Hello everyone! привет! Sziasztok!
I’m trying to remember my last month in order to write
it down here and let you know how life is going in Narva.
May I introduce you to my little sweet group. I work with these kids every day
and I learn something new from them every day. If I don’t understand what they
want from me, I tell them in Russian “я не понимаю”, to speak
slower or show me what they want to play. Most of the kids think I’m from
England because I speak English. They don’t understand why I speak English and
not Hungarian if I’m from Hungary. I think it’s really funny.
Last week we went with the kids to Narva-Jõesuu and we spent the morning at the Baltic sea. It was fun, the kids enjoyed the sport games so much:
Our last Russian lesson was at our Russian teacher’s,
Marina’s home. who is a really nice person and a very good teacher too. She
cooked us a delicious Russian pancake what we ate with sour cream. In Hungary
we usually eat the pancake with jam, cocoa or cottage cheese.
It took me two months but finally I found the little
lake in Narva. If the weather is fine I usually go to the pond and I enjoy the
suneshine:
During these week I got the
chance to visit some Estonian places: Tallinn, Tartu and Viljandi and I met a
few volunteers from Germany and France.
Me and Irune, my Spanish flatmate visited Tallinn.
That was my first time in Tallinn after more than two months in Estonia. Of course
in March I arrived by plane there, but that time I couldn’t see the city. The
old town is so historical, busy and amasingly wonderful. I hope I will spend
more time in that place during the summer.
The most notable sights we saw in Tartu: the old
Lutheran St. John's Church, the 18th-century town hall, the university
building, the botanical gardens, the main shopping street, many buildings
around the town hall square and the KGB Dungeon Museum.
In Viljandi we visited Fabien, the French guy who I
met on my on-arrival training in Rakvere. Viljandi is sometimes called the
cultural capital of Estonia.
This trip was a great experience!
Enjoy yourselves and take care! Пака! Viszlát!
