One of the oldest castles in South Bohemia was built by the Family of Vítek, around the mid-13th century. The medieval disposition of the castle is consisted of the Lower and the Upper Castle. The castle was to become a worthy monument of the Buquoy family´s glory. The present-day sightseeing routh acquaints visitor with the oldest members of the Buquoy family. The last Rožemberks and the White Lady, who is belived to appear in this castle, are mentioned too.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Rosenberg)
And now, On-arrival training, yeah, very nice experience. We had trainig in this castle. Everyday we had a working section, and after that, break, with cookies and tea. The whole session was very productive, we talked about our projets, comunication, EVS, about program Youth in Action, about stereotypes, etc. And the other volunteers, who were from whole Europe ( Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, UK,...), are very nice young people, open minded, positive, creative,etc. We are all different, from various countries, different cultures, but still we are the same. We all came to Czech Republic, to learn something about czech culture, language, make new friends, to contribute organizations in which we are here in Czech Republic, to travel, etc.
It was a great experience, to meet this people, talk with them, laugh with them, yeah, very very nice. And I hope to see them again.
