Celebrating the Europe Day

We had decided with friends that we have to go and celebrate the Europe Day. But how to do it? I think the thought for that is found very nicely in the post about Tibet. Dalai-Lama has said: "Talk about the situation in Tibet. When more people know about Tibet, then more often one question is going to be asked: When Tibet is going to be free?"

Fortunately Europe is free, but we think that in this day, we should talk as much as we can about this event. What more we talk about it, then more we are going to realize that Europe is all around us. I hope that with today's little journey we have made at least some people to think about the EU.

So we labeled eachother with different things about the EU and Estonia. After that we went to the city and had a big tour, during this we wished everyone good Europe Day and we answered delighted all the questions, which came up.

Happy beginning.

The first people, who were interested why we are dressed like this. So we explained what we are celebrating. Those girls seemed to be very amused about us.

When we visited the library, then we saw my homeroom teacher. Europe boys brought to her face a beautiful smile.

Very interesting for us was talking with an old man, who had a slipover, which had big EU stars (mainly in the back). When he saw our cheerfulness, then he happily started a conversation with us and now we know that the differences between our generations aren't so big, as we could think. He said that in his generation he doesn't know a soul, who is against European Union.

When we started to go back, then we saw Kaarli's sister in the shop. In the beginning she was very frightened about us. But then we explained the goal of our dressing and message- to make people to think about the EU at least for a moment and at the same time announce that today is Europe Day.

The end.

In the evening ended our celebrations about the Europe Day. We were delighted to see clever smiles on the face of the people, when we wished them good Europe day. Nobody bristled at us even once and this was a big and positive experience.
