| 24th May 2009 Rachel | - From: Mexican food night with friends haha who cares if somethings burnt, they dont know;) Miss you girly! |
| 24th May 2009 Rachel | - From: New host house... two months ago. WOW all of that looks really great Baby-B!!:) |
| 23rd May 2009 MISHA of NM | - From: New host house... two months ago. :D That sounds awesome! Congrats Byrk! Yay xD your Estonian got better<3 oh and school let out? What are your plans for summer? 0= |
| 9th April 2009 MISHA of NM | =D - From: And the seagull cried, "Nevermore". My mom and I cracked up while reading this! XD You're so funny Byrk. Anyways, that sounds really fun. D= I wish it would snow here. Oh, and how many other exchange students are in the school? Do a lot of Estonians speak English? |
| 1st April 2009 keete | - From: And the seagull cried, "Nevermore". Thank you, Byrklei! Your writing about Saaremaa (my home) was a really interesting, funny and honest reading. It kinda made me thinking about the real life we're living here. It's just something we don't see from other side, cause we're in it. And even if I get the feeling that you haven't seen the best part (time) of Saaremaa jet, you sure see things with open eyes. So... till next time and better time! Btw, you are a writer! :) |
| 20th March 2009 Rachel | - From: I laugh at Spring Cleaning! How awesome it is to see all that!! I can only imagine the feel in those buildings:):) |
| 23rd February 2009 Rachel | - From: To ski or not to ski That sounds great Berk!! Im glad you enjoyed those ankle breaking boots;) |
| 19th January 2009 Rachel | - From: On an island in the sun... sometimes. aahh that sounds really fun and Im glad you are trying something new. You never know what you will get interested in! You go girl! :) |
| 12th January 2009 Heather | - From: The Christmas Eve, The New Years Eve, and an update Dang I miss you! This new years was dead. Misha was at a party, Nick in New York, and me sitting on the couch doing nothing. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I'm going to be sending your gifts soon... well hopefully... you know me... lol |
| 31st December 2008 sloan | Tsau - From: I made it to my host families house! So you have learned the language. Fabulous. I'm sure it was difficult. But what have you learned about the differences in our societies? I imagine that the Estonian elders were quite suppressed when the country was part of the USSR...do you think that is right? When I went to Hungary, a former soviet block country, I was absolutely SHOCKED to learn that many people were sorry that the iron curtain fell. That was theretofore unconceivable to me so I really wonder what the Estonians think. What customs do they have that you think are strange? Thanks for corresponding with me. Love, Sloan |
| 14th December 2008 Elaine | - From: Ma Armastan Lappi!! I am so jealous. But hod could you eat the poor things and then feed them like a pet. JK love you and glad you finally got to post |
| 13th December 2008 Rachel | - From: Ma Armastan Lappi!! Yay!! all of that sounds amazingly fun!! I bet those 4 days were the best pick-me-up huh? I hope your printing all those pics I know we will all be looking through them, and gasping away like we air climbing a mountain, at Flying Star in 6 months!!:) |
| 19th November 2008 elaine | NJ and NY and the clock tower - From: Tuesday edition surved up on Wednesday. The clock on the building made me think of the clock in back to the future, just a random thought but the town is very pretty. Staying in NJ is SCARY and it takes a bit longer then 1/2 hour to get to Ny from NJ. You can find really good deals in NY and in Manhatten you just can't afford to stay near times square, central park or broadway. Regardless, save up and stay there anyway it is so very worth it! giggle like i know what I am talking about |
| 19th November 2008 elaine | cats at play - From: Minu kass. My cat. if you think she likes foil you should try a bread twisty (don't know if you have those there), Lexies cat chases them all over the house and actually plays fetch with you and them. Now that we are in the house together Xavier and Cedar chase each other all over the place including jumping on and over furniture, chewing on each others tails and throats, it is a riot. we miss you kid hope to see you soon on Skype! |
| 18th November 2008 Michelle | Sausage! - From: Epic entry!!! So we all want to know - if there is a buffet of food and you can choose things to eat... will you eat blood sausage again? I am not asking about a meal at a Rotary home where it is all that is being served, will you choose to eat it again? I am glad you are ready for the snow! |
| 17th November 2008 Tinkerbelle | - From: Minu kass. My cat. A Cat! Favorite Host Cat...you covered yourself. CAT..not animal. Good Job! We all know yoru favorite host Dog is me!

Hold on, the first turn leads to the tallest and slowest climb. I look forward to reading about each twist and turn. Enjoy, learn and HAVE FUN!!! :-) |
| 17th August 2008 Piret | - From: I made it to my host families house! that's sort of freakishly cute that your estonian friends teached you that the word good-bye means in estonian "tsau". i mean, of course it does, everybody uses it but it's actually a slang word, meaning nothing at all in literary Estonian. ah, nevermind. .) you're american? must me tough here in estonia, we're known for cold and angsty people and reticence. anyhow, best of luck and be strong (, Piret, a girl from Tartu (who discovered your blog accidentally and is not sure she should be reading it) |

| 14th August 2008 Larry | You're Killing Me! - From: Bored. Finally. Hahahahahaha You start of with "total boredom" and then proceed to explain all of the adventures you are having and your fascination for everything new... Doesn't sound like Webster's definition of bored to me! Hope you can find a Cello. I'm sure that Lea would enjoy a little music around the place... "Keep you blogging going, get out on the net, tell us your adventures, and pics along the way".... Hahahahahahaha |
| 12th August 2008 Heater | - From: I made it to my host families house! Yay!!!! I miss you so badly!!! I envy you so mush right now! I can't wait to go to Germany!
