Today I had an event for one of my courses: get Finternational. We went to the VocationalInstitutee of Turku to bake some traditional Finnish food and it was really interesting! We cooked three different things: rye loaf, karelian pasties, Finnish cinnamon rolls. We were in groups and cooked all of them. I started with Karelian pasties (and also I would say that they were my favourites) and it has a technique for doing the size but we tried several times and I can say that I know how to do it (it doesn´t mean that I do it well). Then we put them in the oven and after that, you have to brush them with butter and wait and it´s done! It was new for me the fact that we eat them with scrambled eggs on top, and it´s so much good with it. We also mash the dough of the bread (rye load), it was very difficult to get the good size; but this was the one I didn´t like so much, because I usually don’t eat this type of bread, it´s such different of the one from my country. After that, we made the Finnish cinnamon rolls, and they are also very good, they needed more time to be ready but I was worthy because they are delicious! I found this event very interesting and tasty! After cooking everything we could taste everything and bring some of them to our home and to share with other exchange students friends; and also we asked for the recipe so now we can make them!
Vappu is the most important student party in Turku (and in Finland, I think), the main day is the first of May, but this week there were a lot of events going on. And the best part is the weather because there was incredible weather, so everything was better. Also, I was sad because at least two events were cancelled, and one of them was really interesting for me, even my tutor had suggested it :( So, this week I have Lost in Turku (last post), then this event which was cancelled, but I cooked tortilla with some friends and then we went to play pool, another day we went to the river just to drink and chill and it was really nice, there was an attraction park also (I didn´t have entrance) but we went to see how it was and it was very crowded and after that I went to a concert of Finnish bands and then I went out. There is also an event today and then next week is coming with a lot of parties and the Vappu day! Finally people are in the streets!!
