't surprising because we were close. Of course I thought it couldn't work but it works now. I felt relaxed with him and very happy. From very beginning he was my friend. I could tell him everything and he was always honest with me. We lived together for one year and than we decided to move out to Australia for a few years. We talked a lot about getting married but I knew I had to wait. Michael was married before so he didn't want to do this again soon. It didn't stop us creating a family. In December 2008 I gave birth to our son Tymon. Michael was ready to marry me in September 2009. He bought a ring and asked me to be his wife. We got married in November 2009 in Sydney. It was a small and simple ceremony. The weather was beautiful and we were very, very happy.My feelings now are stronger. I feel comfortable like a wife and as a partner. I could say, Michael and Tymon are all I need to be happy.

Holiday in Europe

Almost two years ago, before I came to Australia, my partner and me decided to see some countries in Eastern Europe. On 15 days we saw 15 diferent countries.
First we had to prepare our car because we knew it was be our bedroom too. We took some food with us, some information about countries we wanted to see and some money.
It was August so we expected the weather was nice. I can't remember but I think only one day it was raining and that was in Greece. I remember also, in Greece, we couldn't find any camping to stay over night so we slept in our car on beach. The sunset was amazing and we took many fotos.
However Greece was not the firt country we saw. First we crossed Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova. While driving we passed a lot of fields and orchads. At the side of the roads some farmers were selling fruits and vegetables. We stoped a few times and bought: peaches, watermelons, apples and sunfolwers.
In Romania we saw many highways being constructed. The roads were modern and in very good conditione. This was very impresive and unexpected. The next counry on our trip was Bulgaria where I swam in the Black Sea. We took the camping near the beach. There were many people on this camping. We continued our trip further south-to Turkey. In Turkey we had to find a mechanic because our car needed to check up. It was funny because everyone spoke only Turkish. We tried German, Rusian, English and finally we used our hands to explained what happened with the car.
While the mechanic took care of the car, we were drinking very delicious turkish tea in a very small cups. I've never before drunk this tasty tea.
After that we drove to Gallipoli to see monument of soliders who died in the First World War.
From Turkey we drove to Greece and stayed there one day.
It was the half of our trip, so we had to start returning to Poland.
We drove through Macedonia and got to Albania.We picked road along the mountin tops. I'v never ever saw so many Mercedes' as in Albania.
On the same day we reached Montenegro, where we were camping. As we travelled the main road along the coast, we were passing a lot of beaches, hotels and resorts. It was very crowdy, the beaches were full of tourists and the streets were full of cars. The views were incredible but we didn't like the crowds.
We took off early in the morning, we crossed Bosnia and Hercegovina and entered Croatia. Again we stayed over night at a camping but this time we had unreal views over the Adriatic. We spent afternoon on the beach with crystal-clear water. I wanted to see Plitvicka Jezera(Lakes) in central Croatia but we had not enough time for that. On the next day we crossed Slovenija and we reached Vienna. Before we left this famous city we found the Piatnik play cards factory and we bought a few sets as a souvenir.Driving across Slovakia we got to Poland on the same day.

It was a great adventure for both of us. I was learning in the school a lot about countries we have seen but to visit them was an absolutely different experience.

Royal Easter Show

The RAS is responsible for conducting The Sydney Royal Ester Show since 1822. The first Show was in 1823 at Walker's Inn in Parramtta. In 1997 The Show mowed to Sydney Olimpic Park.

The show is for all family. You can find lots of music, extreme action performances, sideshow, food, rides and much more...

Yesterday, on 31/03, our class AMEP-B, went with Gordana to see The Rocks. We met at the train station at Kogarah, bought tickets and caught a train to the city. First we saw Cadman's Cottage, the oldest house in Sydney. The couple who lived there were convicts for little crimes: man stole a horse and the woman stole some knives.After that we stopped in front of the Campbell's Stores. They used to be warehouses and now they are very expensive restaurants.

Next, we crossed the Harbour Bridge to see the first church called Garrison Church. It was Built in 1875 and it was soldiers' church. Near the church are old terrace houses.

Later we walked down Argyle Street and through the tunnel. We also saw Foundation Park and we could imagine how people lived.

In The Rocks you can see where the first bakery, first hospital, Police Station and the Bank were.

The Rocks is part of history.

People came here and worked very hard to make this country more comfortable for me and you and our children. We should remember that.

Our First Excursion

Last Monday was International Woman's Day and every woman from ST.George TAFE was invited on an excursion to Hawthorne Park. They Hired a bus so we all met at the Migrat Centre in Rockdale. We left at 10 a.m and arrived in the Park 15 min. later.

First we met an Aboriginal man. His name was Max. He showed us a smoke ceremony and welcomed us. He also told us how important that ceremony was for Aboriginal people. After that we had a short walk through the bush with Max.

Half an hour later we said goodbye to Max. On that day we met another interesting person. I don't remember his name so I'll call him Bushwalker.

He came with his friends-animal: a frog, a bat, a possum and a Tawny frogmouth. They all have names and live in Bushwalker's garden. It was a very exiting experience especialy when we touched them.

About lunch time we got back to Migrat Center and had some sandwiches and fruits. While we were eating, we were listening to a music and some of us were dancing.

For me it was my first excursion and I ejoyed it very much. I hope we'll have another one soon.

My first day in Australia

My name is Joanna. I arrived in Sydney on 5 september, 2008. I didn't sleep much on the plane. I wached movies and also talked with my partner, Michael.

We arrived in the morning. Nobody was waiting for us. We didn't know anybody in Australia.

First night we stayed at backpackers in King Cross. It was a very exiting experience, especially at night.

For me, a girl born in small city, everything looked big and amazing.

I felt like an " Alice in the Wonderland"
