NATIONAL EVENING
WORKSHOP WATCH
HIGHLIGHT
Umbrella took a stroll during the day off to see the progress of the ever ambitious Highlight team. With no time to waste the tutors were onsite working on the 10 metre tower which is starting to take place. It is hard to imagine the scale until you see it up close, so go an check on the progress. Walk to the lighthouse, take the right hand path, then turn right on the next path you reach.

NATIONAL EVENING this year felt greater
than ever before. The energy from the very beginning was electric as overexcited creatures covered in glitter, paint and swathes of tinfoil lined up their nations best drinks and snacks. But what did we learn from each other? Each person tells a different tale. Amongst the highlights were having a drink from a Slovenian cow’s udder, sneaking into a Lithuanian forest, paddling pools at Malta, delicious vodka of Poland, marriage at Moldova, photobombing Belarus, Bang! Squirt unicorn juice and many many more! There were some sober eyes on the scene who have mentioned that sudden switch in atmosphere between tentativeness to lunacy. We could all feel it too, especially as the alcohol started to produce couples in every corner of the bar. Until next year... “It started like a village fair and within 10 minutes it became a pornographic version of eurovision, absolute chaos.”
EXCURSION TO KLAIPĖDA
After a long and drunken national evening some of the toughest EASians decided to get up at the tough time of 9am to get on the bus to Klaipėda, the third largest city in Lithuania, the capital of Klaipeda County and the country’s main port. Among the brave ones were some guys from team Montenegro. They told us that locals and hosts were really hospitable, they opened the Museum of Minor Lithuanian History that was actually closed that day especially for them. The curator of the museum was trying hard to explain everything but some of the participants were a bit tired. However, the walk along the river was very pleasant although they accidentally got separated from the group. Fortunately they found each other by the time of lunch that they enjoyed together. Yummy! Note: If you’re searching for new brilliant ideas or your wishes to come true find a magic mouse for ideas and magic cat for wishes...they’re, not too far away, somewhere in Klaipeda!

SCHELP
Come on baby light my fire! Looks like the cosy love seats are formed and ready to use, Schelp has a relaxing few days ahead of them.
Our teams are NASA India & CLEA Latin America and together we are going to make a bunch of appetizers that we decided to call "Tikka Tortilla". It will be a South American tortilla topped with small pieces of vegetables and coated cheese who were marinated in a spice mixture based on yogurt. The process is called "Tikka". All the recipes and ingredients will be published in our final booklet :)
