Lithuania

The beginning was not the best but when we were in Lithuania it was amazing. When we arrived our hosts were so happy that they started to shout .After a little talk we went home and later met in Donata’s house for a little welcome party. The next day at school I was surprised to see so many beautiful girls!

 The Lithuanians are very friendly.  And so are all the others we met: the Italians, the Finnish and the Spanish people. We were welcomed by the headmistress of the school. We presented our work about creativity and advertizing, I think it was cool. One manager came to school and explained how we can make a good idea become true. After this we went to the Town Hall where we met the Mayor of Jonava. He is very young and he used to be a student at Jonavos Senamiescio Gimnazija. His teachers must be very proud of him!

In the evening our hosts showed us how colorful country Lithuania is. We had to learn four kinds of dance (I got the most beautiful girls as dance partners!) It was very nice.

On Thursday we met a real businessman. We worked in groups, in mixed teams trying to promote and sell different products, of course it was just a game.  After school our host took us to Kaunas the second biggest city in Lithuania. It is very nice, it looks like Pécs in Hungary. When we went back to Jonava while in the bus we just sang songs the atmosphere was the best I think.

 On Friday we had to wake up early because we went to Kernavé, which is beautiful, especially in autumn. After that we went to Trakaji. Its castle looks like a romantic place. My English teacher went to stocks and I took a picture about it.

 I shot with a crossbow, I’m not the best at it I have to admit. I think it was great. After that we went to Vilnius. We had lunch in a restaurant and we tried to find some gifts for our family.  When we arrived back to Jonova we had a farewell party.

In the morning we said good bye to our new families. We went to school and hugged each other and said good bye. That was the best trip I have ever had. Thank you for the unforgettable days we spent, for your hospitality and friendship.
