Last Saturday, after a long and fun day we went on an event with all of the families and their exchange students. The dinner was celebrated in the top floor of a school, and we did so many things. First of all, we wrote our names in labels and got into a room. They performed a lot of shows, for exaple a girl played a beautiful song with the violin. Some Estonian kids performed a little play, and people laughed a lot, but it was in estonian so we couldn´t understand a thing. A nice girl recited an estonian poem too, but there wasn´t a translation either so we didn´t understand a thing; i think it was about a sad topic . Then we watched a video of a singer and a lot of estonian people singing a popular song, with thousands of people watching, it was very interesting. After that, we danced the traditional Estonian dances, it was fun. Us, as Basque students, had to do a presentation of our culture, school and country. Between these events, we went to another room to eat the food the families brought. It was typical and traditional Estonian food, and there was such a big variety, from the sweetest strawberries and cookies to the most exotic fish and bread bites. It was interesting meeting all the families and geting to know more about the Estonian culture.
