August in Lithuania

Check out Refik's experiences as he fullfills his 4th month in Lithuania!

I started August with nice events. First, we organized a Turkish culture event and presented traditional Turkish dishes, showed traditional dances and made a nice interactive presentation about Turkey.

Then we attended the youth camp held in Kretinga. So, even though it rained all the time for three days or I tried to sleep in the tent in the cold at night, it was a very enjoyable experience for me. At the same time, the activities and games we did were also fun. I met new people. I have accumulated good memories.

We organized a Hawaii day event, an award-winning volleyball tournament, various competitions, new games and more. As the weather was hot, of course I did not forget to swim. I swam almost every day. We did SUP with Ayhan and it was very enjoyable. From time to time I just went for a walk and listened to myself.

And towards the end of August there was the Baltic States walking event.

I remember running about 10 km. It was tiring but worth it. Of course, I don't forget to play football every week. It has become a routine now. We continue to play football in the stadium every Tuesday. Even though I feel lonely at times, I'm actually happy to be here. See you next month..
