Friendship program

The Friendship program
So I applied for the friendship program here in Finland, so at first I will tell you about what it is, about my experience during the friendship program and at the end I will tell you if I would recommend it to you.

What is the friendship program?
So what is the friendship program, the friendship program is a way to meet with the Finnish people and learning more about there culture and the differences between Finland and for me the Netherlands.

My experience from the friendship program
On Thursday 19th of September there was the first meeting with your Finnish friend. So I was kind of nervous, because I'm not that good at meeting with people I have never seen before. But it went really well, we had a nice talk about things we like, where we are from, what we are studying and about our future plans. We also talked about some activities we could do together while I'm here, so she is taking me to a ice hockey game, I have never been to a ice hockey game before and really sounds like fun to watch it some times, we will have a lunch together with her sister and another exchange student and in the beginning of December we will go to a museum that is only open a couple of days before Christmas. So later on I will tell you about all of the activities we did and tell you about my experience of the activities.

My recommendation
Later on the program I will tell you if I can recommend this program.

My appartment

So now I will show you guys my apartment and tell you about my experience of living on my own in a strange country for the first time. So I'm sharing the apartment with a dutch friend of mine, so technically I'm not really living on my own, so it is nice to live with someone you already know because you can eat together and you can speak your own language when you are home so that is really nice. My first impression of the apartment that it is bigger than I thought it would be, especially the hall is very long and the kitchen is nice. The only thing I didn't like was the floor and the bed, because the floor has a black and white pattern so that irritated me at first, but know I'm getting used to it. So know about the bed the first night I slept on the bed was one of the worst nights I had, because the mattress and the pillow are really thin, so the next day my back hurt a lot and I didn't get enough sleep that night. So the next day I found a pillow in the clo

Nationalpark Kurjenrahka

So on the 23rd of September I went hiking with four other girls, who also speak dutch. So we left at 09:00, because it was 1 hour and 30 minutes with the bus to the National park "Kurjenrahkan". So in the national park there were about 5 routes you could take, we choose the route(orange) that was around the lake and also was the smallest. I was expecting to hike for about two hours, but it took a lot longer. We have been hiking for about 4 hours, so that took a lot longer than I expected. But at the end of the day we walked about 10 kilometers. We had chosen a really good day to go to the national park, because apparently it was the last day that the bus would go to the national park and because I don't have a car or a Drivers license yet, we picked the right day. The weather was also quite nice, because the sun was shining the whole day and it was about 10 degrees outside. I only had it cold when we stopped moving for about 30 minutes. The national pa
