Next training course is over...

Next training course is over..new situations, new people, new feelings!

This time topic was M3(Marketing, Management, Money). Super!






















I feel myself very motivated, and I have a lot of ideas what to do in Estonia!


Yes...I have last weeks here in Moldova

Thats why I went with 2 dutch guys to Iasi, one city in Romania. We went there right after our training course, and we had so nice time there - altough the city is only around 170 km from Chisinau, it took us 5 hours to go there - roads are impossible here, and it took us 2 hours to pass the border. As we went there by big bus, then they searched this bus, and they checked all luggages and so on.
When we came bach, we took little minibus, and in 3 hours we were back here!
Unfortunately right now I do not have pictures about that fantastic trip, but as soon as dutch people will send them, I will add them here also!

Can I move to The Netherlands? ;)

Trip to Orhei Veche, my feelings..

Now this training course is totally finished..that means, that organizers, who came here 3 days before, and also stayed here 3 days more, are also gone. I am sad!
I was together with them for 2 weeks, and they stayed in my heart..
During life all people meet somebody, who stays in heart...and who gives smth...I got a lot from them!!!
I miss you Julien and Silviu!
But now few adventures :)

This was rain in one day in Chisinau :) of course I was totally wet and my skirt was with mud and so on! Altough 3 persons died during storms nothing happened with me :)

On this picture I am on 4th floor...and as in Estonia we do not have grapes in the nature then I decided to catch these! Of course Julien was afraid...men! But finally I cought these!!! The best grapes in my life!!!















2 days ago here was one women from France(she was Estonian!), so me, Julien, Silviu, this women Ingrid and my coordinator Natahsa went about 30 km from Chisinau to visit Orhei Veche!
Next to the road there were appletrees....so in the picture you see a pure volunteer :) And also we bought some peaches :)













This is Orhei Veche! A canyon with river - fantastic! Also is there old monastery under-ground.














We had a little picnik there :)




On our way back to Chisinau we stole corn from the field! :D It was super!

Training course 'Maximizing volunteering' 1.-07.08.08, Costest, Moldova

One training course is over again...


And I try to describe littlebit what we were doing.

The topic was ''Maximizing volunteering'', and participants were from 13 different countries - Moldova, Estonia, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, The Netherlands, Italy, Latvia, Belarus...

There were 23 participants, 6 boys and 17 girls and location was Costest, around 25 km from Chisinau. People were very nice...and I already miss them :(






All this week something happened with me. For example:


On monday we visited Milestii Mici(winecellar) again. Now I have my personal King! :)

Me and my King - Julien :)

Julien is very nice young men from France, who is making EVS(voluntary service) in Netherlands :)





After coming out on the celler we enjoyed taking pictures and so on. I went to the toilet..and when I came out, the buss and the car were gone :) Ofcourse I didn't have mobile, money...nothing! So I decided to walk, I knew that our camp is only few kilometres from winecellar. So I started to walk..in few minutes I did't know what direction should I go...so I asked one boy..and he said also that it is around 10 km . It was 19 in the evening, so I tought, that 5 hours, so at 21 I will be in my camp. So I was walking....and during this 30 min walk I found nuts, what were not ready to eat..I tought I am going to die....but apples what I was stealing they were very good!....But myvery intresting walk ended very soon....because the driver who took us in the cellar recognized me :D And he took me in his car and called to my organization! So I was sitting with driver..he bought me ice cream :) And after 15 minutes arriver 4 people, Natasha, Manrina(my org in Moldova) and Silviu and Julien(from Netherlands) :) So after that everything was fine :) They took care of me!

But altough there were many not good things happening with me..still it was very great girl :) I was called coffe-break-girl :) And we hope to realize some projects in the future!
We had national evening and from Estonia there was KAMA, VERIKAKK, VANA TALLINN...

We teached... ''podral maja metsa sees...'' with movements :) they really enjoyed that!












Also we teached them one dance..''2 sammu sissepoole, 2 sammu valjapoole...''

We had a lot of fun there! Sun was shining all the time and we were eating outside!

Thank you all!

Right now my head in empty..one week thinking and organizing things...now I am in my new flat! And you know....I have cat now :)

Ok....but please people from Estonia...if you know where I could live and work in Tartu then please tell me :)

Greetings :)

Veel moned kehvad situatsioonid...

At the moment it is 7th of August, and my training course is over, but before describing that I want to talk about what happened before TC!

My last post was in english, but like then also now I have many bad situations....what all right now are funny!

So, it was thursday, 31st of July. We decided to go all together to eat and drink smth outside. Ot was so noce weather outside! So we decidet to sit in the center of Chisinau in one terass(outside).

But of course after 30 minutes it started to rain sooo much!!! And thunder...ou good..it was so strong. Of course then came the time, when I had to go to the airport to pick up 2 estonians!

As after storm and thunder there was problem with electricity then I had problem to take trolleybus for going to the airport. I was wet, and I arrived finally to airport 15 min later.

But unfortunately airplane came 15 min before..and of course, due to problems with mobileservice(thunder), I could not call.....

Finally it came out that they had one friends here, who picked girls up...so I went just like that back to the city!

At night, 00.25 had to come one boy from Holland - Theo-Henk! So we(me, Silviu and Julien) went to pick him up. One girl, Liedewij decided to go to sleep.

Of course airplane was late, but finally it came...and Theo-Henk was with us!

All people were happy and we decided to go to sleep...

But there was one tiny problem....Liedewij was sleeping and we did not had the key!!!!!!

So....we rang the doorbell, but she did not hear us...So we waited in the corridor...outside was raining and I didn't have my mobile. After around 1,5 hours in the coridor we went with Silviu to ask another key(from the owner)...but ofcourse..after 45 min walking we came back, and we saw boys in our flat already!!!

So...during last days there have happened so many bad things with me, that I even do not want to imagine...

But here is picture from the market :)

Fun!

Now I start to describe my training course!

Minu 50.postitus...ehk siis minu onnetused Moldovas :( :D

Hei!
Nuud on mul siis millestki kirjutada, ning tunnen et ma ei suuda ennast seekord inglise keeles valjendada..niiet saate seekord eestikeelset postitust lugeda!

Pildil naete kohalikku turgu - see on hasti suur ning sealt voib leida koike!
Hetkel on hinnad vaga meeldivad:
ploomid - 5 eeku kilo
nektarid alates 7 eeku kilo
arbuus alates 3 eeku kilo

Koigepealt! Meil on korteris loomaaed! :) Meil on 2 tillukest hiirepoega, keda mina kull nainud pole, kuid kes siiski eksisteerivad! Lisaks nendele oli meil uhel ohtul toas rohutirts!!! Pikkust oli temal umbes 4 cm...taiesti hull oli see! Ja huppas meil toas ringi...katte ei saanud. Alguses. Parast ikka saime! :)

Nuud tuleb koige tahtsam!

Minuga juhtus onnetus! Ja suhteliselt rumal onnetus!

Oli uks onnetu teisipaev.

Algas see sellega, et Natasha(minu organisatsioonist) helistas mulle hommikul kell 8, ning kusib, et kui kiiresti ma ennast voodist valja vedada suudan. Mina vastan, et 3 minutiga. Tema siis selle peale, et selge..mine minu juurde ja too hollandlastele(kes saabusid teisip ohtul) linad. Ajasin riided selga ning unise peaga toin linad ara. Nii. Toimetasin kodus..motlesin siis, et lahen linna suveniire ostma. Laksin linna, kuid loomulikult polnud mulle raha ule kantud, ning nii ma seal seisin, 2 h vaba aega oma rumeeniakeele tunnini, raha pole!

Otsustasin poest omale liha osta(tavaliselt ma vaga suur lihasober ei ole), ning astudes poest valja silmasin ma trollibussi. Hakkasin kiiresti selle poole liikuma, kuid inimesi oli nii palju, niiet pidin moned sammud bussiteel tegema.

Loomulikult oli seal auk, nagu korvalolevalt pildilt naete!!!

Ja loomulikult vajusin ma sinna polvili sisse!

Sikutasin siis oma jala sealt valja, ning jarsku vaatan, et miks mu helesinisel seelikul mingid tumedad plekid on...tostsin seeliku ules, ning selgus, et umbes 4 cm minu polvest allpool oli jalas auk!!! 1*0,5 cm!!! Ja verd tuli lahinal!

Mina tabas shokk! Ei osanud midagi teha, kuid siis tuli umbes 5-6 naist mu juurde, viisid mu bussipeatusesse istuma ning hakkasid mu jalga puhastama. ja omavahel laksid veel vaidlemagi et mida tegema peab. Mina nutsin!!! :)

Nad ei saanud vist arugi et ma kohalik pole! Lopuks sain ma koju. Mobiilil sai krediit otsa! Pidin minema meie uhe organisaatori juurde, kes siis ravis mind. Parast seda laksin

aga lennujaama, et toimetada kesklinna uks noormees

Rumeeniast. Otse loomulikult tabas mind paduvihm! Nii ma siis joudsingi lennujaama labimarjana....lennuk loomulikult hilines!

Okei..noormehe sain kenasti katte, kuigi seal oli umbes miljon inimest lennukilt maha tulemas..

Ja oh ennae imet...korteri voti, kuha ma ta viima pidin ei toodanud! :) Nii me siis olime koridoris, korterisse ei paasenud, valjas sadas vihma, helistada ei saa..ning minu jalg tilgub verd! Ootasime mingit imet umbes 40 minutit..siis helistatigi minu organisatsioonist :)

Toodi voti, paasesime korterisse ning siis sujus juba koik ilusti! Kuigi jalg jookseb siiani natukene verd ja on sinine ja paistes :D Aga vast saab pulmadeks terveks!

No ja ega sellega koik loomulikult ei loppenud..oosel loin oma polve veel marraskile...ning ei saanud korralikult magada!

Aga tana on hoopis teine paev! Homme on meil uhe tudruku lahkumisohtu..ja kupsetasin selleks koogi :) Pildil ta vaga hea valja ei nae!

Ja tegelikult tegin lausa 2 kooki...teine on ploomidega..viin ohtul hollandlastele..veel maitsnud pole....aga vast sai hea!

Ja ongi nuud koik...meil on siin Moldovas uleujutused, millesse kull mina kuidagi ei puutu. Joest olen kaugel!

Kuid alates 1.08 olen eemal..meil on siin training course toimumas(Chisinaust ning internetist eemal) ning vaja seal asjalik olla!

Okei...mind juba oodatakse! :)

Ilusat suve jatku koigile!

Juta :)

My beautiful life in Moldova

Hei-hei my dear friends in Estonia and in all over the world! :)

I will write about my last 2 weeks.

First..we have some new volunteers - Vaida from Lithuania,Romain and Claudine from France. They all are very nice people! :) And I love french people!!! I love their acent(speaking english).

17.-20.07 was our mid term evaluation, and it was located about 20 km from Chisinau - Costest.

On wendesday(16.07) arrived 3 persons from Azerbaijan - Anar(who was in Chisinau already in April...so I knew him before!), Elena(volunteer from Spain) and Benedek(volunteer from Iceland).

We spent 4 days in little village - discussing all the time and finding solutions for our problems.

Of course we visited again Milestii Mici(wine-cellar, my 3th time)/

Here are some pictures!



Bus driver wanted to take away of my flag! I took it back!









Royal Family changing wine-boddles!

I am with The King Benedek(guy from Iceland)


I discovered Iceland!!! I met first time a person from there, and it seems to be totally different counrty. It is even hard to explane...and there are only around 320 000 inhabitants!!!!!







Me and Romain(french volunteer) in front of winecellar!














Me and Anar(guy from Azerbaijan)











Me, Alexandra(my rumenian teacher), Nadja(volunteer from Austria...leaving in 1 week!)














Royal Family!

Me, Alexandra, Anar and Benedek!









Our footbal team - Estonia, Germany, Iceland and France!

Of course we won! And look my outfit! Perfect for playing footbal.

Anar was one time in Estonia...and he came with that t-shirt...in Estonian language!!!!!!

Right now we are preparing next training course what will be 1.-7.08, and also 2 estonians are coming here!!! :)

Right now everything is perfect...here is season of fruits and littlebit even of watermelon and so on..only for me it is too hot!!!

In the morning I wake up and I take shower...during the day I take one or two times shower..also before I go to sleep...and at night of course I have no blanket:)

Yesterday there was strange thing happening with me..I was in the market and I wanted to take a picture, where I am holding one paper with estonian sentence. So I was writing this sentence and suddenly one crazy old lady came to me and started to speak rumenian with me...with angry voice. I was schoked, and I understood some words like - russian, komunist, Voronin(he is the president of Moldova - comunist)... And the point was, that she touhgt I am writing in russian language and I am not studying rumenian language. Then I wanted to say smth in rumenian, but I mixed rumenian and russian..and she got more angry. Then I said in rumenian, that I am studying rumenian but I am from Estonia. Then she did not understand why I am not writing in rumenian language. I said, because in Estonia mu friends do not speak rumenian!!!! But she got more and more angry!!!! So I just went away...schoked!!!!

What else to tell...I need to live somewhere in Tartu starting from september..can anybody help me?? :)

Ok..i will finish now! Have a nice time without me in Estonia!!!!!

New flat, cooking, cherries!

Hei!

When I came to Moldova, then about half of my luggage was full of books! So I am reading and reading now all the time! And I feel myself like hundred years ago, living in counrtyside! :) There was one funny part in one book( I translate into english!): "..On the table there where waiting sandwitches and cognac. Not some everyday-cognac from Moldavia but special one from Armenia!.."
:)

I have a new flat! It is in the centre, and I have a new flatmade - Vitali! He seems to be nice, and he is like me - only 2 weeks younger than me, also graduated university this year, and he is also a blood-donor!
Today in the morning we had a discussion about that, and he said, that here blood-doners get 2 free days from work, and check for around 30 lei, to go to eat somewhere. For me seems to be here bigger problem of donors - I believe that in Estonia we have more blood-donors.

Today in the evening Vitali was cooking kind of Moldovan speciality - mamaliga(polenta, maisijahu). Normally it is not my favourite food, but today we were eating like they used to eat in countryside. With hands! And with brinsa(ehk siis kodujuust vms), potatoes, eggs and chicken! Of course there are many ways how to eat that.

Girls are now very nice - most of them are wearing nice dresses, and mini-skirts!

Last days it is raining here! I love it! Also thunder..yesterday I was in the market! And situation is going better..banana costs 12 lei per kilo, and as now is season for cherryies, then one kilo is around 10 lei(10krooni). And they are so tasty!!!
Coming back from market, I took my shous off, and so I was walking home with "naked foot"...brr...my english! And of course, all people were watching of me!
One thing what to say is that here are much more people begging...are you sitting and having lunch, or you are just sitting in the parc..it does not matter - they are everywhere!

On wendesday is my graduating - as you can guess, then I am going to miss that! :( And I am very sad about it.. :( you even can't imagine..

I haven't met many people from here..they had trip to Ukraine, Odessa on the weekend..but I'm at home and reading and reading!

So it is all for now..

high-educated Juta

I graduated my university!, last days in Estonia

Hei!


Sooo...what did I do in Estonia in June sence yesterday(11th of June)
I had my final exam, I passed it, so I graduated my universiy! :)

I was studying a lot, but at the same time I spent some time with my friends(Külli!) :)

On 29th of may I came to Tartu. My trip was by bus and train. This evening we had barbeque(Me, Külli, her sister, Ermo, Ingmar, Martti). And after that we went to dance in Püssirohukelder again(one pub). I really enjoyed that, we were dancing again and it was perfect! Didn't sleep alot.

On friday I went to see my ex-dancepartner near Rakvere. He had a birthday. I went there by car(Ermo and Ingmar), visited him for an hour, and then coming back to Tartu again.

Also I was in the south of Estonia. We went near Võru, and sunday I was at Külli's place in Põlva. Barbeque again, and not sleeping alot again!

Also I met my friend Allar. Some words about him. He is a boy, who I met in internet for about 7,5 years ago. He is in the same like I am. So we were young when we 'met'. In real life we met around half year later(he lived in Tartu, so 125 km from me). And starting from this we have kept the contact more or less all the time. About one year ago, when I moved we were living even in the same house!

So I met him, and like Külli said, then it was very good for me..after that I did not speak about my exam!!!

Thanks Allar! :)

In general I had a lot of fun after my exams. I spent some time at home with my family, and also in Tartu.

5th of June my father had a birthday. So me and my sister we woke up at 4.30 in the morning and started to cook pancakes for our father!

6th of June my best friends came to Rakvere. Kulli, Martti, Ermo, Ingmar. The reason was that in the weekend we had bycicle(I do not know how to write this word)trip. So on friday we had sauna in my home, and on saturday me, Kulli, Martti went to this trip. In ou group there were more Kullis sister and her friend. So 1 boy and 5 girls. Trip was fantastic - 65 km per one day! In the evening we had party - dancing, dancng, dancing again..

After this trip I had to start packing my things. So it took me about 2 days. On tuesday I went to Tartu, had a big party in Pysirohukelder(a pub). Ermo and Ingmar, my very good friends were singing a song for me! :) Again dancing..and after that sitting in Kullis place and drinking coffee. 3.30 we started to drive to Valga(little city between Estonia and Latvia), because I wanted to catch train(Valga-Riga). So the train went at 5.30, and in Riga I took airplane at 11.10.

...

Weekend!

Hello to everybody!



This is a little picture about me and my new friend!

First: I love different systems in Estonia! For example paying with (credit)card.

It took around 5 seconds to pay with that. And we can pay with card almost everywhere(not in the market, and some places more), but we make our shopping all the time in super-markets(compared with Fourchette and bir Greenhills!, just because we do not have these little Alimentara's).

But my last experience with paying my card in Chisinau! It was in Fourchette(võrdleksin näiteks väiksema Rimiga). I took out my card, seller was watching that, then she was not sure what to do with that. Then she tried to use this maschine for that..but it was broken. Then she asked other people, and finally I had to go and to pay in another 'kassa' . So it took around 8 minutes! :)

Friday I met one girl with who I was sitting in the highschool 3 years!

We haven't met around 2 years maybe! It is weird..you are next to each other for 3 years, and then after that you almost don't meet.

I put here many pictures of ..everything :)

University City - Tartu (100 000 inhabitants)

The parc, where usually are students sitting and drinking beer :)

Just buildings in the centre, opposite of University of Tartu.

Our center of the city!

In the evening I met again my dear friend Martti, with who we had dinner in our place! And then walking in our beautiful city. After we met also Ermo...and then we decided to have party!

So we went in one pub ' Püssirohukelder'. There was one band playing Estonian national-music! And it was so fantastic! I was dancing with Martti and then with Ermo..super! And can you imagine..I was together with 2 boys, but I was only person, who was drinking alkohol(of course not much..I do not need much!).

After that we went to the diskothek. Dancing,dancing,dancing..why I do not dance in Moldova? So prepare going out to dance!!!

Saturday morning I woke up in Ermo's bed(Attention: he is my first love, but now my best friend!!!), and then I came home to Rakvere again.

In the evening I had sauna. And here are some things about sauna:
*it is quite famous in Estonia(I have it at my home, and also in countryside, like many estonians)

*you can use kind of 'leaves' of tree, to hit yourself..to feel hurted, but better! I can't explane

*many possibilities, but around 100 degrees is good!

*you can put honey on you(it is good for skin or smth like this:))

After sauna I was watching Eurovision Song Contest!

On Sunday(today) I woke up at 7.30.
And I went with my father to our countryside! I had to cut the grass :)
Here are some pictures!

The well, and our litte sauna-house!

After cutting the grass I went with my father, brother and his girlriend to the cemetary. To 'see' my grandparents(of my father). I miss them!

Cemetary of my relatives(grandfather and grandmother!)

Then we went to see some animals - bigs, goats etc

Here this broun little 'hill', is the house of aunt's :)

And I try to steel the mushroom :P

Throwing away my math papers! :)

That is all for now. Tomorrow is monday, and again very difficult day! :)

Greetings
