Last full day in Finland

Our last full day in Finland has already started. Tomorrow we will start our way back home. Today we will go shopping for the last time, pack our stuff together and in the evening a friend is coming to say goodbye. Time went really fast the last days, but we are also looking forward to see everyone back home.

Saying Goodbye to Our Friendship Family

Today we said goodbye to our Finnish Friendship Family. For our last meeting we got some Turkish-Finnish kebab. Double meat, i.e. about 1.7kg each of the two kebab rolls … It’s been nice to get to know the four of them and to spend some time discovering Finland aside from all the exchange student stuff. Even though we didn’t make it to the cottage while we were here, we are looking forward to the next meeting, e.g. in Germany?

Greetings and thanks to our friendship family – and take good care of my cactus 😉

Weather differences

Hi all,
we had an exam this morning, but beside this the day was really nice :).
Blue sky, sunshine and nearly 20°C and that in Finland, isn’t it great? We had our first lunch outside in the sun today and we didn’t freeze at all!

But I have to say the spring here is different than in Germany. While my mum was telling me that she has already eaten strawberries from our backyard, the trees here in Turku are just starting to get green. But anyway, it is nice to also experience a little bit of the spring here in Finland.
