flying off! wonderful sisters who came to the airport, plus a grp pic w our finland banner which was left on board the cruise without hll knowing :O

lets start with Jyvaskyla, the place where we studied and spent most of our time at :)

it's a small university town with a rather small population, so even at the town centre, their "crowded" will nv beat Singapore. its bright almost the whole day, their darkest is like Singapore's 7+pm. the sun sets ard 12 and rises ard 2, bt their skies are beautiful. similar to other finnish cities, there are lakes ard, and lavenders started popping out one day from nowhere. they are real pretty! i tot i remembered the flowers along the streets to be yellow when we first arrived.

now bout their lifestyle. the place's pretty safe. the people there are nice and honest. the only thing is that beer is like their staple. they can drink all day round, which explains all the drunkards we see around :x a finnish food, karelian pies are yumm, me and my sis are like craving for some now! while almost all cant stand their licorice. we deceived hll and the rest into trying some choc which contained those thingys, hehehe. and yes, we don't see many cars ard. finnish people like to bike or walk (;

school! the building isnt impressive on the exterior, bt the cafe's kindof nice, and they have this old ancient lift which we dont dare to take. we were kept occupied by the assignments from the 2 modules we took. latin america had guest lecturers from diff places every week and there were the local finnish plus students from other countries, which was where we found the orange tee guy ;P whereas hi-tech only had us 9 singaporeans.

the things we got to experience at finland were wonderful :) a big thank you to the tutors who have helped us along throughout the trip! apity we didnt get to watch a soccer game! boooo.
