Since i had never heard about Srem earlier i looked it up on google and found the website of the town (www.srem.pl). It was pretty useful as it also had some information in English. On the website it said, Śrem is the town "for me, for you, for everyone...", reading it me really comfortable visiting the town and i was looking forward to it.
The high school that we are teaching at is called "Zespół Szkól Ogólnokształcacych". I am being hosted by one of the girls from the high school, Gosia. Her family is really nice.
I was a bit nervous before the first day of class, not sure what the school would be like and also what students would be like. The first thing we did on Monday was meet the "Starost" of Srem, Tadeusz Waczyński, who is the head of the administrative council of the town along with 3 other neighbouring towns. It was nice to meet him and learn more about the town of Srem and his history, he was also interested in the countries that we came from and also wanted to know what we thought about Poland.
The students at the school are a mix, some are shy but some are also friendly.They responded well to my presentation about United Arab Emirates and have a lot of questions.
Angelica,Rii and i were interviewed by the local television channel. The feature should be online in a few days, will post the link to it.
The school arranged for us a visit to the Kornik Castle. The castle dates back to the 15th century and is currently a museum.
Tomorrow will be my last day teaching in śrem, will post more over the weekend.
Here are some of the pictures from the first few days.
