Day 1. // 12th of July

Our small trip started on Monday, 12th of July morning at 8.00. We drove by small bus to the airport of Tallinn. We arrived quite early, about 10.00. Airplane took off at 11.35, so we had a little time. We hung aroung and played some games. Some of us played cards and we all played one fun orange game, called what all you can do with one orange:D (group was divided into two groups). I have to mention, that my group-members had very good fantasy:D. Quite soon arrived the time to go to the plane. I can honestly say, that I was quite scared, because I flew for the first time, and there were a lot of others, who flew first time by plane. It took about an hour and it wasn't so scary, as I thought. I survived, but I can not say, that I liked it. We made it to the airport of Riga (RIX), where we had A LOT OF time to hang around. We waited about 4 hours, to go to the next plane. We played a lot of maffia games and just walked around. Finally was the time, when we were allowed to go to the airplane, the time was about 16.40. When we arrived to Belgia, I had to switch my clock an hour back, because there is another time zone. So the time in there was about 17.40. We took our luggages from Brussels airport (I have to say, that alone I certainly would have lost in there, because it wasn't so small airport:D). Then we met with Belgian team-leader. She gave us directions to go several floors down, until we got to the train. We had to wait a bit and then we could go to the train. Wow, what a comfort was to drove with this train! Supergood! Very quiet and comfortable seats. We drove just a little bit and sat on another train, which was more uncomfortable and drove until Antwerpen. There we met this youth center, where we stayed, director, as I understood. He took our luggages and bags and Marleen and drove to the youth center. We went to underground parking lot, where were a lot of bycycles. At first it was very big surprise for me, but as the time went on, it seemed more and more usual to me, because bycycle culture was widespread in there. Everyone got themselves yellow bycycle. We went upstairs, bycycle next to hand, to the ground, where we could start our journey to Antwerpen youth center, called Scheld'apen. Drivind speed was slow and our smooth movement was interrupted by several traffic lights, but I didn't matter at this time, because we were only interested in the city. Warm summer wind fluttering in our hair, we drove to our destination. It took about 20 minutes to get to the destination. Our trajectory wasn't so straight and it was actually quite long, but because of the excitment it seemed shorter. When we got there, we sayed hello to Belgians in there and I personally was very sad, because there were only 5+2 belgians. Belgians seemed very friendly from the beginning. Then we were offered soup, which I certainly would haven't eaten, if it weren' so dark in there and if I wouldn't have been hungry. After dinner we went to bar, where we just sat. As I understood, in this evening actually were planned some games, but because we arrived so late and everyone were tired, it was decided just to sit in this evening. It was the only evening, when I went to bed early. But it was on purpose - to have energy the next day. There were people from Estonia, who just melted in (Kersten and Pille-Riin), but unfortunately, I have to say unfortunately, I am not that kind of person. It takes more time from me to get the contact. Without getting contact with belgians in this evening, I went to bed about 22.00 (or a little bit later, but I can not remember anymore, and I do believe, that it doesn't have so big importance anyway). Some of the people spoke for a long time, but I went to tent quite early. Estonians girls got themselves tent with three chambers, where every chamber had 2 places. I was with Kadi in one chamber and I am still very happy about it. Night!

PS! I'm not gonna put up the pictures, because You can see them from the other blog (in Estonian) and it is impossible to translate them also:D
