Overall

I think I haven´t talked about overalls yet. It´s one of the first things I learn at university, and I found it very funny and a creative idea. Here, university students have overalls (you can also buy one, it´s around 25€), the colour of the overall depends on the degree you are studying, they wear it at parties and events. The funny thing of this is that they have to "collect" patches for it, you can get patches in events, mostly in parties, in some university workshops, etc. Also, you can buy them at universities or some shops, even there is a kind of flea market on the internet where you can buy them!
Personally, I don´t have the overalls because I don´t see me with it but I really like the people with it, I think that it´s a funny idea and you have a lot of memories on it. Anyway, I am collecting them because I think that is a good memory and I´m thinking of sewing them in some clothes when I go home.

Curling

I want to write about my curling experience. Yesterday evening I went to an ESN event which consisted of playing curling. I was wondering how it would be, and now I can say that it was funny. As the man who works there said, it´s easy to know how to play but it´s difficult to play it well! Curling is played in an ice "field", we went to the Turku Arena oy. The bad thing is that I was really cold because I forgot to wear more than one lyer and it was 5º, and I thought that we will be tired or warm because we were playing sport, but that is not the truth. I have to say that I wasn´t so bad, I learnt quickly how to play, although when we were playing in teams I was really bad because I trough it very strong and it went further the circles where you have to put it. I think it´s a good experience to practice once in life, but I think I will not repeat because two hours of it is maybe too much, however, I recommend it! But you have to know that today I have two bruises in my knee...

Alcohol

I have to dedicate one post to the alcohol because it´s really expensive here! First of all, you can´t buy "hard" alcohol at the supermarket, as you can in Spain. Here, at the supermarket, you only can buy some beers or cider (maximum 5% of alcohol) but nothing else. So, if you want to buy wine, vodka, gin, or beers with more % of alcohol you have to go to a specific shop, called Alko, they are near supermarkets normally, and for example, in Turku city centre there are two. But, remember this: if you want to buy alcohol you have to show your ID card, but also the people who go with you have to show it (one time I went with a friend but it was me the one who was buying and I couldn´t because she didn´t have it). They say that they do it to have control of the alcohol, but they don´t count the consuming of each person or something, it´s just a different shop because it´s from the Government so it earns money with that. Furthermore, they have another restriction, if you are 18...

Vappu II

Today I want to talk about the Vappu day because now I lived the experience. It was a wonderful day, everyone was in the streets and Turku was very crowded. The 30th of May is celebrated this 'party', but it´s also funny because is not just university people, but also families and old people. They were wearing a white cap, they get this cup when they graduated at university, and since year every year they wear it on this day and the 1st of May, and they feel very proud wearing it. It was very impressive seeing the old people with their old caps. In the morning there´s free punch at university (University of Turku mostly) and there are different stands from different organizations or degrees offering this punch (I have to say that one of them were really good, but others...), you only have to take your own cup and then you can take punch as much as you want. It´s a very good way to start the day. Also, there was a band playing some music and free balloons and some staff. After ...
