On Saturday the 25th of May, there was an event organized by Eventime<\/a>. With more than 100 people in the grounds of the Czech Agricultural University in Prague 6 \u2013 Suchdol, the event featured Climbing, orienteering run, relay races, and collective sports. It was an exciting day and a great way to meet people from all over the world.<\/p>\n

The site<\/h2>\n

The event took place in the huge and luxurious sport complex of the Czech Agricultural University. There is a stadium (football and Athletics), tennis and basket-ball fields, and a street-soccer field.<\/p>\n

When I arrived, I saw several stands at the entrance, which represented some organism and associations. There was a Czech tourism organism, another who proposed language courses, Jedlicka Foundation<\/a> who helps handicapped children, and one who sold kids\u2019 clothes, Nahoda<\/a>, an organism of single date and even a small massage stand.<\/p>\n

Of course, there was also a catering stand (burgers, bagels, Czech food, and drinks). The Medical assistance was also here with the team of Canadian Medical Care.<\/p>\n

The different trials took place on the complex, and the orienteering run permits to go around it.<\/p>\n

Trials<\/h2>\n

All of teams had to do 5 trials. Each team was from 4 to 6 members.<\/p>\n

We, the Foreigners.cz team, started with climbing relay. Once a member succeeds in climbing the wall, he has to run to meet the next member and hand over to him. I had never done before so it was new for me. It doesn\u2019t seem difficult when you are at the bottom, but it\u2019s another story when you are paralyzed near the top of the wall. I couldn’t feel my fingers anymore! Hana and Ria didn\u2019t have any problem with it and Martin met some difficulties but less than me. But I succeed to do it and in spite of the pain in my forearms and fingers, it was a great experience.<\/p>\n

Our second trial was the orienteering run. Equipped with a map of the complex, we had to join 6 different places, answer the question, remember the response and go to the next checkpoint. Running of course! Riddles was about Czech Republic cities. I show you the questions but I let you guess! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
