Heléne Ericsson, Carlshöjdsskolan

project meeting in Holly’s Art room (on the agenda is to order this evening’s dinner


There seemed to be a skeletal theme, they were all over the place


Suddenly there was a fire drill – very organized!


The school recycling station!


The Welsh version of Friends


Cosy staff room…


Skolsysters rum


Another amazing Art room


The classic coffee wagon. Filling in the diplomas that all participants were given.


Diplomas to all given out by the school principal (the gent in black


Formal reception at the city mayor


He had a sore throat so the secretary read his speech


Holly got a chance to be a mayor too =). All teachers had gold medals and all students got a pencil pocket.


Break in the afternoon sun after being at the Cardiff museum.


Tour around the park outside the museum to admire their Stonehenge wannabe-circle


Robert took me, Lotta and Marian on a detour to the magnificent coast.


Dinner at the hotel, they have all gotten their mittens and we will make a check on that in February.


Home economics where the students prepared Welsh snacks for the teachers.


Lucy (IT teacher at the Welsh school) is explaining how Facebook works – mostly for the teachers =)


I want her necklace!!


Main entrance to the school


Visit to Wales national park, 1,5 hours in a bus, 30 minutes in a lecture room, lunch and 10 minutes to explore the park (which it takes a week to cross)


But that didn’t stop Lotta from galopping off to find a very exciting tree (that happened to be an ordinary maple


And Marcus had time to look at some sheep (there are 33000 inhabitants and 1 million sheep in the park so they aren’t exactly hard to find)


And back in the bus to go to a steel mill that was closed. But one of the teachers gave us a fantastic lecture outside the gates.


Lotta didn’t get a fancy room this time but mine was of course worse anyway, I even had flowers in the ceiling =)


Our hotel


And here’s a bunch of pictures from Cardiff castle.


Built in 1801 to resemble a mideval castle. The roman ruins are 15 meters beneath this building.


Do you see the man in the picture?


When the castle was built electricity was taken in for the lighting.High tech!


Cold and warm water and a flushable toilet– 1801!


The family dining table was custom made, the hole is made to host the stem of a tree with grapes. The family wanted fresh grapes after dinner.


The library has a table where the books are kept during the winter to protect them from the damp climate. Still used today.


Marian, Robert, Thomas and Marcus in Cardiff harbour.


And a great way to end the display – We’re everywhere, even in the largest shopping centre in Cardiff.
