... was our community impact day. I went to an immigrant school and taught some drama classes. I’ve learned quite a few games since joining Up With People; my teaching toolbox if full! If any of you teachers out there need some great group games, let me know. I have plenty!

After lunch, my group worked at an after school program. Around 3:00 p.m. we rejoined the cast and had internal time. Hans (SD), Nao (Japan), Shelsea (CA), and Dave (VT) led a ...

... t cope with the tension. We were all a bag of nerves, no one really wanted to have a battle for the next 45 minutes, we just wanted the final whistle to blow.
Throughout most of the second half the team were still pushing on and going for goal, with them coming mighty close several times. It was only after the final whistle that the girls found out they were through in third place and meeting Finland on Thursday in Turku (they actually get to stay in ...

Eiköhän näillä pärjätä...

... Then took the one hour ferry to Kumlinge. That was quite lovely. Got here at 1930 (still sunny) and found it was 8km to hostel. So I tried hitchiking (mum don't read!). She was a really nice lady and it would have been a really long way when you're carrying a 14kg backpack and you're already tired. It's a really nice place here and they speak swedish not Finnish. In fact the A Lands has their own culture and very few speak ...

... made from wood, because that is warmer to live in than stone or brick. You'll be pleased to know I'm sure that last thing today we tried in one more supermarket, and when the toiletries section didn't have talc, I thought to look in the baby section, and I did find a small container of baby powder (pudder) so that will do until I can find something more exciting. Anyway, back to Tampere. We were both feeling a little weary of museums, so opted to skip the museum about ...

... right around the time I was heading back to the mainland! so, instead of getting on the ferry back to Finland I hopped on their board and cruised to Stockholm with them! good times! The "ferry" is actually and enormous cruise ship, complete with buffet, night club, sauna, etc. We had a great time eating, drinking, eating, went in the sauna, ate some more... lol! pretty sure ...

... would be late and I'd miss the next one, but for no good reason. The very punctual train system got me everywhere on time, and all the connections I had to make were well signed and easy to find. I've met up with Jug, Pasi, Pekka and family, and the Juhanus festivities have begun! last night we went to a bbq/sauna party where there was good food and great company :) they raised the Finnish flag ...

... Go 700 -malliin. Seuraava ongelma oli laitteen hankkiminen. Nettikaupasta laitetta saa muutaman päivän tai muutaman viikon toimitusajalla, mutta meidän piti saada laite jo samana päivänä. Minä soittelin eri jälleenmyyjille ja huomasin, että kaupasta haettuna laite maksaa jopa 200 euroa enemmän kuin netistä ilattuna. Loppujen lopuksi saimme Tomtomin Raison Myllystä, ja hyvään hintaan. Huolsimme vielä uskollisen automme ja sitten olimmekin valmiita lähtöön.

... mid-evil castle. I took a tour, very, very cool indeed. The ship was very cool, even had a disco, shopping centre, bar, and many slot machines. Used to those. But unfortunalty the disco was a bunch of older people dancing to some very sleepy Finish/sweedish music. (almost like polkä).
