Stockholm

Most of the Finnish people recommended me to visit Stockholm, so this Easter I had a visit from a friend from Spain and we decided to visit it with two more friends from the Erasmus. We were there on Thursday morning and we came back on Sunday morning, but it was time enough to see the most important things. We visited four of the 14 islands that Stockholm has, and we are totally in love with the city. It´s a very lively city (compared with Turku there is a big difference) with a lot of beautiful buildings, it´s bigger than I thought and I think it´s a place you can visit more than once and you´ll always see new things. There are also a lot of parks and places to have a picnic or just chill with your friends.
The only thing I don´t like about it it´s that it´s very very expensive, and also they use a different currency so it´s difficult to calculate some times how much are you paying and also I had a fee when I paid with the card.
We also did a free tour in Spanish and I have to say that there were a lot of Spanish people, I don´t know why, but I heard more Spanish than Swedish!
We slept in a hostel and it was a bit weird because the room was for 16 people, but the four of us had a really good time and we enjoyed the trip a lot.
I really recommend to visit it because it´s amazing.

Vappu

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!!

Food again

The last post I was talking about pastries but now I´m going to talk about all the things I ate these days with my parents. the first day it was very late so we went to one place really near to the apartment, and I really liked it, it was a place of pizzas but they have Finnish products, we ordered one with reindeer and one with salmon and they were very good! My parents really like salmon so we ate more times, we tried the famous salmon soup in Helsinki and I have to say that I was surprised with the flavour, it was good; we ate salmon also with the black bread from here in a kind of toast, and also another toast with shrimps. My parents don´t like so much fast food places but because of the expensive restaurants here on weekends and the timetables for having lunch we ate in two fast food places, of course, one was Hesburguer, the most famous in Finland, it´s everywhere! And the other one was a street stall called Grilli, in Turku, and I also have seen at least three Grilli stalls; an...

Tallinn

I want to talk about one of the trips I made here, is not Finland, but it was during my Erasmus so I think it´s interesting to share the experience. I spent more or less three days in Tallinn with some friends in a hostel, and it was really good and funny! We went to Helsinki to take a ferry to Tallinn (that was the worst part because we had to wake up around 4 a.m) and we went one day to Riga (I will make another post for it). My trip didn´t start the best way, because when we arrived at the ferry I realized that I had lost one of the wheels of my luggage, so you can imagine!! Also, the hostel was a bit weird at some points but it was very cheap and the room for the 8 of us was really big. We went around the city and I have to say that it´s very beautiful! (and also very cold, although it was sunny so I was really happy to see the sun shining again). We ate in a pancake place a pancake (of course) which was delicious, but our gastronomy wasn´t really variety, cause we ate in an It...
