The first week off to Tallinn
Monday, 02/08/2010
The Monday was relatively uneventful. The only productive was the opening a bank account. But the way there already a story is worth. Since John had litausch class, I tried only the large shopping center in Panevezys (Babilonas) to find. I was looking in every direction and despite a good description of the failed company. 14h I had an appointment with John in the city center. So I took the bus shortly before two in the center. Unfortunately I did not know which stop I had to get off. I picked some that seemed close to center. That was wrong of course. I was somewhere in the city. That was not the center. I followed the bus for a while and was happy at the center. The bus stop where I with John had an appointment, I was of course not. Thus passed a search operation going on, I have never experienced. About an hour I wandered through the town and searched the station and John. Making matters worse, my phone battery was empty. In such situations comes together everything. Suddenly I saw John at Iki and ran after him. Then he was swallowed by the earth. Re looking for. Slowly, my confidence evaporated. I decided to wait in one place. See there. The tactic was successful. After 10 minutes I heard that I know of, "Labas". Finally found. The Clock was at quarter to four. We went to the bank and there was a bureaucratic marathon, which is impressive even in Germany. Then there was or language problems. To make matters worse, it starts from the printer and I was a total of three quarters of an hour in the bank. The day ended uneventfully from.

I went with Hannah to the library and looked at me, what he drives uttered them. The answer? Not much. He is responsible for Keep the fun for children. Unfortunately, the children came only because of the PCs in the library. This had to learn including me. I played with Thomas (8) and his little sister Egle (6) lady. Suddenly, the focus on both to let me sit and play computer. Strange feeling. After the library nothing happened.

now it should be ready. The Krekenava first time. 11am we went to Alma went to a parking lot near Panevezys and from there it continues with Roberto. Both are super nice. Alma is a little German and some English, Roberto. Both tried to understand us. This is not a matter of course. On the way I saw for the first time in my life bison in the wild. The feeling was indescribable. Once in the directorate of the park, we were warmly welcomed by all and it was time for a brunch. Ramon and I had to try everything that was served. Everything was mega tasty. There was a lot of Lithuanian specialties. The staff tried to speak English and we promised them to learn Lithuanian. There again followed a bureaucratic marathon which consisted of health and safety. In between was time to take some pictures. After a hearty lunch, we had a city tour of Krekenava. The city has about 1,500 inhabitants and is very idyllic. I like them. Our guides were Roberto and Lina. Both of us tried to explain everything. When we returned from our little trip, it was a warm tea and a nice conversation. It was about different languages and dialects. After tea we went back to Panevezys. Tomorrow is our first real working day. It is with Roberto in the forest. What do we do? No idea. I have not seen Roberto. I'll tell you tomorrow.
Thursday, 11/02/2010 The first working day. There was a tree that toppled in the fall and fell into the lake. The lake was frozen, of course. However, we quickly came forward to third. Worked but only by 10-12. After that we made in school lunch and Roberto gave us to understand that we do not work anymore. One can not compare then with the morale in Germany. In the park there is no stress. True to the motto of doing. "What I net today, I am doing tomorrow.
arrived at school, there were the first Lithuanian delicacy. It is called the Zeppelin, and is filled with meat potato. Very tasty. Over dinner, I met for the first time on Julius. A kind of manager who goes to school. He still seems pretty cliché subject be. I hope that changes in the coming months. He is really nice and his English is good;.)
After dinner, there was a tea time and we drove back to Pane ....

The first week in Panevezys
due to the bad weather we could not finish our work the previous day. We had to shovel snow. Ramon made it just Fez. Then Robert Alman and went with Ramon and me into a bison reserve. These animals are truly impressive. Although the 17 Stumbras live here on the reservation, so there are still about 40 animals living in the wild. This is unique in Europe. After showing us the Stumbras Alma Roberto and an old bunker, in which Lithuanian partisans fought after WW II against the Soviet army. It was a very interesting trip in the Lithuanian history.
After the little trip we went back to school to eat. That day was a great celebration. The grade of Julius is 100 days before the tests. The riots and the preparations were in full swing. As if that burst is not enough to add two more foreigners for lunch in the middle of the preparation. I've never seen so many eyes harvested. It was funny. After dinner we went to Pane ... and I prepared myself for the short trip to Tallinn.
