Aasta Lõpu Seminar &update

Hey guys,
so in the beginning of June the End Year Seminar took place. It was really confusing, saying goodbye to all the YFU students, although I am going to see most of them again at the airport/ YES seminar and talking about going back to our home countrys,  although my year doesn't actually end yet. But all in all I had a great time with wonderful exchange students, in the same location, where our Arrival camp took place.

 

As I opened my mail today I saw that an email with the result of the Estonian language test had arrived and I did it!! I seriously doubted that I would pass, but I scored 80% ! I am so happpy about that :3

Besides that I finally received the pictures my host sister took with her camera and can share them now with you :)

 

We took a walk beside the beach ^^ it's so beautiful and the best thing is, that there are no other people :)

I also visited a folks dance festival in Jõgeva. It was really interesting to watch the traditional Estonian dances and it was incredible to see about 5000 people dancing together. There was a little 

market, where my friend and I ate the most weirdest Hamburger in my entire life :D Besides the meat, which also really wasn't the typical meat for Hamburgers, there was only a ton of salad on it,so that it was really hard to eat. In the beginning the weather was terrible, it was raining, and also quite cold and windy, but as soon as the dancing started the rain stopped and we could enjoy it :) In case you can't watch the video, you can check out this link, which shows a similar dance festival

Yesterday we went picking strawberries in the forest near a military center. At  the moment there is a huge practice and it was so scary for me to hear the detonations of bombs (not real lones though) and to see the jets flying above our heads. Estonia has been occupied by other countries so many  times, that they are trying to be prepared, and that's why military is so important here. In school there is a in most cases voluntary subjet, where they learn how to shoot, military history and also some survival things.
