The task for Gosia in Belgium

 

Gosia was with the watch in Antwerp.
Antwerp -DutchAntwerpen  - FrenchAnvers is a city and municipality in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp province of Flanders.
Antwerp is located on the right (eastern) bank of the river Scheldt, which is linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The city has one of the largest seaports in Europe. Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the period of the Dutch Revolt.

 

Origin of the name

According to folklore, and as celebrated by the statue in front of the town hall, the city got its name from a legend involving a mythical giant called Antigoon who lived near the river Scheldt. He exacted a toll from those crossing the river, and for those who refused, he severed one of their hands and threw it into the river Scheldt. Eventually, the giant was slain by a young hero named Brabo, who cut off the giant's own hand and flung it into the river. Hence the name Antwerpen, from Dutch hand werpen – akin to Old English hand and wearpan (= to throw), which has changed to today's warp.

Gosia had the the watch in her right hand and was also doing like Brabo did with the right hand.
But unfortunately the watch felt down on the ground and was broken again. 

 

The task for Gosia in Bulgaria.
 

Gosia is travelling now to Bulgaria with the broken glass.
Gosia knows that Bulgarian people likes to drink rakia.
Rakia (also Rakija or Rachiu) is an alcoholic beverage that is produced by distillation of fermented fruit; it is a popular beverage throughout the Balkans. Its alcohol content is normally 40% , but home-produced rakia can be stronger (typically 50% to 60%).

Gosia needs help now from the students in Sofia to change the glass of the watch into  a glass to drink the rakia.
