cool
very interesting. would you like to tell a bit more?

Dear Owls,

in 2005/06, I worked in a Moroccan mosque here.
I studied social and comparing religious sciences at the university and ached for some practical experience. An old school mate who is a young muslim woman remembered me and so I got a small job in the mosque she joined.
So I led a small girls' group helping them with their homework every week. I worked there for 1.5 years, got to know the other teachers and of course the girls. It was a time I won't miss.

Cheers,
Eule

Thank you so much, Eule. you got nice experience. what was the subject of their homework?

Hi Vinny,

I helped them with mathematics (lots of), German, English, history.

Cheers,
Eule

wow, a lot of subjects. which one do you like more?

Hmm, my first thought was mathematics. But also English and history.

Cheers

what about history? what time is more interesting to you?

Hi Vinny,
I'm interested most in the history of my own country from the 18th and 19th century. What about you? Are you interested in history?

Cheers, Eule

Hi Owlet,
no, I don't have pictures of the mosque.
Maybe there was a mix between times in my last sentence. I wanted to say: "It was a time I didn't want to miss." Hopefully, you can understand me now.

Cheers, Eule

Thanks, Eule.

What do you mean with world history? And which period of art history are you most interested in?
I love art. My favourite artists are Niki de Saint Phalle and Hundertwasser.

Hundertwasser house in Vienna

i mean history of mankind in common. i can't pick up some special periods. every period has something special. i am interested in antique history, Maya's history and all other antique civilizations. i like medieval history, especially Spain and conquering. a lot of things...
the same with history of art.

i like this Hundertwasser house in Vienna

Have you known Hundertwasser?
I've visiting this place in 2004 together with a young woman from Vienna. Really liked it.

Cheers,
