At the beginning of the June we had our last exchange week in this school year. 4 student( Helena, Kadri, Hanna-Grete, Marianne) and 3 teachers( Florika, Siiri, Jaana) went to Romania, Petrosani. We started our journey on Monday early morning(03.06.13). It was 00.30 when we started our way to Tallinn airport- all sleepy, but excited to visit Romania! Our flight was 6 a.m. to Frankfurt, then we had about 6 hours free time and next flight was about 2 p.m. to Bucharest- about 5 p.m. we reached to Romania! Believe it or not, but this was just the beginning of our journey! We thought that we had to drive about 4 hours to Petrosani, but basically it took about 6 hours! It was quite late and dark outside, so we really couldn`t see the mountains, but the ride to Petrosani was really great(greetings to our transfer driver Kris :D). We reached to Petrosani about 00.30, so exactly 24 hours long was our trip from Tallinn to Petrosani. Our hosts took us our homes and everyone had a great meeting night with lots of food, kisses and hugs, so the greetings were really nice.
Next day, 04.06.13, we went to their school- Technic College "Dimitrie Leonida" Petrosani. Schoolhouse was so big, there were basically 3 schoolhouses that we visited. First we had an opening speeches and even some local TV program was there to film us, that was surprise. (You can watch it here, from 15.38 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3Gd3trMmGik). After that we visited their schoolhouses and had a lunch. They don`t have a school canteen, so they had ordered some food just for us. After lunch we visited Petrosani, which was really beautiful. We also visited university, medical school etc. After that we had a free time with our host, but in the evening we all went for a dinner.
On Wednesday we visited Hunedoara County. It was about half and hour ride and we all could watch the beautiful nature and mountains while our ride. We visited Huniazilor Castle and had a little shopping time to buy some souvenirs. After that we went to Deva, which was really big city. There we had a lunch and we could also watch the amazing view to Deva. Afternoon we had a shopping time in Deva and then we started our way back to Petrosani. In the evening we had free time with our hosts, so everyone spent time differently ( some of us went to mountains, which was really amazing).
On Thursday, our last project day, was time to do a little bit project work. :D First, in the morning we spent time in their classes. It was really amazing how cool were their classes. Basically because it is technique collage, they do practical things. Example, we went to class, where we all got new hairstyles, make up, nails, even massage! It was really great experience to see how students learn to do such things. After some beauty time :D, we spent some time in computer class and had to make a presentation on Estonian food and later we presented it. Afternoon we had a project finishing and we all got certificates. Then we had our last night in Petrosani which we spent in a really great restaurant, thank you Milena! :)
Next morning we had to leave 6.15 a.m . It was actually great experience for all of us- new experiences, different culture and people. Some of us got new friends, also we managed to learn a little bit romanian. So we reached about midnight to Tallinn and then we had a ride to Põlva. I would like to thank you all, it was really enjoyable project meeting! Greetings to all of you! Hope to see you all again! :)
Mulțumesc! :)
