Student Exchange 2018: Werther- Kanepi

First I did not know anything about Estonia. Now I know that here it is very cold and windy but the landscape is very beautiful. I did not expect that the Kanepi Gümnaasium has that less students because in Germany our school is smaller but we have a lot more students.

The people in Kanepi are very friendly and when they know that you do not speak Estonian, they try to explain it in English or maybe with gestures and sometimes this is very funny. Estonians try to help every time and they want only the others.

In Estonia and Germany are differences, for example the weather, in Germany we do not have as much snow as in Estonia and I am happy about that because I really do not like snow. Similar is the food, I ate the same food as in Germany and in the supermarket there are very many things we also have in Germany, but I saw that in Estonia sweets are very expensive.

All in all I can say that the week in Estonia was very cool with very cool people and this was in great experience.
