Juva Camping

Viajámos agora mesmo até ao centro da Finlândia.
3 horinhas de autocarro...

Uma vez mais, é uma cidade pequena, calminha e com muita neve.

Pagámos 2 euros para entrar no museu de história natural, que tem basicamente 3 salinhas. Vou ser sincera: sentimo-nos enganadas. Especialmente depois do trabalho que deu a lá chegar, po...

Can't really say much about today as all we really did was travel further south. The scenery pretty much remained unchanged and that was pretty much it. The campsite we stayed at had a really pretty lake and was really nice just to hang out at late in the afternoon.
Onwards south the next morning...

Today we went to Jyvaskyla (which we named J-town for simplicity). That really is about all there is to report as it was a long day of driving along straight, tree lined roads. Highlights include watching Team America on the bus, and kicking a soccer ball around at a petrol station during a driver break.

Okay, so the last week of the summer school was quite chill and relaxing (ish). I started
my last class, it's called Science and Religion from a Philosophical and Historical
perspective. I thought it would be a really interesting topic, but silly me taking my
first philosophy class ever, I was definitely not prepared for the bigge...

Okay so I am trying to continue on with all of the interesting happenings that have been going on. Now lets see.. On (last) Monday I started another new class: Dialogical and Narrative Techniques in Counselling and Therapy... let's just say... WTF?!?! I really did not understand this at all, maybe Kristin can enlighten me when I get back home. Jyväskylä, Western Finland, Finland lvtran

Hey everyone!
I know it's been a while since my last entry, but there is really not too much to report on my front since I am staying in the same place all the time. BUT I guess I'll keep you guys updated on my boring everyday school life in Jyväskylä.
So last, last Monday (May 25, 2009) I started a new class called Working models in Dom...

Wow the last week has really flown by! I am really loving it here in Finland and especially Jyvaskyla. On Monday I started class, I am taking Social networks and interpersonal relationships in a multicultural world. Long name haha. I think it's really interesting- so applicable to everyday life and it's mostly a discussion class which is so diff...

So I figured that now that I have moved out of my place in Jyväskylä, I should send out a general email about my term, because I realized the last time I sent out one of these emails, it was January 13th. Sorry, but this one will be a tad bit on the long side. This term was fantastic. I met a lot of new people, which is to be expected, my course...

Timmy (a small rodent-like animal) has been travelling with the GSE team from District 9570. Timmy, originally from the Rotary Club of Emerald Sunrise, travels with members of the club on holiday, and raises money for polio eradication projects. Timmy has had a great time with the team, and always interested in trying something new or meeting ne...

FRIDAY 1ST MAY 2009 The Team were fortunate to be in Finland to experience and observe how the Finns celebrate Labour Day. Unlike Australia, the Labour Day holiday falls on the Friday and not the Monday. The Teams spent the morning with their host families - many of us seeing in May Day with a sleep in and eating the culinary delights associated...
