1st day – Sunday
Today I woke up at 10 o’clock. I went into a shower and
packed few more things. I packed most of my stuff yesterday. I have met my classmates at Florenc and we
set off. Unfortunately we had to leave one of us behind, because he had
forgotten ID card. Seats in a couch had electric sockets, so we started playing
Counter-Strike 1.6 through our own Access Point, but playing in a couch is
unpleasant. Therefore we stopped, for now. After five hours we arrived to
Berlin. Two people have picked us at bus station and lead us to our youth
hostel. Firstly we have settled in the hostel. Secondly we went to an Italian
restaurant for a dinner. Lastly we played Counter-Strike again until midnight.
2nd day – Monday
I couldn’t fall asleep due to Mark´s snoring. We had to be ready for breakfast at 7 AM.
Breakfast was great, but everybody was tired, except our teacher. Germany was
celebrating holiday and every shop was closed. We had a tour around the city.
We were terrified, because we were expecting a walk around Berlin, but the bus
has come for us and drove us around city. We enjoyed it. We stopped by Brandenburg Gate, Jewish
memorial and Berlin Wall. I didn’t expected much. In my opinion it is only old
wall, however there was a writing “God is Black” what took my curiosity. The bus
took us back at 1 o’clock to our hotel. We didn’t have any lunch and every shop
was closed. The weather was cloudy, so
we stayed inside our hotel. We spent our time by watching serial Rick and
Morty. In the evening we had dinner – schnitzel. After dinner we played
Counter-Strike again.
I fell asleep first, so I had a good sleep. Alarm
at 6:55 AM is awful, nonetheless today was our first day at the training centre.
Our teacher was teaching us about basic networking. Most of us had already
known it all. He tried to focus the lesson on a practical part. For example designing
a network in a company, it was very interesting. In the afternoon we went back
to our hostel, where we had dinner. We played Counter-Strike again.
Unfortunately, for the last time. My notebook broke down.
4th day – Wednesday
The key to a good sleep is to fall asleep as first.
In a room with 8 people it is crucial. We woke up at 6:55 AM and we had
breakfast. After breakfast we went to the training centre. This time he was teaching
us basic routing. We had known it from our school. Our school prepared us very
well. I think our German teacher didn’t expect it. After our training we went
into a historical museum. I expected to see some interesting things from the
WWII, but I was disappointed. We could see a lot of posters, however I was
expecting German tanks like Tiger, but they showed us Trabi. The most
interesting thing from the museum was destroyed engine from British bomber.
5th day – Thursday
We woke up at 6:55 AM. We had breakfast and went
to school. Today´s lesson was about vlans. We studied it few months ago in our
school, so it was easy. We played pool at our hostel. We had to pay in order to
play. Later we were having fun at our rooms.
6th day – Friday
The alarm rang at 6: 55 AM and we went for
breakfast. We were designing a company network in the training centre and everybody
enjoyed it. After school we went to a lake, where we rented few boats. Roman
got seasick.
7th day – Saturday
Our breakfast was at 9 o’clock and it was
awesome. After breakfast we went to the Games museum, where we could play old
games, see a Gordon Freeman statue or play pain station. It was ping pong and
if you got a goal, you were shocked or slapped. When we could feel our hands
anymore, then we welcomed our teacher at a bus station and showed her
Brandenburg Gate. On our way back to hostel we stopped by Jewish memorial.
8th day – Sunday
Breakfast was served pleasantly at 9 o’clock
again. We have walked to the zoo, where we could see all kinds of animals, even
pigeons. After the zoo we went to
Alexanderplatz, where we could buy clothes in Primark. As far as I know, we
walked over 15 kilometres. In the evening we were tired.
9th day – Monday
After a good breakfast we went to the training
centre and finished our companies. Our teacher told us, what we did wrong and
what we did well. After school, we returned back to our hostel, where we could
relax. In the evening we had dinner in an Italian restaurant.
10th day – Tuesday
We were looking what hardware to buy for our
companies. In the afternoon we went to the museum Naturkunde. It is a natural
history museum. On the one hand, there were all kinds of the interesting
dinosaurs, but on the other hand there were boring rocks. We could see T-Rex,
how the space has been made and a lot of stuffed animals. There was a big room
with large bottles and inside them were dead fish, or something like that. I
got chills, when I saw it.
11th day – Wednesday
Our teacher gave us task to do our own company.
I was a final project for next days. In the afternoon we went to the Olympiastadium,
which was very interesting. At first glance the stadium looked small, but it
has a capacity of 75 000 seats. We had guided tour by very sympathetic
man. We could sit on VIP seats and see teams changing rooms and so on.
12th day – Thursday
We started to work on our projects. We had to
design a new network for a company, buy equipment and make presentations. I
have been doing network for a Pharmaceutical Research Ltd., I had to fit into a
specified budget and it gave me great experience about my possible work in the
future. After dinner in an Italian restaurant we walked around the city by foot
with our teacher. Some of us stayed at hostel, but I found it boring, so I went
with our teacher.
13th day – Friday
Today was our last day at school. We presented
our projects and we received certificates. In the afternoon we headed to the
Alexanderplatz, where we went shopping. Most of us bought clothes in Primark.
Later we went to Postdamerplatz, where is big shopping mall. In the evening we
packed most of our stuff for tomorrow.
14th day – Saturday
We woke up at 7 am, got breakfast and we
started to clean our rooms. After one hour of cleaning we left. The bus took us
back to Prague. I enjoyed those two wonderful weeks.
