Tallinn, Estonia 6.-10.3.2014

A couple weeks ago we spent a long weekend in Estonia, Tallinn. There were seven girls and two teachers from Finland and students stayed in host families. There were participants from ten different countries which belong to Comenius project. 
       Thursday we went to Tallinn by ship and host families were waiting us on the port of Tallinn. They took us to families and we spent the night with them getting to know each other. In the Friday morning we woke up early and went to the school. We went to the Sea Museum and checked out the Titanic exhibition. After that we came back to school and there were a welcoming ceremony where Estonian students and a dance group had made a performance about every country of Comenius project. After ceremony we had free time with host families - someone went to do shoppings and someone went to bowling centre. 
      On Saturday we traveled around the city by exploring water fall, old town and Kadriorg park. Again we went to school and there were some ecological workshops and every country performed their light pollution PowerPoint. 
     On Sunday we spent much time with host families and with their friend and our friends. We did did shoppings and went to restaurant. Monday was our last day and we played some unplanned games with all the participants. It was sad to leave because we had just got to known some nice Maltese guys. It was nice to get known the host family and we have chance to see our new friends because of the short distance. The school, Tallinna Kesklinna Vene Gümnasium, was Russian school so the students didn't speak Estonian at all so we had to communicate with English. In families they didn't speak Estonian either. 
     On Monday night we came back to Finland and it was nice to come back home. The whole trip was awesome!
