Assarin Ullako

I wanted to dedicate one post to Assarin. Assarin is one of the students restaurants of Turku, I could say that it´s the most famous one and it´s the one I go the most. I talked in another post about the price, for being students we only have to pay 2.60€ and we have buffet of salad, rice and potatoes, water or milk and bread, and then we can choose between the hot meals, in Assarin normally there are 3-4 options to choose, and in the other restaurants there are usually less. In my opinion, Assarin has the best bread of all of them, they have a lot of types of bread and also butter, it´s really common here eating the bread with butter. Furthermore, there is always one type of fruit that you can take, the most common is probably banana, orange and apple. I find it a very good opportunity to eat varied at a good price. There is always at least one option of meat and one option of fish and vegetables. In this restaurant, there is also another part with three vegetarian options, so it´s really good for everyone. If you want dessert or coffee you have to pay more, but it´s still cheap.
It´s funny because you can go there alone and find some friends eating and join them, because there are always people eating, at any time. I think Assarin and the other students restaurants have saved my life in this Erasmus!

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 ...
