Last Thursday, with a Get Finternational event, we were visiting an elderly home, near Potsa, but the day was a real winter day, so maybe not the best day to walk with the old people outside. Anyway, we were to help old people to take a walk outside, because sometimes there are not enough people to carry them, so we enjoy their company. Physiotherapists of the centre had planned an activity outside, so we made it; we had to look for different places which were represented in pictures we had and then write the letters on the paper and guess the sentence or the word. There were five pictures so we walked for a few minutes with them and it was nice. The sad thing was that most of them didn´t know English, so it was a bit quiet sometimes. It was snowing and it was cold so I lent my gloves to the man I was with and it was really funny to see him with my small gloves. When we finish we discovered the sentence, the meaning was "you are lovely" or something like this, obviously in Finnish. After that, we ate the typical roasted sausages and juice. It was really short because of the bad weather but it was a beautiful experience for everyone. I believe that is really good for young people to spend time with old people because you can learn a lot of things about life, and they usually are very grateful to have young people listening.
I have more days here in Turku, but a lot of people started leaving and it´s sad because you realize that the end is coming, and we have to don´t waste our last month (less than one month..) here, I have a lot of things that I want to do before leaving so I´m doing a list with one friend to don´t miss anything. In one hand I want to go home because I miss my family, friends, the good weather (the sun mostly), and the food of course, also the lifestyle, but...on the other hand I don´t want to leave at all!! Here I can live my life, I met new people, I´ve learnt about other cultures, other meals, other customs, and I am happy here, I know I will miss a lot of things when I go home. I will miss the friends I made here, of course, I will miss Unica restaurants (at home I have to cook every day), I will miss the landscapes and the peace you can feel here, I will miss the safety, I will miss my room and the city, and being discovering and travelling.. I have one more trip before leaving, I´m...
