My trip to Norway
On Tuesday, the 10th of May, we started our trip to Norway. We went there from Tallinn by plane. The flight lasted for an hour.
After the flight we went to Oslo. We stayed there for 2 days. I like Oslo very much. This is a really beautiful city. In Oslo we went on a trip and see the sights.
At three o'clock we started to drive to Stryn. We arrived in Stryn at 23.30.Then we met our host families. When we arrived at the house ,we went to bed because it was too late.
The next day we went on a trip. We saw there a beautiful sea and an interesting city. And of course we ate a fishsoup.
On the third day, we went to a Norwegian school. Everybody there was very friendly and wanted to talk. After school we went bowling.
The next day we went to see the glaciers. This was amazing. Later that day we just met some of the other people and went out.
I like Norway very much. The nature was so lovely. I found here some new friends, too. I hope to visit Norway again soon.

Trip to Norway
I’m slowly trying to get back to reality after arriving home three days ago from our trip to Norway. The trip itself was phenomenal. Norway is a beautiful country - far more so than I have even anticipated.
We stayed in Oslo for one night. Before we left, we had time to walk around Oslo. We saw very beautiful and interesting sights. At 3 o’clock we started our journey to Stryn which was very tiring because it took 8 hours to finally get there. We reached Stryn at midnight. Everyone started to look for their host family and when we all had happily found them, we left.
My host family lived 20 minutes away from Stryn. We had to get up a little bit earlier than the others because we didn’t want to miss the bus. The whole family were so sweet and kind to me and they treated me as part of the family which was why I didn’t even want to leave. I think I’m very lucky because I got to meet Kristi and her amazing family.
Our days were full of activities. We had so many fun things to do and so many beautiful things to see. The program was very interesting and we got to see those huge mountains that we unfortunately don’t see in Estonia.
On Friday, we had to spend the whole day at school with our hosts and we visited the lessons with them. The school was so different from our school because it was quite small and there weren't very many students. Their schoolday starts at 9.00 and ends at 14.30 every day.
All the people were very kind and friendly and I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together. I’m so glad that I got to meet those amazing people from Stryn. The atmosphere of Norway is absolutely different from the atmosphere of Estonia. The whole trip was so unreal for me and I’m so thankful for this opportunity. I really wish I could visit Stryn once more in my lifetime.

A trip to Norway
On the 10th of May, Estonian students and teachers took a plane to Norway from Tallinn.
When we got to Norway, the first thing we noticed in shops were the prices, because they were very high compared to Estonia.
We stayed the first night in a hotel in Oslo, which is a very beautiful city with many different people. People are very friendly in Norway, so it was a pleasure to be there.
The next day we drove eight hours with a bus to Stryn – the place our hosts live. The bus trip was very exhausting but actually not very horrible because the nature is so beautiful in Norway, so we just stared out of the windows and admired the mountains.
When we arrived in Stryn, our hosts were already waiting for us, so then we met them and went to their houses.
On the third day we drove around in Norway, near the Stryn, with a bus with all of the Comenius people. It was quite interesting, because we got to see more of the picturesque scenery.
The fourth day was very interesting because we got to see the school where our hosts go to. It is quite different from our school because there are fewer pupils, they have to bring their own lunch to school and in the breaks they have to go outdoors.
In the evening we all went out to the bowling alley and later to a place where teenagers get together and have fun. That day was very cool because we got to meet many new people.
The next day we went up in the mountains where we saw the glacier and when we came out of the car we could see an avalanche high in the mountains.
Later that day we just met some of the other people and went out.
On the last day we went to the guesthouse where our teachers were staying. We spent time in that house for a whole day until we had to go on a bus, which took us to Oslo again. This time the bus trip was kind of terrible, because everything was so uncomfortable and everyone except me were sleeping.
All in all, the trip was awesome because we had a lot of fun and it was very sad to leave. I already miss Norway, so I hope that one day I can visit this country again.

Norwegians in Estonia
Our trip to Viljandi, Estonia March 11-March 15
Our trip started March 10, were we took the night bus from Stryn. The airplane left to Riga when we came to Gardermoen. When we arrived Riga the luggage waited for us all by it self, and we took a luxury bus past the border to Estonia, then an old buss to Viljandi. Our host families waited for us at the bus stop.
The next day we had some spare time. Some of us spent their money on shopping, and some of us went to a water world. Later that day we met and ate pizza.
Sunday all of the German guests and the Norwegian guests went skating with our host families. Some of us had awesome skills in skating, and others were pretty bad. After a tasty lunch we got a guided trip into old Viljandi, and after that we went to a concert at St. Pauls church. Later that day we went to an observatory near by, and learned about the universe and did some experiments that impressed us all. We got nails in our hands, and the teachers got new hairstyles.
On Monday we went to see Keila-Joa, a waterfall, where we learned about alternative energy sources in Estonia. But since we got ten times bigger waterfalls in Norway, we didn’t get so impressed by this waterfall, although it was pretty there. Later that day we took the bus to Tallinn, where we went to see the Tallinn Science Centre of Energy. After a long presentation, we were allowed to walk around and take a close look at all the exciting experiments. On our way back home to Viljandi, we stopped at a big shopping centre where we could spend some of our money. After a couple of hours with shopping, we decided that it was time get home because we were about to get poor. On the bus ride we had a lot of fun, and we all got to know each other pretty well.
On Tuesday we met on school. We joined the lessons before we had presentations. We were all nervous, but the presentations went well. The teachers had a meeting about comenius, while the students learned to test how clean different water samples was. Tuesday was the last day in Estonia, and we went bowling together.
On Wednesday we left Estonia. This was very sad, but we knew it wasn’t the last meeting with them. They were coming to us in May.
