Mina olen Tallinnas

Hey there,

So my year in Tallinn finally started. It was a long wait and now is the moment I have to dive in my new life abroad. I am very tired and I won`t write much since I am just arrived at Tallinn. I`ve found a great shared flat near the old town, with very adorable estonian roommates and everything important available (like supermarkets and public transport, which I will seldom really need because I just have to walk 10 minutes to everything)
I 've found the flat by posting a request at the Facebook Erasmus group, because it is hard to find a good offer via the real estate firms here.
I highly enjoyed the last days with my energetic and funny language teacher Vilma and all my international classmates.
 So now I just give you some first impressions of beautyfull Tallinn.

World Skills Leipzig 2013

Almost two weeks ago I was at a very important event in Leipzig. The World Skills 2013. What was important about them? What  IS World Skills???? I hear you asking.

The World Skills are like the olympics for the professions (especially crafts). The best trainees from 56 countrys have to compete in 46 skills/professions within a week. The World Skills, are held every two years in one of the 56 countrys. In addition there are a lot of other events like partys, career guidance for those who seek to choose a profession and a lot of "try it yourself" things. The whole event is a huge opportunity for firms, trainees and countrys to network and show the newest and best techniques and skills and it helps to give the certain crafts and profession a reputation. I went to the event as "just" a visitor but I had so much fun and it was very interesting to meet skilled people from all over the world and get to know some new professions or to fell in love again with some old crafts I loved as a teeny.
