2nd day in Estonia, Tartu

Hello friends, parents and teachers! Hope you're all well!
Today, Sunday, 29. October 2016 me and Nika strated the day a bit later since the plans we made weren't supposed to start till 3pm. In the morning we had some breakfast and cleaned up the apartment a bit. We didn't have much to clean thought, just the dishes from morning coffee and tea. 

At around 2 we started to get ready, put some warm clothes on and head off to the bus stop where we were a bit early because we thought it would take us longer to get there but we needed less than 3 minutes. We got on the bus, used our bus cards for the first time and realized that the bus system is almost the same as it is in Slovenia, but here you can enter at any door- we have to entre at the very front door, where the driver is.


 At the next stop we meet our lovely friend Zoe and head off to the city.
 On the way there, we talked about what we do and what they do at their school. She showed us a picture of a project they made in Adobe Illustrator, and we realized we had some very simillar subjects. When arrived at the city center bus station (Kaubamaja) we got off our bus and took another one to go to another, bigger mall at the 'very edge' off the city. When we arrived we looked around and found many shops we don't have at home, so that was fun for us. We spent some quality and fun time with Zoe and in a few hours head back to the city, where we made a quick stop at the art shop where Zoe had to buy some A2 papers for a project/homework she will start working on.





After the short art shop stop, we got on another bus and went to a grocery shop nearby where me and Nika bought a bit more stuff for our stay in Tartu. The shop prices are quite simillar to our at home, but still you can find some items that are pricier and some that are cheaper. 
And today we saw something strange aswell, they have milk in norma cartons like we do, but they also have milk in bags- it was a first for both of us. Also products like sour cream and yoghurt were in some cases in bags.
When we bought all the things we needed, we went on the bus back home, said bye to Zoe and got home. At home we made late lunch/dinner, ate it, watched some Estonian TV programs and some movies online and went to bed.


See you tomorrow,
