Day 8: Time is just "flying"

Today was the last day of the management event we were filming so it was time to capture our last shots and wrap everything up.

Origami tulips I helped to make.

I also found out today that me and my team won a part of the city orientation game for completing most of the photos and we were given true Valmierian cookies!

The title of this blog post is actually a play on words. The winning team of students for the overall event were given a very special prize: a trip over Valmiera in a hot air balloon. We had to go along to film it being set up and taking off. I've always wondered how hot air balloon were blown up! It was amazing to see them take off and I did feel a hint of jealousy. It did start to give me ideas for my 19th birthday that I will be celebrating out here... anyone want to join me for a balloon ride in Latvia?

So this is how they do it!

Although we said our official goodbyes, more were to come later on. We decided to check out a local bar called "Chill Inn". It started off really well, good company, good music. But then a Estonian band called Emerald came on stage and performed. Let's just say screaming down the microphone and head-banging without hair is not my kind of thing. We decided to move on to another club which I'm glad to say was much better and much more me!

No baggage fees here!

Now I have the weekend to relax before we start editing the film next week.
