1. Maria Markova

2. Fly with us to Estonia, Tallin!

3. After our arrival and warm welcome, we met the
families of our hosts. We were not so tired and we
walked around the town and we saw some of the
most spectacular views.

4. The next day we visited Gothamite `s Village,
where we learned how to make soap with herbs
and spices.

6. Gothamites are the characters of one funny
legend and they are famous for their senseless
and aimless activity and all kinds of funny tricks.
We were separated in two groups with guides,
who presented us their games.

7. The teachers also enjoyed the games with
us. : )

9. The third day was very
dynamic. Our Estonian
friends organized a
game in the old town.
We were parted in
teams. We had to find
the most popular
buildings in the old
town. The first team,
which had found
them, was the winner.

11. The team in which I was didn’t win, but we can say
that we had found all the buildings in the most fun
and cheerful way. :D

12. We were surprised with a city tour bus. It was
very exciting.

13. We ate in the canteen and it was time for the
presentations of Bulgaria and Turkey.

14. Before the start
of the
presentations
younger children
from the school
gave
performances.
Filled with lots of
singing, dancing
and Estonian
humour.

15. After the program we had a lot of fun.

16. Our days went by very quickly, it was our last day,
which began with the presentations of Spain,
Poland and Estonia.

18. Our teachers had to prepare the documents and
things for the trip the next day. They went in
another room. We had workshop. We were
making portraits of our Estonian hosts and we
were partying a lot.

21. We had lunch in the canteen again. Then we had a
meeting at the Museum of the harbor. The sea was very
calm. The weather was bad and did not allow us to
swim, but instead of that we saw interesting ships.

22. In the museum we were divided in two groups
with guides again. They told us stories of the
submarines, tanks, boats and all the exhibits.

24. We took pictures in different costumes. We
definitely felt the sea life.

25. That was the end of
the program for the
day, but we had more
plans….

26. We played bowling.

27. We played pool.

28. We had fun until midnight.

29. The week passed and it was time
to go home. Even if we do not see
our new friends again in our hearts
and our memories will stay that
different week, which have met us,
in which Europe laughed!
