4 week in Jurmala

Last weekend we went home. By bus it takes 4 hours from Riga to Tartu. It´s quite long trip in view of that in the bus it is a little bit narrow. Anyway the price is quite reasonable for this trip (by train it´s more cheaper), with the same amount of the price we can take a trip in Estonia from Tartu to Tallinn. So we arrived to the laboratory and the first question what our instructor Irina asked from us: ``Do you still remember that we have tonight a trip by discobus ``???!!! Of course we remembered that, how can we forget :) After that we were teached by a doctor to observe blood preparates under the microscope, finishing that day in laboratory we went by train as usually to the dormitory to do preparations for the night. This evening was unforgettable. Suddenly there was a big bus in front of our dormitory and the music which played there was really loud...I guess it sounds to everyone around 100m. We stepped in and voila....the party starts. There were 5 laborant technicians from Paula Stradina hospital. Our route took us to the beach of Jurmala and we saw a big turtle there...it was funny, everyone tried to clime on that turtle :) After that, we went to see Daugava, Lido and the most important Riga on nigt lights. All stopping places were amazing where we took a lot of beautiful photos and also found out about Latvian history. The old town of Riga was really really nice with all these night lights....we enyojed that a lot. In the bus was playing music and the bus owner was also there as a DJ. Incredible night we had and that all thanks to our amazing instructor IRINA :) Other days were pretty much usual...dormitory-laboratory. Unfortunately our time in Clinical Laboratory ended at the end of the week. To show how grateful we are...we made by ourselves a diploma also nice posy of flowers and of course a cake. In fact, it´s impossible to describe all the warmth, kindness and of course professional, experienced by the past four weeks we were there.
