Tampere

Last Saturday I went to Tampere with ESN, the trip was visiting the Moomin museum in the morning and then free time to see Tampere and we came back Turku at night. The day wasn´t the better because it was snowing very hard, but around p.m it stopped and we could enjoy more the visit. I have to say that I don´t like the museum, it was a bit boring and quite small, but there was an activity really cool to do there, we made our drawing of Moomin (or whatever we want to draw), we paint the sheet with blue or black paint and then we draw over it with a pencil, toothpick, cotton swab, etc.. After that we had to wait while it dries, and we had to dry another special sheet to print on it. The last step was to print it in a machine and we had our drawings! I think it´s a nice memory. 
Then, we went to a student canteen (because it´s just 2.6 €) and we started walking around the city. It´s not a really beautiful city but it´s okay to visit. The point I don´t like about it is that it´s an industrial city with factories and that is not beautiful. We also went to a Pyynikki, and I recommend going there because it´s in the middle of the forest and you can enjoy the views, and also with good weather it has to be so nice to take a drink with friends there. And if you go there you have to try the Munkki, it´s like a doughnut with a lot of glass and something black inside, but it´s delicious!
Furthermore, you have to go to Torni hotel, because it´s really high and you can go free and see all the city, there´s also a bar in the top floor, but it´s expensive for me!

Riga

When I posted about Tallinn I didn´t say anything about Riga, so as it was part of the trip I would like to talk about it for a bit. We only spent one day there so maybe it´s better to have a couple of days to visit it better, but it wasn´t my favourite place to visit. I like it but it wasn´t special for me, although I have to say that it was very cold and we were a lot of hours in the street and also a woman tried to rob me, so maybe I can not be totally objective with my opinion. The free tour we made was interesting because it was a bit different, we went to places which are not popular and touristic, and I really like doing this kind of things when I travel. Riga is not a really big city but if you want to visit different places and not just the touristic area I think you will need more than one day. There are a lot of buildings which are worthy to see, at least from outside, different churches and other kind of buildings. For me, people were really different from Finland and a...

Cultural differences

Yesterday I had class and we were discussing the bad behaviours and the "ugly" topics that we have in our country compare with the ones they have here, in Finland. It was funny because I said that in Spain you can talk about every topic you want, you are in public transport and you can listen to conversations about politics, religion, clothes, sexuality, weather, trips, etc. obviously depends on the person but you can talk mostly about everything; and people from other countries were really surprised by that,  for example, in Finland is not polite to talk about money, it´s an annoying topic for them. And I think that in Spain we are more open-minded than here. It´s funny to find so many differences between countries, also they said in the class that it´s really unpolite if you speak loud on the bus, and in Spain, everyone is talking quite loud. One girl also told me that when she went to Tenerife, she was waiting for the bus and the people who were waiting also were really c...

Safety

I want to make a post about safety in this country because I feel that it´s a really safe place to live. I can talk about different examples that prove this theory. I have to say that Spain is a safe country, but nowadays the night is harder and harder for women when we have to go home, and that´s a pity. One of the first things that surprised me was that here there are a lot of coat racks at universities and other buildings, where people leave their coats for hours or the whole day and none take them, so everyone does it and it´s really useful, but I think that Spain some coats or scarfs will disappear. Another surprising thing is that in some monuments or touristic entries you buy the ticket but none take it, so none ask for it so you could go without paying anything (in Spain everyone will enter without pay), Finnish people really trust in others. Something that is amazing for me is the fact that cars stop when you are waiting, although you are not in the right place (crosswa...
