A normal school day. Austria spreadsheets and images, texts on the "White Rose", music by Christina Stürmer with text study, ....

came for two hours another Austrian colleague to us, and in two classes, we were rehearsing for Wednesday. Unfortunately I had a group from the program because it is not time runs out. In addition, some basketball match, rehearsals, dance ,.... It would be too great a risk, they were unprepared to send to the stage. I did not want to harm them, so there will be only one group. - Details on Wednesday.

the afternoon run, with violent head wind and at night a date with the young IT colleague who lives in the same house as me. I have invited to dinner in my apartment (first visit siet 3 1 / 2 weeks) and then he made me more aware to 23 with the clock nightlife Tabasalu.

showed up in a free hour I one of the sports teachers opportunities that the students here have. The equipment is a dream: gym, aerobics room (the size of our gym), fitness rooms, swimming pool, etc.

An English teacher asked me to my PowerPoint presentation on the 2nd Free hour I had to show in English, which I did gladly.

then internet quiz on Austria, quizzes, posters, fact sheets in German, etc.

the afternoon I drove the caretaker to Tallinn, where I was invited by the Austrian ambassador. At the National Library, there was an exhibition of Austrian artist.

Thereafter I visited with the Austrian colleague, nor the occupation museum, which deals with the difficult period of almost 50 years of occupation by the Soviets. It is hard to see how has a nation that enjoyed in the 20s and 30s for the first time his young independence and a P bib sought in the community, any identity was. In the archival footage we see as a women's choir that sings is not what it used to Estonian folk tunes, but songs of praise to Stalin: "Stalin Oh, great leader, we love you, we bring your harvest home safely ,...."

A suitable story from that time: After the cornflower, the national flower the Estonians, they wanted the first song festival in 1969, of course, oodles of it to use for decorative purposes. However, the Russians insisted that they were not allowed to be blue, but red had, so all the corn flowers angesprayt red.

After another evening walk and dinner in the old town. Return by a minibus, which are here a lot and cover a number of public transport.
