On 12th June Emu and I are returning to Germany for the summer break. It's a bit sad because I really like to live here in Prestwich. Soon we're going to change this cosy and peaceful location where we are on our own for two separate places stuffed with family members telling you what you should do and not.
Moreover, Prestwich is such a great place to live.
Heaton Park, one of Europe's biggest municipal parks, is in my near vicinity. (By the way I put some pics which I took on my cycling tour through Heaton Park on http://discover-lifes-beauty.blogspot.com/  )
Even now while writing this I can look out of my huge window and see green trees and grass with squirrels hopping around. This is bliss. :D

Just some minutes ago I came back from my cycling tour through the quiet and leafy streets of this town belonging to busy Manchester. Many wealthy Jewish families live here and the houses are gigantic. It's very impressive and a bit of an adventure because I've never seen so many rabbis and Jewish people in Germany before. Actually, I've never seen a rabbi in real-life before moving to Prestwich.
All of them seem nice and cultivated; I really don't understand why there are some people discriminating against them. And I don't mean German people.
However, due to Germany's history many Germans were taught since early childhood to be tolerant towards people with other ethnicities. In my school career topics like WWII and all the cruelties committed to innocent people by people, having their brain switched off while listening to Mr. madass's aggressive speeches, had been an issue in my history, religious education and German language classes more than a dozen times. Much to the grief of my classmates because they honestly can't identify with the things their ancestors did. I mean why should they? No one understands why their (great)grandparents committed such an inhuman crime under which Germany's new generation still has to suffer. I think not understanding the reason why and how something like this could happen in a developed country can be unbearable. Especially, when there are people all over the world still associating Germany with Nazis.
I really can't understand it. My parents are from Poland and therefore I've got a neutral position towards this case. Well neutral, despite knowing that my great-grandpa was killed by Germans and my grandma was close to be deportated to a fricking KZ. Fortunately, a neighbour said that he goes in place of her and that she has to hide in the corn fields what she did and survived (otherwise I wouldn't be here ^^).
Each year I visit my Polish relatives. And wow I've never experienced such a high extent of blind racism. They are discriminated against everyone who's not Polish. Even the younger generation is taught these narrow-minded views.And of course, Jewish people are the preferred target for these dull assumptions. My cousin who's 17 said that Muslims and Jews are the same, following this she asked me "Who's more worse Muslims or Jews?". Wow- I was so baffled. I didn't know what to say. But I guess my bewildered look must have told her that she said stupid things. And the bad thing is: this girl is not stupid, she attends Poland's number 1 high school. In conclusion, I observed that there are still prejudices against German people which distracts from the rising intolerance and racism in other countries like Poland .

Since the exam period has finished I have been chilling all the time. Well,mostly, last week I had a bad laryngitis. Instead of going to see the doctor I used a tea based on the principles of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. And actually, it worked because my voice recovered within 2 days. My swollen tonsils came back to normal 2-3hours after drinking this tea. I tried to buy more of this stuff and looked in each Chinese supermarket in the whole Manchester area and I can't believe it but it's sold out everywhere. Chinese people know what's good.
While I was ill I had much time to listen to the new album of Schiller. Schiller (band) is a German one-man band making good electronic chillout music. Schiller means so much to me because I've been listening to Schiller's songs since I was 14.The latest album is "Sehnsucht" (in English Longing). There are two songs which I like best among other good songs from the album.
Schiller feat. September - Breathe
Schiller- Let me love you
