Students' exchange written by Laura

Hello! I am going to write about the students’ exchange which took place in my school on 19th-24th January. Sad part about it is that I was sick at the time so I couldn’t be part of many activities.
Italians arrived in the evening on Thursday. I couldn’t host anybody so my girl Elisabetta was staying at Merit’s place. It was actually great because mine and Merit’s guest Monica were best friends.
For the first time I saw all the Italians on Friday night. We met at the party for Italian and Estonian students so we could get to know each other. My first impression of Elisabetta was that she was absolutely stunning. Also when we started talking then turned out she was friendly and kind, too. The night went well. I had fun in my own little company. The game where we had to teach foreign people the “Põdral maja metsa sees” song was very fun which they learned pretty fast by the way. The party ended at 10 o’clock with a huge disco.
On Saturday Italians got to see different snakes and presentation about Estonian National Defence Forces. Later they went to Haanja and visited Suur Munamägi, then went hiking. In the evening me, Merit and Jakob brought our Italians to play bowling. It was a lot of fun and we got to know each other better. After we spent couple of hours at Merit’s place.
On Sunday morning my father took me and Merit’s “household” to Värska’s waterpark, where we showed Italians the real Estonian sauna. I hope we didn’t cause them any traumas. When we were done enjoying South-Estonia’s beauty we brought them to Pizza Olive and had a wonderful lunch. After a heavy meal Jakob picked us up and we went to Ahhaa’s science centre. The guests were pretty pleased with that experience.
As the leaving day got closer we started to appreciate the time with Elisabetta and Monica more and more. On Monday visited our school Estonian singer Gerli Padar. Later that day we visited University of Tartu Institute of Physics.
Unfortunately had arrived the day when the Italian students went back home. I was really sad to see them go but luckily I’ll see them again in May in Italy!
