I never thought I would … in Estonia... drive taxi so often, get further in Estonian, sing in an Estonian choir, speak German so much, meet people from all corners of the world, fall in love with Tallinn so much...
What’ s your weirdest memory or moment in Estonia? In the bathroom of university I wanted some soap, but a small Estonian girl was washing her hands there. So I waited. She gave me an angry look as if I was a stalker.
What was your favorite event and why? The international dinner we did in G4S Dormitory. Fun to cook and even more fun to taste all the different meals. Torrijas, lentil salad, parené buchty, pasta... just delicious. G4S might be very far from everything, but the people from there are the best.
During my Erasmus my life changing moment was …... the moment I arrived in Tallinn and got off the bus. Being alone in an unknown country and knowing no one was very new. Even more exciting after 30 hours of journey with the bus.
What will I miss the most about Estonia? Kohuke, porridge, nature, Estonian language, snow, G4S surveillance( kidding), Old Town, the sea, university( a little) and of course all the people!
Song of the semester? Pass Time with Good Company
Other memories, thank you note, greetings or any other information you wish to include? Ma armastan Eesti ja Tallinna!
