The very last part of our meeting was the farewell evening on Sunday. To end the meeting officially we had the "International Dinner" for which every country had prepared something for the menu. We had a colourful mix of different Spanish and Polish finger food, Polish candy, Finnish reindeer meat, mushrooms, smashed potatoes and German sweet rice porridge with cherries.
Everybody dressed up and the room was decorated, so the dinner could start. Everything was soo delicious and everybody ate too much. The atmosphere was very excited.
Before the dessert one of the highlights of the whole week took place: The secret friend presents were handed over and the secrets were no longer secrets. This were moments of big surprises, tears, never-ending smiles, joy, happiness, sadness and excitement.
The country groups also had presents for Eija and the Finnish group and the leaders got something from Eija too. After all those presents, the dessert and some partying everything became calm and melancholic and some of the people stayed awake until our departure at 5 o'clock. We enjoyed the night without darkness and the last hours with our new friends from all over Europe.
