Success story
by Victoria Akhchiyani
I want to tell my story about the place which impressed me the most. From the
buginning of program I thought it would be Tallinn. But I was wrong. The city,
which is called Pärnu - is famous as it’s beautiful and historic resort town with
sandy beaches and diverse cultural life.
I couldn’t even imagine that such a small town could
bring me so much joy and unforgettable memories. I
love it all. As I walked to the college I enjoyed the
little quiet streets and every tree and flower that grew
on the way. I kept taking pictures of streets and houses
because each one was unique. Walking down the streets, beach, parks. I couldn’t
stop. When I had several free minutes I went outside and breathed the smell of the
town. After the lectures when the sun shined, we were
swimming in the Sea or lying on the beach. In the
evening we went to the Restaurant or Café and tasted
national cuisine. Also it’s highly regarded health food.
We found a restaurant with environmentally products.
If was raining we went to Wellness Spa and enjoyed
treatments for face and body spent our times in different types of saunas and baths,
got different types of massage (stone massage, Tai massage) and my favorite
chocolate body wrap.
Don’t forget to visit attractions. There is a list of most
popular:
1. Red Tower, which is former prison tower. It was
named after the red bricks that used to cover its
exterior, but as they have not been restored, then the
tower you see today is white instead.
2. Kihnu Veeteed is a small island and a UNESCO
heritage site off of the coast. It has a unique culture
due to the past isolation and many women still wear the folk costume skirt as
everyday dress.
3. Tower Hall was onstructed in 1797 in classical style and first used as a dwelling.
Since 1839, the building housed the town hall.
4 Catherine Church – was built in 1768 by order of Empress Catherine II. The
Church is the richest in the baroque church in Estonia. The architecture of the
church has influenced the architecture of the other Orthodox churches Baltic.
At the end we felt exhausted but so excited. Sometimes me and my friends didn’t
sleep at all and we didn’t feel any tiredness. We were enjoying every moment
spent in Pärnu. You will enjoy every moment in Pärnu.
