Spain Takes the Title!
Stories and Pictures by:
Emin (Azerbaijan), George (Russia), Ivan (Bulgaria), Narmin (Azerbaijan), Sayad (Azerbaijan)
SPAIN WINS THE WORLD CUP! A single goal score by Iniesta just four minutes from the end of extra time gave La Roja the world title for the first time in their history!
It was very interesting match not only for the AUBG camp but also for the whole world.
Del Bosque's side started well, there was a lot work to do for Stekelenberg. For example, Sergio Ramos’s header in the opening minutes. But the Dutch made some hard tackles and played rough, that’s why Spain got down and was just controlling the ball. In addition De Jong and Van Bommel were almost sent off by English referee Howard Webb before the end of half time.
After the first half, the Dutch started well and almost scored two times. But Casillas beat A. Robben twice. Afterward Spain began their attack but every time they just couldn’t push the ball into the gates. 90 minutes over 0:0. I want to highlight that by the end of 90 minutes Holland had already had 8 yellow cards.
Again Spain pushed forward, Stekelenberg had to do his best to save shots from Iniesta, Navas and Fabregas. Besides Holland were left with ten men because Heitinga picked up a second yellow for a foul on Iniesta, and within just four minutes Iniesta scored after a perfect pass from Jesus Navas. A goal worthy enough to win the World Cup, and Spain added the world title to the European championship they won two years ago!
Vicente del Bosque said, “This is an unforgettable moment. We have to congratulate our rivals because they made it very difficult for us. The Final was all about attacking football and both sides tried to play the game the way it should be played. There’s a great sense of happiness in the dressing room right now. It’s hard to put it all into words and the way the players feel goes way beyond words. The satisfaction people feel goes way beyond sport and this is a reward that’s richly deserved. I’d like to thank the Spain fans for all their support. They’re enjoying this as much as the players.”
Andreas Iniesta: “It’s hard to put into words how it feels to win a World Cup. To win it that way was amazing. It didn`t come easy and I still can’t believe it. I’m just happy I managed to do my bit and score such an important goal for the national side. It’s a game to remember and to celebrate. All we want to do now is go home and enjoy it.”

Excursions
Stories and Pictures by:
Bora (Kosovo), Deimante (Lithuania), Ivana (Montenegro), Lucia (Spain), and Nina (Montenegro)
Last Saturday all the campers went to Rila Monastery or Sofia. We all had a great time, but we wanted to know other students’ opinions. In general, everyone liked his trip and would go there again.
Rila Monastery
The Rila Monastery (Monastery of Saint Ivan of Rila) is the largest and most famous Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria. It is situated in the northwestern Rila Mountains, 117 km (73 mi) south of the capital Sofia in the deep valley of the Rilska River. The Rila Monastery is located in 1147 meters altitude in the middle of the fragrant coniferous forests of Rila Mountain.
The monastery is a complex of cultural, dwelling and farming buildings which take about 8800 square meters. The Rila Monastery has an unique architecture. Outside, the monastery looks like a fortress. It has 24-meter stone walls which forms irregular pentagon. The church has five domes, three altars and two side chapels.
Masa Sofranac (16, Montenegro) told us that there she had a great time with all her friends in Rila, that she met a lot of new friends too and they were talking and laughing all day. She really liked that trip. Masa said they entered in one cave which was very exciting but also a bit scary. Masa bought some postcards at Rila Monastery for her parents, her sister and brothers. There were nice things to buy and to see she added.
Rita Avdiu (15, Kosovo) was in Rila Monastery on Saturday. She said that the thing that she liked the most was the architecture of the monastery because it was old but still beautiful, but she also liked the paintings and the trip to the cave. She walked around the monastery, visited the museum and the main church. She bought a cup where it was Bulgaria written and the city and the monastery was drawn on it. She said that it was funny when they walked in the main church with their hands in heir pockets and the priest started screaming at them. She described that trip in only one word that was “Amazing”. She learned that it was named after St. Ivan of Rila, and is known as one of Bulgaria's most important cultural and historical monuments. She said that she would like to visit again because it was very beautiful and she had a great time.
Sofia
Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria and the 12th largest city by population in the European Union, with 1.4 million people living in the Capital Municipality. It is located in western Bulgaria, at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and is the administrative, cultural, economic, and educational centre of the country. Sofia was originally a Thracian settlement called Serdica, or Sardica, possibly named after the Celtic tribe Serdi.
Prehistoric settlements were excavated in the centre of the present city, near the royal palace, as well as in outer districts such as Slatina and Obelya. The well-preserved town walls (especially their substructures) from antiquity date back before the 7th century BC, when Thracians established their city next to the most important and highly respected mineral spring, still functioning today. Sofia has had several names in the different periods of its existence, and remnants from the city's past can still be seen today alongside modern landmarks.
Hana Bacaj (15, Kosovo) was in excursion to Sofia last Saturday. She said that all the things were different and unique, but most of all she liked Church built in 11th century. They were walking around the city, to the museums and churches. She has learned many new things there, for example, that Sofia is one of the oldest cities. Therefore, there was nothing she did not like. She also bought some souvenirs there.
Marina Kolesnikova (17, Russia) went to Sofia and we asked her if she met new people there. She told us that she already knew everyone but the tour guide. She went to lots of souvenirs’ shops and bought wooden accessories and gifts for her friends. She also bought a rose perfume. They had lots of funny moments such as going to Mc Donald’s because no one wanted their food or taking pictures to a Ferrari which was parked at the entrance of a shop. She had a really good time.
Sayad Ibrahimli (16, Azerbaijan) went to Sofia on an excursion with the AUBG group. He liked walking and sightseeing, because he could see many interesting things like the Historical museum, monuments, and parks. Sayad liked the visit to Mc Donald’s the most because he could eat as much as he could get. He didn’t like their trip to Sofia because it was uncomfortable and there was no air in the bus, but he had a lot of fun singing songs. Sayad said that he would like to visit Sofia again in the future.
These trips connect different people from different countries with different dreams and goals.

Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
By Ana (Montenegro)
Everyone knows about this proverb. Many teachers, members of family and sports people have told us the importance of healthy life, so that is why many children have started playing some sport. Boys usually like football and girls prefer playing volleyball, but there are also other sports like basketball, ballet, tennis, judo, handball, swimming and others.
But why do we need it? Many people do not like spending their time in some activity, they are lazy or even they don’t have enough time for any kind of movement. Sure, we can blame today’s lifestyles which are rigorous, people work a lot, pay attention on their careers, take care of children or they just don’t want not to have fun in their life which they thing is too short to be wasted.
In many cases, after I spoke to a friend asking about some sport or activity, I could find the answer devastating. `Oh no, I have to study! I don’t even have enough time to watch TV and rest, sometimes I don’t even eat whole day and I am always, but always tired. How do you think I could handle one exercise without falling down? Besides, my parents also think I am too busy...`
Response like this should be considered as problematic, because the person doesn’t even know the importance of healthy life. While playing sports we improve circulation, the lungs fill with oxygen and they spread, so we can get more oxygen, fill our body with it and help or cells work, our metabolism improves and all toxins leave our body. The result of this is good body structure, nice looking that everyone enjoys having, and there are nice, strong muscles with no fat and cellulite.
The most important thing is the start. We have to begin from something, and the beginning is the hardest thing. Breakfast at 8, nice meal with cereals and milk, lunch at 3 with lots of vegetable and meat and rice and dinner at 6, light and easy, with snacks full of fruit in between. Every day one hour exercise, always something different like riding a bike, doing sit ups, running, walking, or we can play some sport, do aerobics or swim.
Whenever I finish doing some exercise I feel like I have been resting for hours, somehow I feel free, light, easy and nice. I feel like I have lost all of negative energy and that I am full with new, fresh one. That feeling is great. That’s why I recommend yoga classes here in camp. I attended it and I want to attend it again! Take it, and you will see why. Until then, keep in mind the proverb at the beginning of the article.

Life and Music
By Diellza (Kosovo)
I think that if music didn’t exist there would be no life because music makes people happy, it's something where people can see their selves in, where they can express their selves, and where they can feel the freedom.
What would happened if people would go to clubs and there would be no music? I think that If this would happened life would be boring, clubs would be closed ,or they would never be opened, and, if they would go to pubs they would just chat with their friends and listen to others talking gossips and things like that.
Okay maybe we would adapt but would life be the same as now? Well first of all people wouldn’t know what music is as a start, then they wouldn’t know how life is with it, so they would adapt but if something happened and music stopped now... that’s different because I think people wouldn’t allow something like that, even if it did happened at least people lived with it and experienced it and we would know the difference.
I have heard and read stories that usually say that the kind of music that teenagers listen these days is bad just because maybe they can sound the same to each other to them, to much rep, and they mostly have the same topic with each other , but the thing is that teenagers don’t care anymore so they listen to whatever they want and no body can stop them. Who care if there is too much rap or too much rock? At least we listen to it, we dance with it, and we are happy. If someone ordered me to listen to music of 80’s for just one week I wouldn’t handle it because I am not used to listening to that kind of music and it takes time to adapt. I just don’t understand why sometimes older people than us don’t understand us, and why they don’t understand that time has changed as so has music, its not 1980’s now but it’s the 21st century. I will end this by saying that music is changing and will continue to change but people will still listen to it, and enjoy it.

Rock and Rap
By Bora (Kosovo)
People have listened to music for centuries, and many cannot imagine their life without music. There are many kinds of music but right now the most popular are Rock and Hip Hop. When it comes to music everyone is a critic they hate it and they love it. Rap right now is the most popular music but there is still a number of people who listen to rock. Generally speaking, rock music is very guitar, bass, drums, and often keyboard-centric, and often focusing on instruments more than the lyrical content itself.
While with rap, the lyrics are much more emphasized and plays a major role in keeping the beat and rhythm together. Rock and Roll began and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s, first from a combination of the blues, country music and gospel music. Rock music in the 60’s usually talked about the war, conflicts, and many other things while now all rock bands have an emo image and usually talk only about drugs and the good times they had. I think that music from the 60’s is the best , because now everyone can be a singer very easily. 60’s were very hard times and that’s were many inspirations came for the bands of that time. Without getting into the discussion that rappers don't and cant sing or can't play instruments, In my opinion Rap is worn out and overdone in a way but still people listen to it because it’s about money, drugs and woman all the time.But still there are many rap artists that are talented and actually make good songs about what’s happening in the world .Even though rock was good in the 60’s these day’s there are only a few bands left with their originality and as I said before they all have a different style. But there are many bands that mix rap and rock together. And one example is the band “ Korn “ . They combine to make rock into rap. But in the end everyone has their opinion and the discussion between rap and rock is going to still live for years and everything is a matter of taste. But in the end you still got to have talent to sing them both and It doesn’t matter what kind of music you listen to, all it matters is if it makes you happy.

Euthanasia
By Deimante (Lithuania)
Euthanasia is the intentional ending of a patient's life by a physician, usually by lethal injection. There are many opinions about euthanasia. Some people think, that it should be banned, so many countries haven’t allowed euthanasia. But there are such countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington where euthanasia is allowed.
In my opinion, euthanasia should be allowed in much more countries, because such little quantity of countries in the world cause many inconvenience. Firstly, if human being lives in Lithuania, where euthanasia is not allowed, and wants to intentionally kill himself, he can’t do that in Lithuania. So he has to go to, for example, Netherlands, and do it there because he wants it and can’t stand pain of his disease. It causes much inconvenience. Secondly, euthanasia is not done to whoever wants to. It is done basis physician’s advices and bioethical laws. It means that euthanasia is done for people who have serious diseases.
Moreover, human being has a right to choose if live for 2 months in pain and suffering or end his life calmly, with his family and physician. “In...cases where there are no dependants who might exert pressure one way or the other, the right of the individual to choose should be paramount” [“The Independent”, 2002 March].
However, many people think that only God has a right to end a life and the main idea of euthanasia is amoral. But right to life includes right to die and of course, it does not mean, that a doctor has right to kill a patient. A patient has right to choose how long he should live.
To sum up, I think that euthanasia should not be banned because human being has a right to life and death and there are laws how and why euthanasia should be done. Last, but not least, if euthanasia is banned in country where human being lives, it will cause many inconvenience and will cost for person very much.
Euthanasia is the intentional ending of a patient's life by a physician, usually by lethal injection. There are many opinions about euthanasia. Some people think, that it should be banned, so many countries haven’t allowed euthanasia. But there are such countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington where euthanasia is allowed.
In my opinion, euthanasia should be allowed in much more countries, because such little quantity of countries in the world cause many inconvenience. Firstly, if human being lives in Lithuania, where euthanasia is not allowed, and wants to intentionally kill himself, he can’t do that in Lithuania. So he has to go to, for example, Netherlands, and do it there because he wants it and can’t stand pain of his disease. It causes much inconvenience. Secondly, euthanasia is not done to whoever wants to. It is done basis physician’s advices and bioethical laws. It means that euthanasia is done for people who have serious diseases.
Moreover, human being has a right to choose if live for 2 months in pain and suffering or end his life calmly, with his family and physician. “In...cases where there are no dependants who might exert pressure one way or the other, the right of the individual to choose should be paramount” [“The Independent”, 2002 March].

It's your choice after High School
By Ivona (Montenegro)
In my opinion, all children in the world have to decide on their own what they are going to study after elementary or high school. They should listen to parents` advices, but they can not permit that parents decide for them.
For example, my best friend had to go to a high school she did not like just because her mum wanted so. Now, she has a lot of problems and she can not study something she is not interested in.
We spend a lot of time in the life working and it is important for us to do what we want. There are some people who don`t enjoy their job or profession and every single day they are bored and sad. I think all we have a chance to pick what we want and what makes us happy and satisfied and that way this life will be less difficult and we can enjoy it.

Eminem: The Best Rap and Hip-Hop Performer
By Rumen (Bulgaria)
Eminem has a lot of albums like: Infinite, Relaps, Recovery, The Eminem Show, Encore and more.
Singing about his life ,his daughters he quickly became from a Dr. Dre sidekick a full plague rap superstar. Also he has done a songs white almost all of the greatest names in the rap industry like: 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre , 50Cent, Nate Dogg and others.
Many big names like Jaruls, Benzino, and others have tried to “diss“ Eminem and said that he is stealing black culture and said that he is so successful because of his skin color .
A stream of fans and artists came to the defense of Eminem. There were many white rappers before Eminem but they weren’t as successful as him selling 8,9 million records.
Dre sold 6milion records, Snoop sold 7 million records before they weren’t white they were black. 50cent said in an interview “I am black … and I love Eminem.“
Mr. Mathers sings about true things and reality like death, drugs, family and such. Don’t give him credit because he is white, give him credit for his lyrics.
And this is why I think Eminem is the Best hip-hop and rap performer.

In this interview, I’m writing about Ana from Montenegro. She is 16 years old and she really likes her country. She has two younger sisters – Angela (15) and Milica (13). What is interesting about Ana is that she has already been in the AUBG summer camp two times. Since that is her third time here, you could say that she knows her way around. When I asked her why she likes this particular camp so much, she said that many girls from Montenegro come here, so for her it is like refreshment from the tough school program back home. Her dreams are to be successful in her job, travel a lot and possibly live in London, for it is the city that she has wanted to live in since she was very young. What Ana really likes about herself is that she is ambitious, responsible, simple and a good sister.
