As I
learned from writing the blog a month after the project had taken, I will try
to be more precise this time around and blog every day of the activities and
doings. Here goes nothing…
On Monday
we, the Estonian group were just travelling and getting to Budapest, meaning
that it’s hard to actually write anything of the day. We had fun during the
long day, that lasted from 10AM till 20PM, during which we had a bus ride to
Tallinn, two plane rides and a layover at Warsaw. By the end of the day though
we all arrived to out hosts safe, without any luggage missing.
Today,
Tuesday, we had an early morning, compared to the Estonian program, of 8.30 at
school. During the day we got a lot done, starting off with the school tour,
during which we saw the massive complex of János Xántus Secondary
School after which we had the infamous project WORK part
of the project. After this we had lunch, where we were also served a
traditional Hungarian dessert. Next came the interesting part of the day where
we rented a bus and got a private tour of the city with its main sights, like
Heroes’ Square, Jubileumi-park (a lookout point of the city) and the castle
district or old town in Buda. After the 2-hour long tour we took a bus to the
city where we were left to trip around on our own. Back in the Pest side of the
city we didn’t have much time to do all of the things the host had planned for
us because it started raining hard enough to be referred to as “raining cats
and dogs”. To end the day half of the group, me included, went home earlier as
our families had made traditional local foods for us, while the other half
stayed in the city and found something to eat. Somehow I have made it to the
present moment of writing this blog and will just add some memories of the day
in the form of pictures to finish off.
