mirror mirror on the wall
As we thought about reflection and transparency, we thought about the things which everybody would connect with these terms. Things like mirrors, windows and glass. But we noticed that a mirror reflects the outside of the one who looks in it, but that this reflection can't show the real emotions inside. Persons aren't transparent, person can hide their feelings very well, a mirror can't show the soul of anybody. "A mirror reflects the outside, but not the soul!" "Un mirroir donne un reflexion de l' exterieur, mais pas de l'ane!" "Ein Spiegel reflektiert das Äußere, aber nicht die Seele!"

For me, this project in St. Helens was a very special experience. To talk with all these people from different countries, with different characters and knowledge of language is very interesting and it's kind of a challenge. I've never been in England before, and my first impression of this country and his habitants is very well. I love to speak English, especially with the habitants, who are very friendly and open. I also really loved our group and the French and English one, with their leaders and teachers, too. The evenings, we spend together, had been really funny and I enjoyed every day with this group. And I've really liked too, the art-workshops we made in Cowley Language College and I enjoyed our trips through St. Helens, Liverpool and also Manchester. At the end of our exchange, I won't go home, back to Germany. And I wasn't alone with my impression! Altogether, it was an important and great time and our teachers did a good job. I'm very happy, I could be present.
