Anastasiia Bulavka - intern

Welcome in the second week of September! It finally looks like autumn, temperature is low, sometimes rainy and makes me miss summer already. But anyway I don't have much time for sad thoughts and fall's depression, because ZNI has started new project - R.E.S.E.T. High-school pupils from Rome,Italy are here in Maribor to spend their 12 days internship, organizing various sport events. Besides much fun, as it may seem, of course there is a lot of organizing behind the organizing :) Sounds complicated, I know, I always had problems with tautology while writing articles. 
So yesterday ZNI's coordinators and my co-workers Goran and Jerneja met new fresh blood :) and from today on we have intensive programme for them, including some trainings, introduction with presentations, some entertainment such as city tour etc. 
What comes to my travel check-list, I have managed to visit two more bright spots of Slovenia - Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. First are huuuge and impressive karst caves, which are the most visited caves in Europe. There is even a railway inside! I have cought a cold there, because the temperature underground was like 10 degrees Celcium only and my sweater didn't seem warm enough, but I realised that only after I got out of the cave - I basically couldn't pay attention to anything else but the creepy beauty of the nature! The second place was the castle nearby caves called Predjama, which in direct translation is ''in front of cave'' - it is located in real cave and if you go inside - it's way more bigger than you can ever imagine! Fans of Jackie Chan's movies (as I actually am) will enjoy this place even more - one of his early movies ''Armour of God'' was filmed there! So I followed the steps of this great actor and imagined myself as a movie hero :) 
I am leaving now back to my other duties and have to say goodbye till the next week! Have a great autumn, everyone!
