First Week: Activities
Let me give you a short overview of the things I've been doing this week
Sunday (puhaäev)
On Sunday we went to the park in front of the Opera house. There were several things to see and to do. A symphonic orchestra was playing, opera singers were singing, there was a demonstration of a ballet course, sales of costumes, opportunity to drink/eat something.. and of course: many Estonian people ;) In the afternoon the organisation explained some things to us (related to our staying).
Monday (esmaspäev)
We went into the city to arrange the paperwork. From office to office but in the evening we ended up in a cosy cafe-restaurant in one of the hipster neighborhoods of Tallinn. It was an organized dinner and all the Estonian people that are involved in our project were present. It was really nice and the (Asian) food was tasty.
Tuesday (teisipäev)
First day at work in Kesklinna Youth Center. Start-up with coffee and cake & after that we had a meeting. I got to know things like who's who,what activities are planned for September, how and why they work the way they work..
Wednesday (kolmapäev)
As we're new to this country, It's useful to take a look at how they run things around here. We visited three Youth Centers (YC) in Tallinn. It was really interesting, to see what activities they organize, what materials they have, who's participating...but at the end of the evening my head was near to exploding.
Thursday (neljapäev)
We visited another three youth centers. Same story as yesterday, only these YC were of bigger size (and two of them had drums!). In the evening I went out running (for the first time in Tallinn). It was really nice, next to the sea with a sunset as background...
Friday (reede)
Second day at 'my' youth center. I got my own desk and also a schedule of the upcoming week. I'll inform you later, what Kesklinna youth center is all about.
Saturday (laupäev)
With the three of us we walked up to one of the biggest parks in Tallinn (Kadriorg park). Along the way we ran into a small market with fresh and organic products.
Sunday (pühapäev)
A the beginning of the week someone said "hey, there's going to be a marathon event in the center on Sunday. Would you like to participate? We can arrange you some tickets!" . Although I've never ran (more than) 10km I said "why not"!
