Meltese point of view
March 30, 2008
I arrived at the exchange on Saturday afternoon. From what i was told some of the groups had arrived the day before. I was not very sure what to expect and when i walked into the hostel after a long day of travelling i was glad to meet the smiling faces in the kitchen preparing their cultural evening for that night. They were the Slovenians and they were cooking Golaž! Then as i explored the place I met the Italians, the Estonians and the Lithuanians. I think the hardest thing in the beginning was trying to remember names but that was no longer a problem after getting to know everyone very well.
During the exchange there was never a dull moment always laughing and having fun. From waking up for workshops, exploring Vilnius, late nights out and very interesting cultural evenings I am sure i will never forget this exchange, including the near death experience of driving on the roads during the treasure hunt and getting lost hehe, ice skating , karaoke and dancing all night long. The topic was about human rights and photography. Some good photos were taken and everyone had very interesting presentations on different topics. Although there could have been improvements, the exhibition seems to have been a success!
All the participants were very friendly and everyone got on with each other, which was a very good thing J So on the whole the exchange was very fun and i got to know some wonderful people who I hope will keep in contact.
