In the morning we started with the presentation of Lithuanian potato
dishes. For the German people it was
interesting to know about cepelinai, Semogitian pancakes or potato sausvages.
Then we spoke about the influence of the food of cultural minorities‘ in
Lithuania on the Lithuanian cuisine. Our German guests had heard neither about
kybyns nor cheburekki. Then our friends for the first time cooked zeppelins with us and tasted them. We were
surprised that they liked them pretty much.
Later we went to Pyplių farm to learn to bake traditional
Lithuanian bread. Not only did we learn to make the bread, but also heard a wide
variety of stories about it. We also saw some authentic ancient tools, such as
antique irons, oil lamps, mills... But
the most pleasant thing was the smell of the bread that we baked. We couldn‘t
help eating it hot though we were told that it‘s not very good for our stomach.
Besides, there was no time to wait till it cools as we had to go back to school
to prepare for the Cultural party in the
evening. Goda Šimkutė
The
Cultural party was one of the most memorable events of March 20th.
It all started very simply: students sat down in the school hall and listened
to our choral songs, watched three 11th graders’ dances and listened
to two students’ from progymnasium instrumental performance. Later our German
guests made a surprise for us and sang a very nice German song. Then their
teacher Adam sang one more beautiful song in English. There was a storm of
applause after that.
During the
second part of the party three professional folklore specialists conducted the
event in Lithuanian folk theme. We were very tired from various circles and
games, but had real fun there. When we already thought that the celebration was
slowly coming to the end, the eleventh form students turned on some loud music
and started to invite everyone to dance. Although it seemed we had no strength,
but managed to get up from the chairs and move again. We had to open the hall windows
and the doors because it was incredibly hot. Everyone enjoyed the evening party!
