Summer is here!

Summer has already arrived here! Atleast last week was amazing, I’m burned!

Time has gone to fast, as I allredy said earlier. But I have also done a lot. We had an international evening some weeks ago, where exchanges students represented the countries they come from. I made some Finnish food, Karjalapiirakoita and korvapuusteja. It was nice to see how people liked them. The same evening we had an huge wohnheim party in the dorm! It was nice, but maybe not so nice for them who needed to get up early next mornig :D

Tow weeks ago we were eating Sushi in a all-you-can-eat restaurant. It was great because we had also some chinese students with us, who could tell what everything was. I ate too much and was so tired afterwards. The same sunday we had an excursion with our German history and culture group to Nürnberg. It was the city where Hitlers headquarter were . I’m not so much interested in history, so the trip wasn’t very interesting for me..

In Stuttgart there is Frühlingsfest every spring. It  is like Octoberfest, but smaller. I think almost every city in Germany have their own Volkfest or Frühlingsfest on springtime. I was there  two weeks ago with some german students and excahnges students.  Atomsphere there was great and it was alot of fun! Many of the German people were wearing a traditional dress and they looked so cute! I think I will go there once again.. Maybe next week..

Last weekend I was travelling with 5 other exchange students in Düsseldorf, Köln and Heidelberg. We travelled to Düsseldorf on Friday-Saturday night and the trip took about 10 hours! It was because we bought the cheapest possible train ticket and we were not allowed to use any fast trains. But it was anyway nice!  First night we stayed in a hotel in Köln and the second night as well in Köln, but in a hostel. The hostel was really nice; nice staff, good location immediately next to the train station, clean, great kitchen and there was everything you could imagine and need! I would recommend it to everyone who is travelling in Köln, it’s called “Pathpoint Cologne”.

Düsseldorf, Köln and Heidelberg were all so beautiful!We didn’t have much time to spend in Heidelberg and it seemed so nice that we decided we will go there some day again, we just need to make a plan when.. We came back home on Monday evening because we didn’t have any classes on Monday. And we wanted to have some free time before the school, which continued on Wednesday.

Monday and Tuesday was days when I really missed back home. Here people don’t celebrate the First of May the same way as people in Finland… Actually right now I guess I  also miss a bit Finland. No-one in here is interested to look the ice-hockey world championship, everyone is just watching soccer :S

On  Friday I went to the kindergarten, where I’ll work in, for a visit. Just to see how the place is like and to introduce myself. It was a nice looking place with very nice people, I’m looking forward to start working there next week :) Tomorrow we will once again have an excursion, now to Bodensee, a like in the south of Germany. I just have to keep my thumbs up for a good weather! :)
