Friday - 10th May

Although we started preparing for the project meeting right after returning from France, on Friday we were all very busy and it seemed we had left too many details to the last minute. We finished off with the welcome show, Diana and Egert practiced reading the texts, boys tried to get their feet right with the can can dance. We were very anxious about the tecnical side because our activity coordinator wasn't with us and we asked Jordan to give us a helping hand.

At 5pm teacher Evelyn, Marten, Henrik and Diana went to the local shop to buy bottled water and snacks. We took them to the rooms at MTK hostel. We took a lift, but to our surprise we realised that we we needed a special key to activate the lift. So we were stuck there, doors didn't open and it got stuffier and hotter and minutes of waiting seemed so long. Eventually we were "rescued". 

The French and Spanish group were scheduled to arrive at 5pm. Johannes went to meet them at the airport and so did teacher Meeli. At 6.40pm they arrived at Kehtna. Our host students came to meet them and the others settled down in the hostel.

At 10.45pm we set off for the second time to meet the other two groups. Teacher Evelyn together with Sten, Maris, Liisbet and Gladis  went to the airport. The Turkish and Italian group arrived on time as well and at 1.30am we were at Kehtna.
