Here I am

I've been here in Estonia for five days now. First all the exchange students who will spend their year in Estonia had a arrival seminar for four days. There were people from all around the world, over the half of us from Germany but there were also some people from Thailand, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Belgium and  Czech Republic. We had workshops about the Estonian culture and other useful stuff and language lessons there. Besides that we played many games, which were really fun. I really enjoyed the time there, the teamer and the students are so amazing. One evening the teamers gave us typical Estonian sweets and I am already in love with Kohuke! We also had the opportunity to go to sauna, for me it was the first time in my life. I didn't expect to like it that much. It was just awesome!

The lake near our youth hostel. It was so beautiful. 
               


But on Wednesday it was the last evening because we would meet our host families the next day. I was so nervous!
We sang an Estonian song for them, I think it's called "Mul on üks tore tädi" which means "I have a nice aunt". Here is the link to the video of it: https://www.facebook.com/YfuEesti/videos/10152873436966157/
Then we could go to our families and hug them for the first time. We had lunch together and then we drove home.
 So I arrived at my new home yesterday. My new home for 10 months. It's a little and very lovely house with a huge garden. Estonia is so green! Everywhere are trees and trees and trees again.
The next day I was alone at home so I took a little walk through the nature and took some pictures.

The parents of my host mother live in our neigbourhood, so the girls stay often with them. This evening we ate apple pie at the grandparents'. They only speak a few words in English, so I was forced to talk in Estonian to them. Because I have learned some Estonian before in Germany I was able to understand some frases. It is an incredible feeling when I speak a few words in Estonian even when it's the most easiest 'sentence' like for example juustuga? ~with cheese?

Tomorrow we're going to go to Rakvere because Iti has a competition there,so we can buy some clothes (one of my trousers ripped yesterday-yeey)

to all my friends and family back in Germany: feel hugged💕
