After this last window, I think there is nothing left to say than:

Merry Christmas!

Hi to everybody!

Today there were these lovely interviews with people from the fh. Please honour the wonderful christmas hats the girls wore, it put big pressure on the five to get them!

But did make the same observation like me? After about 47 seconds in between Prof Millers interview there was a small interruption. Did you see that? At first, I thought "Aha! There is some hidden advertisment in this video - too short to be recognized but long enough to get stuck in your subconscious!" But after closer examination it turned our to be a PC - so what does the group want to reach with this? I came to no possible conclusion - maybe you did?!

I leave you with this "Christmas riddle" and going to be back tomorrow!

Yours, Michi

Hi there!

First of all, I’m sorry for having been silent the last days, but - you may have guessed - stressful christmas time got caught of me as well…I hope you fogive me .

So let’s have a look on the last windows. There were several windows inviting us to take a look at other cultures and how they celebrate "the most wonderful time of the year". And others showed us that there are also people who are not able to celebrate Christmas in the way we do.

Can you remember the little girl in window 12? I was really astonished and shocked when I watched the video…

But there were also a lot of funny things to find. Have you watched the marvellous boy chorus in window nr. 14? Great !

Or the way Australians celebrate Christmas - it’s unbelievable for us Middle-Europeans who connect Christmas automatically with coldness and snow!

I hope you had fun at solving the crossword puzzles! I’ll be back tomorrow!

Greetings, Michi

Hi, there! It’s me again!

I hope everybody enjoyed him/herself opening the great windows of the previous week!

Let’s take a closer look on window number seven: Group7 created this wonderful animation presenting their international contacts. But did you know that there existed a 4th international team member? He is from India, but when a girl from the group refused to marry him, he quit the project… But let’s talk about the animation: At first the program didn’t work right in our computer labors in school..so the teamleader brought her on laptop..it was really funny looking at her working parallel on two computers…then it worked, but there was some kind of magician in the thing who shut down the computer everytime she typed in "Strg + C"…But now look at the result - it’s gorgeous!

The following day you might have seen the cookie video - it’s right at the bottom of the site and it takes some time to load but please watch it - it is it worth! For people how don’t know the background music: the song is called: "Backe, Backe Kuchen", a german children’s song describing how to bake a cake:

Backe, backe, Kuchen,
Der Bäcker hat gerufen!
Wer will gute Kuchen backen,
Der muß haben sieben Sachen:
Eier und Schmalz,
Butter und Salz,
Milch und Mehl,
Safran macht den Kuchen gel!
Schieb, schieb in Ofen ‘nein.

Another interesting story: they declared that every cookie that is damaged has to be eaten right now. you couldn’t imagine how many damaged cookies were produced after this commitment…

So, that was it for today!

Yours, Michi

As promised, today I’m going to show you some funny impressions which may have been unnoticed…

I want to start with day 3: Hopefully, you all enjoyed the different versions of "do they know…" - but have you taken a look at video number 9 on the second page of the playlist? A young, dynamic group called "baines aid" produced their version of the famous song. At first glance, I was wondering why Group 3 chose this video…but now I know: They want to show that there even exists such a version of the song. So if you haven’t watched the video yet - don’t hesitate to do it now! - it’s really amusing.

So, today - Group 4 created this wonderful site - you definitely enjoyed the marvellous Baked Apple video. I hope everybody tries it at home and I’m sure that it will work with this great introduction. I’m sure everybody wondered if the lady who led through the video was a famous tv-star - no, she wasn’t! She is one of our students! And by the way, although the video was perfect, there happened some interesting incidences during the shooting: for example, butter turned out to be really tricky especially when it refuses to leave the knife and apples freshly baken could possibly be hottish in some way…watch carefully the first seconds of the video!

So that’s it for today, you are definitely going to hear more the following days!

Yours, Michi

Hi to everybody!

As I’ve observed, our Adventkalender is
booming! I’m really proud of my colleagues and their work and I’m
really looking forward to open the next "window" .

Looking at the great results is nice and interesting but wouldn’t it be even more interesting to get some funny background stories of the development of such awesome "windows"? That’s the mission of my team and me! In the following days we will give you a lot of impressions and tell you some hilarious stories of our eight groups to show you the fun and also the hard work which is involved in such a project.

I hope you are aching to hear more from us…

So visit us tomorrow - live from Bad Gleichenberg!

Yours,

Michi and the rest of "Koordinationsteam1"
