Europe and Asia- like 2 different worlds.

The living style is different, food, people, building, manners- everything!

I’m really scared, cause i have no idea how will it be for me- a lot of big houses for a little estonian girl!? How will eating with chopsticks be!? Who are these chinese people!? How do they think!? How are their manners!? How will the food they eat look!?

I want to get answers to these questions!

China has a lot of historical memories. (I’m really interested in seeing them!) They have made a lot of things, which we still use today. For example the clock, fireworks, paper, silk and more.

I’ve seen that big country only on maps, I’ve never dreamed about going there, cause its quite impossible for us (Estonians). I mean.. of course we have travel agencies here that organize these trips, but they are really expensive, with this money i can go to Egypt 5 times.

When I heard about this competition (WMSG), I made it to be my dream. Every day I was wishing to go there. There is a saying ‘believe in yourself and u can do everything!’ So it is.. Now I have tickets which say that I’ll leave in 3 days!

The tournament is coming closer and closer. These last days are passing quicker and quicker.

I will tell u a sweet story about frogs before I finish:

Once there were a lot of frogs, who all wanted to get to the top of the tower. There were a lot of people watching that and cheering the frogs. But no-one believed that any of them could reach the top of the tower. The competition began.. People were shouting from different sides ’’u can’t do it’’, ’’it’s too hard for you’’ and ’’you’re too little to do that’’.

Some of the frogs stopped, some of them were bravely moving on.. People were still shouting ’’it’s too hard, u can’t do it’’ Then another group of frogs stopped, finally there were only 3 frogs moving on.. People were still shouting different sentences.. Another 2 fell out.

Finally there was only one poor frog continuing. That little one got on the top of the tower. The other frogs were really amazed and one of them went to ask how did he do that.. And guess what the answer was!? Nothing! Cause he was deaf!

I think u all understood what i wanted to say with that.. Believe in yourself and don’t listen to others who don’t believe in you!

I wish good luck to all the players and keep thinking that if u give 100% then u can achieve success! Know that there is always someone who also supports your doings, someone who really believes in you! Even if he or she is 10,000 km far away!

For the non-players - don’t forget to keep your fingers crossed for your favourites!
