Shake it on the dance floor :)

        Day 3 started in the morning, same like the two before. We continued with the session from yesterday regarding the innovations in tourism. We had a really great teacher who teached us in a really interesting and relaxed way how to develop an innovative idea and make it real. 

        Today was also a big day for each country. It's because we had to prepare the presentations of our country’s and of course that everybody wanted to do their best to promote their country in the best way. 

        We were organized in 5 groups and each group had a classroom for their presentation. So it was like we were travelling from country to country. First we visited Slovenia, our hosts, which did their job very well and presented us an authentic traditional dance with the professional performers. They raised the atmosphere to the top when they invited us to join them. Then we moved to Portugal, the country which I'm so in love with. I love their language, I love their culture and the beautiful fado songs. After their presentation I'm convinced that one day I will visit for sure Portugal. 

        After Portugal it was time for Estonia. The guys offered us their traditional drinks, beers and chocolates. It's also very interesting that they are drinking some kind of a smoothie with sour milk. It also has a taste of cereals so firstly we thought that they drink this in the morning for breakfast but as they told me it's a popular drink during summer. 

        Croatia's turn was after the beautiful Estonia. We shoved our friends traditional dance Linđo and promoted our country with typical cuisine from whole of the Croatia like čvarki, kulen, inćuni, bakalar etc. Since all the brochures were gone after the presentation I'm pretty sure that we interested some people to visit our country and provided some interesting information. 

    Dutch students made an effort to show their country in a very special way. First they explained why they are not calling their country Holland, but the Dutch. They introduced Netherlands through fiction show in which they presented interesting facts about their country. One of the things that has attracted the attention of all of us is their presentation of cannabis and magic mushrooms. Apparently, they have some cool bars where you pick a portion depending on how long you want to be in a good mood.

        In the end we can conclude that the international evenings are the best thing of all summer schools because meeting other cultures, trying typical products and dances are the best way to expand the knowledge and meet new friends.
