EXPERIENCE IN FINLAND. THE PROTAGONISTS

THE PROTAGONISTS

• My experience of Finland was so good. It was the first time that I made an Erasmus and sincerely I like a lot this experience and I hope that I can repeat again. I think is a good way to learn english and in the same time meet new people, because in my time in Finland I met a lot of people of different countries that I never think that I meet and I became good friends with all of them. I think if you have this opportunity you have to try to make it because is a new experience and I think that you never regret of try to do this. When you are there you spent a lot of very good moments because you visit a new country and meet a lot of different people. When I was there I feel very comfortable with the family that I was there because they treated to me like if I was one of them and with the girl that I was hosted we became very good friends. If I have another time the opportunity to have this experience again I will repeat again because it was the best experience that I never have. I think if you have this kind of opportunity you have to take advantage because maybe you will not have it again.

• I think going to Finland was a very good and nice experience because I learned a new and very diffrent culture, I met friendly people and I learned some finnish words too. I felt very comfortable with my finnish family because they were very nice with me and they showed me many beautiful places in Finland and many finnish traditions too. And finally I have to say that I got on very well with my host, Emilia. I had a lot of fun during that trip. I think we can not let go these opportunities because not everybody can do that.

• The stay in Finland it was amazing. The first three days we stayed in the capital, Helsinki, we saw the most important and beautiful things of this place. We saw the Senators square, the Orthodox cathedral, the Lutheran cathedral, the port, the streets...and the snow.The Sunday we went to the airport of Kuopio and then with a bus to Nurmes, there all the families waited for us. All the week we made a lot of activities: we cook, we made wooden utensils , we fish in the frozen lake... In the afternoon we went every day to a house to do a a party with all the friends.Finland is very different than Spain, for example they eat at 10:30 of the morning and they have dinner at 17:00h of the morning, for us is very early. The country in winter is very cold (-20°,-40°..) and in Mallorca in winter isn't "could" (15°,5°...) and there they have snow all the winter and here one time every three or four years. Then, the summer in Finland is like the spring in Mallorca. Finland and Spain are very different. Well, the last day we made a party in the school, and we danced all the afternoon we danced in groups, in pairs, rock songs , finish pop, slow songs, we ate a lot...There, in Nurmes, we meet a lot of people and friends, it was a very friendly, cold and beautiful experience and I want to do again in the future.Thanks for all Nurmes!

• This trip I found with differents customs in Finland, for example: Remove the shoes in the houses, schools... lunch at 10.00 and dinner at 16.00, after the sauna go to the snow, and others. We did differents activities : ice fishing, spend a day of survival in the woods, play sleigh, etc. I liked to met people from different countries, enjoy all the snow landscapes and learn more english. In conclusion, I think it was a very good experience that is not easy to repeat!

• Traveled to Finland was an amazing experience. I liked so much stay in Finland specially in Nurmes because its a very beautiful place and the people that we met were amazing. One of the thinks that I liked more was the weather because is so different to the weather that we have in Mallorca and this allowed us to make things that we can't do in Mallorca. I liked it so much and I hope we can repeat that experience in the future.
