Su olen ahw

 Few days without writing and so many things happened :)

Last Sunday we went to Parnu with kids who come to TURVAKODU every day  after school to do their homework and spend some time. These kids are older than these I usually have to face with ;p

That was a really nice trip! For the first time in my life I was building in snow (something bigger than just a snow ball and snowman). The idea was a snow city but in fact all of the kids were building  ‘some shapes’.  We decided to build… a snail… and don’t think that was just an easy  modeling snow with your hands. We had all needed equipment: sholves, spadles, backets and other things which I don’t know the names.

In the end it didn’t even remind a snail but we had so much fun doing this. The weather beside it was freaking cold was also sunny but still.. I couldn’t feel my fingers after 2 hours hard hackwork with snow reaching to my knees. But the prize for our pain was repaid because after that we went to water center where I spent  1 hour in sauna bath  J yey!

The kids were older than 9 years and were really concerned about me looking like an Estonian but speaking in some other language. In our way back they were teaching me counting to 10 in Estonian. I don’t know how to write it (as yet) but it sounds like : ux, kox, kolm, neli, wis, us, seice, kahekse, uhekse, kume. I know also that there is ux takso (one taxi) but kume taksot (ten taxis) and that monkey is something like ahw :P So when one girl was acting badly I told her ‘Su olen ahw’ which is ‘You are a monkey’ :) She knew that it was for fun of course.

Oh and I nearly forgot. Argo gave me a handmade Valentine card dedicated from him for me! J

Last 2 days I was in Tallinn which is a very nice looking city (at least in winter – the snow adds it romanticisms! ) . I will give you a small view in my next post J
