Visą naktį sekėme Saulę ir “keliavome” per šalis, kol 8:00 val. pasiekėme Lietuvą. Per naktį “aplankėme” daug valstybių ir tautų, kai kuriuose iš jų net šokome! Havajuose šokome Limbo, žaidėme viktoriną, skanavome havajietiškos mišrainės, ryžių pudingo ir havajietiško limonado. Mokykoje viešinti Europos solidarumo korpuso savanorė Anička įspūdingai papaskojo apie Vietnamą, darėme Vietnamo mokyklose įprastą rytinę mankštą, šokome tradicinį vietnamiečių “Sap” šokį. “Atvykus” į Indiją vienuoliktokės sušoko indišką šokį bei pavaišino visus tradicine indiška prieskonių arbata su pienu, o renginio dalyvių žinias apie Indiją patikrino viktorinoje. O pavargus nuo kelionių nuo miego vadavo stalo žaidimai.[EN]
At Kaunas Waldorf School, we traveled through time zones all night. We started the event at 8:00 PM. On the other side of the globe, it was a beautiful morning 🙂 We followed the Sun all night and “traveled” across the country until 8:00 AM “came back” to Lithuania. During the night, we “visited” many countries and nations, some of which we even danced! In Hawaii, we danced Limbo, played a quiz, tasted Hawaiian medley, rice pudding and Hawaiian lemonade. Anička, a volunteer from Europe Solidarity Corp, impressively told us about Vietnam, we did the usual morning exercise of a Vietnamese school, and danced the traditional Vietnamese “Sap” dance. Upon “arriving” in India, the eleventh graders danced an Indian dance and treated everyone to traditional Indian spiced tea with milk, and the participants of the event tested their knowledge about India in a quiz.
We also “traveled” around the world playing GeoGuessr 🙂 And when we were tired from traveling, board games kept us awake.
Lithuanian Geographical Society, thank you for “infecting” us with this initiative! 🙂
