This is my last week in helsinki. This week was a busy one but with a lot of interesant things, we went to Helmi (thats's the school of our tutors) to celebrate the Lucia's Day. There we saw children singing and we had like a brunch there with typical food ans drinks. The next day we also went to the school but to do some classes of Spanish to help their students and to explain them our Christmas traditions in Spain, that day also the pop up students arrived to Helsinki and we also met them in the evening after that we went with some tutors to a church to saw an event where the people sing Christmas songs.








Yesterday that was Saturday we went to visit the Caravan that there were the other students of  Spain and after that we went to pick up our teacher of English Cristina to the airport because in theory she was arriving at one but the plane had some problems and it couldn't take off of Frankfurt, for her was a surprise because she thought that we weren't there to pick her up. Moreover this week snowed more  heavily and it was so beautiful.

A long journey, a day off at work and one week to leave

Hello everybody, how was your weekend?

Ours, for the people we're in Helsinki, was very very tired. 
We arrived from Rovaniemi at 9 o'clock in the morning on Sunday. I personally, couldn't sleep in the train.
We had normal seats and the train carriage was full. In addition to that, they turned off the light very late so it was impossible to sleep.
According to this, I personally, when I arrived home at 10:30 i slept until 19:00, so that was the plan for Sunday.
At night, I went to the sauna there's at home. Very relaxing...



On Monday, Cristina and I went to our work places. Marta was sick of the journey so she stayed at home. At the afternoon, we met the both of us to buy some gifts at the centre. We saw the poster announcing the opening of the PopUp restaurant in Helsinki, also from students in our school.



On Tuesday, we had a celebration at the school. It's called Lucia day. Children from the school near Helmi, came to sing some songs at the school. 
I didn't go to work because I had a day off at work, Marta was still with little flu and to Cristina, they told her not to go for a few hours so, we went to the centre and then to the library to do English exercices we have to do if you do an Erasmus.
Every time we meet at the centre, we meet at Rautatientori, the central railway station, in the city centre of Helsinki. That's the main point for all the trains, trams, buses and metro.




Furthermore, we're leaving in 1 week. There is people that might want to go right now home in Spain because they don't like the weather, the food, etc. and there may be also people that want to stay where they are because they like where they are, the family... If you ask me, I have mixed feelings about it. 
On the one hand, I miss my family and the people there but, on the other hand, I'm comfortable here. My family is really really nice and at work they are also very nice and helpful with me, so I can't ask more! Here I leave a photo of my house.


Next post It will be written in Spain

The tree was decorated very beautifully.




Yesterday, also we took a train form Helsinki to Rovaniemi at 6:52 p.m., and we stayed all the night there and arrived to Rovaniemi at 7:30 in the morning. The journey was a little bit tired but okey.
When we arrived to the station we had to take a bus to go to Santa Claus Village that was like 30 minutes, there the first thing that we did was of course seing Santa and took a picture with him. After that we went to see all the village and we took a lot of photographs. Finally Angel and Marta went for a ride with the reindeers and we also went to have lunch there.








Before going to the train, we went to see the city of Rovaniemi that its a small but very beautiful, there we bought souvenirs of Lapland. Finally we went walking to the train station to see what was like the rest of the city. At 9:10 we caught the train to return back to Helsinki in the next post I am going to tell you how was  the journey of returning back.

Hi!!
Here is Marlena again, and I will explain how my week was.

At  work this week there were many things to do, I have been working at the bakery department serving the costumers and helping my colleagues.

My classmates and I found last week a cafe where we go almost every day of the week and some of the waiters are spanish  and we can dialogue with them in spanish, it's funny. The name of the cafe is Coffee Fellows and they do really good coffees and hot chocolates.



In these 2 weeks that we have been here we have noticed that there are a lot of Spanish people, and sometimes we speak with them.

Nerea and I were at a guided tour with bicycle and we visited the Englisher Garten, The Royal Family's house,A house that was built at the 2ww's time and some other places.

Here the weather's a little bit crazy because one day we might be at 6 degrees and the next one at -12, but, it's Finland!
Okay, so on Sunday we were actually going to Tallinn (Estonia), but the trip by boat was cancelled because of the weather, so we went to the offices of the company to request the refund of the tickets. Later on, we stayed at the centre buying some gifts at the Christmas markets there are.
On Monday we went to work at the morning, like always. I work in Neste Oil Malmi, a petrol station with supermarket very near the school and of my home.
At the afternoon we went to see Saara Aalto, a finnish singer who is in the final in the XFactor UK. She came from London at the morning and at the afternoon she was in Helsinki centre. People was very excited that a finnish singer was in the final of a very important talent show.




Tuesday was Finland's National Day. They celebrate 99 years of the independence of Russia. We went to see the different activities there were in the city, furthermore we went home to have dinner.
I had a dinner between finnish and rare dinner. Before eating, I had toast with a tasty sauce with caviar. The first plate was a tick soup of cauliflower. The second was salmon with cooked potatoes and mushroom sauce and for desert, ice cream.


Finally, at the evening we went altogether with our brothers and sisters to the cinema to see The Accountant.
