We left Kehtna on Wednesday morning at 4:30
am. We arrived at Tallinn Airport a little bit before 6 am. Soon we boarded the plane and started flying towards Munich Airport. It took 2 and a half hours
to get there. When we had arrived we headed for Munich city by subway. It
took about half an hour. In Munich we visited a cathedral. On top oif its tower we got very
nice views to the city. In front of the cathedral there were a lot of street
entertainers. Soon we returned to Munich Airport and started heading
towards the Paris Airport. It took an hour and a half. When we had arrived in
Paris, a French man picked us up and drove us to Rouen by his van. The drive
was quite long. Soon we arrived at the hotel. Our room was very small, like a
ship cabin, but we got used to it quite quickly. Later we went to a Chinese
restaurant because we were very hungry. It was very close to our hotel. We ate
rice, spicy chicken, sweet chicken, noodles with shrimps and drank water and
tea. I really liked the food and eating with chopsticks.
On Thursday we went to Claude Bernard
College. The French teachers and students gave us a tour there. It was
very quiet during the lessons. After that we had to wait a little and then the
workshops began. There were 2 French students and 3 foreign students in a workshop group, but in my group there were only 2 French and me. The first
workshop was the Spanish workshop. I had to repeat fruit names in Spanish After
that we had to fry pancakes in the kitchen. Then we had to choose clothes for the
fashion show at the welcome concert. In the last workshop all groups contributied in making a cartoon about the circle of water. I had to move a raindrop on the
ground and one boy took photos after each time I had moved the raindrop further. In the evening
there was a dinner in the school canteen. We could eat all kinds of snacks
there.
On Friday we went to eat lunch into another
school. The meal was cooked by senior students. First we had a seafood dish with fish, shrimps, crab pieces and more. The main course was chicken with
beans and potato casserole. As for a dessert we had apple pie. Later we went to a park.
The plants in the park hadn’t started blooming yet. Then we went to Rouen
city. We had a little bit free time there. We went to a very big cathedral and
later did some shopping. Soon we went back to the Claude Bernard College. We had a dinner and
a welcome concert, which was in French an lasted for about 2 hours. I thought
it was very boring because I didn´t understand anything. After that we had
disco.
On Saturday morning we went to a fishing
village called Honfleur. I liked the village very much. There were a lot
of restaurants and tourist shops. After
that we went to Etretat. The ocean and the views were very beautiful there. Then we went to Le Havre. It is an industrial town. We got some free time
and we went up on a mountain. We could see the city skyline from there. The view wasn’t
very beautiful. In the evening we went back to Rouen and a French family invited us to have dinner in their home. My family lived in a small house which had two floors. We
chatted and ate. We had a dish with potato and minced meat and a pie for a dessert. Later we went up on a mountain to see Rouen city from there. The view were beautiful, but it was very cold. The family was very nice and kind to me.
On Sunday morning we went to Paris. The
Turkish team came with us. First we went to the Pere Lachaise cemetery. We had only
one hour. We wanted to find celebrities who are buried in the cemetery but we
didn’t have enough time, so we only found Chopin’s grave. He had a lot of
flowers on his grave. Next we went to a cafe. I had a vegetable soup. I
didn’t like it. Then we went to Notre Dame. It was big. Then we went to Louvre
museum without teachers because we had a free entrance. We had only a half an hour.
We managed to find Mona Lisa painting and Aphrodite-Venus de Milo. Mona Lisa was a lot smaller than in movies. Later when we went out of
Louvre there was a man who gave us pigeon food and pigeons flied onto our
hands and began pecking. They were very beautiful and cute. Then we went to the
Triumph Arch. It was very big and powerful. Last but not least we went to the
Eifel tower. There was a magnificent view to Paris, but the weather was very
cold. Soon we went to our new hotel. The room was better than in Rouen hotel.
On Monday morning we went to Sacre Coeur.
After that we went to the airport and flew to Munich again and then to Estonia.
We arrived at Tallinn Airport very late and we arrived home after 12
o’clock.
