LITHUANIA

When I was in high school,we went to Lithuania via the Comenious Project.Our teachers were interested in the project,they encouraged us to go.The pirincipal selected three or four students in each class. On 28th march,we firstly went to İstanbul by bus.We arrived in airport and then we went on plane.
After the 3-hour-journey,we saw there.When we came in their airport the students and their teachers met us.I met the girl with whom I would stay in home for 10 days.It was Egle,at the same age with us.
The next day,we began to travell.They brought us to their school.It was very big and beautiful.In theır system not the teachers but the students change the class.Now that each teacher has own class.
We went to Trakai.It was the place where the Turks lived in times.There was a castle ın the mıddle of a lake.It used to belong to Turks of that time.Moreover we travelled some museums.
The city center is divided into two part.One part is called Old Lithuania and the other is New Lithuania.In Old Lithuania,there were a lot of churches.In New Lithuania part,there were a lot of new buldings usually used for bussiness.
We went to ice-skying.I had done it for the first time in my life so I fell down several times and everybody laughed at me.Then we went to ride horse.It was also very enjoyful.
When we were there,we had difficulty in finding food.It was very difficult to eat food good for us.As you know they consume pork a lot,we always went to MC Donald's to eat chicken.I remember drinking "macoroni soup" in the house.
Our travell lasted ten days.We enjoyed it a lot.But it is impossible to tell everything here.We got really happy to have gone there.It is very good to know new cultures.
