"The Island of Dream"



There is a place what I think one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It’s called Bora Bora. The original name of the island in the Tahitian language 'Pora Pora,it means "First Born" and in 18th- and 19th century documents were found and at that time the name was: "Bollabolla".


This is a tiny islet in the group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. It is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. Mount Otemanu sits at the centre of the island. These are the most visited places on the isle.

Today Bora Bora is mainly dependent on tourism. Tourists admire the buildings which are typically built in Polynesian style. Houses are a few feet above the in the lagoon so from the window you can wonder the sunup and the sunset.

During when I was reading interesting things about the island I found something what I didn’t know. Tattoos originated in Polynesia. A man's family origin was tattooed on his right side while his victories and awards on his left. They made it with shark's tooth. The government banned officially this ritual.

Bora Bora is associated with the most romantic island in the Pacific- Ocean. Perfect place for hooneymoon! To tell the truth this country is very expensive. So if you like to visit it you have to open your purse.

WAR



Yesterday my boyfriend and I watched War. This is an American action thriller. I don't really like films that have so many fighting and shooting scenes but it has an adventurous and exciting plot . The main characters are Jet Li (Rogue) and Jason Statham (Jack Crawford).
So just a short summary.
After Jack Crawford FBI agent's partner Tom Lone and his family were murdered by Rogue, an assiossin, he promised to look up Rouge and get even with him. Jack's life turned a shambles his wife and son left him after a divorce. Rogue had dissapeared and nobody had seen him for a long time. 3 years later he came back to investigate a maffia war between the Chenese Triad led by Chan and a Yakusa club led by Shiro. Crawford's aim was to prohibit this war. He didn't deal with the circumstances and when Crawford and Rouge met the agent had recognised Rouge was not the man he thought... Jet Li played Victor Shaw a deadly hit man playing both the Yakuza and Triads. Shaw apparently was the mysterious Rogue.
Nothing good could come of that... Writers effectively built the tension toward the first and the final plot twist.
Jason Statham and Jet Li played mixed characters who also representated the good and the bad.
I could just recommend this film. Worth to see !

Insignificant, different, poor...and has an unbelievable voice. He is Paul, the winner of Britain's Got Talent, a talent show for today's generation.
If you go to a casting you dress up smartly you are take care for the outfit. There is a man who bought his suit at Tesco, had a broken teeth...At first sight it's not a perfect superstar but he has got a incredible skill, his voice. When he went to the BGT's first audition and announced to Simon Cowell and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera. The jury nodded but I think they had no idea that he would sing, Pavarotti's Nessum Dorma. Few seconds later he started his song and everybody was stocked... They didn't expect such a performance! So he had a big success and of course we won the competition with £100,000. He has changed but his personality is the same. He get his teeth done, he has invested in some new suits but he kept his Tesco one.
Fortunately, he has a big fame and numerous concerts. Maybe the most honourable performance was in December for the Queen.
At the end I would like to share my favourite quotation from Paul: "All of this is like a fairy tale and I'm terrified I'm going to wake up soon and find I've dreamt it all."
I think he deserves the prize and the respect also!

The first performance

You can compare them... (Pavarotti & Potts)

Maybe most of you have heard about that international company. The reason why I write about it because I will travel to the USA to Pennsylvania in the summer. But let's see from the beginning. Perhaps in October Balázs, Bálint and Réka said that they are want to participate in the program. They applied early... at that time I wasn't enough determined. I was thinking about hours what to do because it is a big dicision. The deadline was very close and I was convinced I couldn't get all of the papers. Two weeks later I heard they extended the deadline I was so happy and I knew that is my last chance. CCUSA accepted my application and my documents. On 2nd March we travelled to Budapest to the Camp Fair. There we could find jobs. Before the camp we decided which camp we would like to work but later we recognised it is not only depending on us. It is a long and annoying story and I don't want to bored with you. The happy thing is that all of us get a job but the boys will go to another camp, Réka and I will go to a sport camp. We will work in the camp store. I think this is the greatest job what I could get. We will have to speak in English minimum 8 hours a day so our English knowledge will improve very fast and that's my most important aim.
Our summer is going to full with job but it is also a holiday, spending time I have never been and so far from family. It will be hard for me and my family. The other thing what I have never tried is flying... approximately 11 hours long distance... I hope I will have no problems with it:)
Our job will start 8th June and end 24th August. But before that I hope that I pass the proficiency exam!

Hello

As I mentioned in my first blog I was in Zalakaros with my mother and my father. Fortunately we got there easy. When we arrived at the hotel we just said: Oh my God!!! The building was so big, beautiful and modern. It was a four star hotel. We checked in and the boots came and took our luggage to our room. The hotel has a spa building where we could have a massage, sauna, steam cabin, thermal bath, so everything what wellness includes. Of course we tried everything:)
When we went to the hotel's restaurant everybody was elegant however sometimes they behaved snobbish but I did't care about them but the most important thing was that the food was delicious. We tasted caviar, cuttle-fish and shrimps. That was the entrée. Honestly I don't really like them. I think they are tastleless. The main meal was really manifold. Saturday evening there was a live concert. Balássy Betty and Varga Feri were the two guests. The performance was amazing.
On the second day we had a massage. I had a relax massage and a man kneaded me. :) He was handsome.:)
After that we had a little trip. We went sightseeing. The town looks like a little resort centre. Really nice.
So we had a wellness weekend just two days but we had relax and we were very lazy.. I believe worth to go there!

Hi everybody!

I have never written a blog so this is new for me.
First of all I would like to share my weekend experince. Sunday evening me, my boyfriend and his friends went to Óbánya (this is a little village near Mecseknádasd) because there was a traditional event it is called: Firewheel-roll. It means from the top of a hill men roll down a burning straw whell. The tradition says that whither the staw whell goes and stopps at that direction that year there will be rich crop. Maybe it's true... but I don't believe that:). It was very spectacular and I liked it very much.
Maybe that's only for the first time.:) and I am looking forward to this weekend because we are going to have a wellness weekend in Zalakaros.

bye
