Tuesday, workday

Hi everyone!

On Sunday my family took Marta, Cristina, Ayan (Cristina's sister) and me through a "car tour" over Helsinki. Actually, that was a very good idea because that day the temperature was of -6 degrees 😏. 

We were travelling to places we haven't been when we were at the centre, such as the house of the Prime Minister, the Spanish Embassy or the Sibelius Monument.

When we were near the sea, something shocked us. It was very cold and there was a swimming pool in the same sea. We went to look it carrefully, and was a sauna and a hot outdoor swimming pool.

Monday was a very exciting day because, finally, we bought our tickets to Rovaniemi, in Lapland, North of Finland, to see Santa Claus 🎅🎅🎅! We were wondering all the days about when we could go and finally, we bought them. We leave on Friday evening, we sleep at the train, we arrive on Saturday morning. On Saturday we visit Santa Claus home and the same Saturday we take the train back home.

The same day, I also tried sauna at home, very relaxing! 😫

Today, Tuesday, as always, working at the morning. My boss is really nice and my colleagues are very friendly. I really like my job, is not too hard and not too stressfull. I enjoy it. 

At midday we went to a lake that was completely frozen. We took photos in there and at the afternoon, we went to the library to do English exercises and to check tickets because maybe on Sunday we go to Tallinn (Estonia)!

Next Tuesday more!

My wonderful first week in München

My first day at work I was very nervous for meeting my colleagues, but now I'm happy because everyone is very nice to me.

I work in a designer furniture shop, The name of the shop is CAIRO.

Normally, I put the price of the furniture and I help them to decorate the showroom.

Every day I'm going to eat with a guy from the company and he teaches me the city, his name is Timo.

I haven't work today because on Saturday I have to work, and during the week I have a free day.

At half past two I've gone to get Marlena and we have eaten together, we went shopping later with Pol and Edgar.

It's been a fantastic day.

Saturday

Saturday,

We started the day with our German Sister, She show us some Munich monumets
1-. We went to a big tower in the center of MarienPlatz, we go up through the tower and we saw all the city from the top.
2-. Then we visited a very big church named: "Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Múnich"  in the city.
3-. Later, we went to eat in a very famous restaurant in the center of munich "Ratskeller München", with our German Sister and some friends of him "Ratskeller München". Where we eat "Snitcher", that it's a steak of meat breaded.

And Finally when we arrived at home we saw some movies in english.

Sunday, the last day of the week

Hi everyone!!
I'm Marlena and I'm a student that wents to München, with Nerea, Pol and Edgar. It was a great first week. I strated my first job at Tuesday and  I was really nervous but my colleagues were really nice with me.
I work in a Supermarket called Basic-Bio, and here is a photo.

I went to Austria with my dad and my stepbrother and we were in a Christmas festival, it was really fun but it was very cold...

I will publish a post every Sunday.

The first day of snow

Hello my name is Marta, I am another student, who has had the good fortune to go from Erasmus.

As you can see here it is always cold so always and it is typical to drink hot chocolate or tea.

This photo is from our first week and our first hot chocolate, with our teacher Montse.

And besides that today is the first day that snows, and this is a photo with the first snowfall of our trip.

My First Week

Hi, My name is Cristina Fernández and I'm one of the 3 students that we are in Finland.
We arrived in Monday like my friend Angel said in his blog, that day we went home and meet our families that are very nice people and also in Tuesday we meet our tutors that are from the school of Helmi and visit the center of Helsinki to took some photos.

This one is my favourite picture of all. On Wenesday I started working in K-Market thats it's like a Mercadona in Spain, my collegues of work are also very nice and friendly, the work it's not similar like the one i have in Spain but now I'm getting used to and the time that they're have lunch, because it's at 11.00am.

On Friday we met the tutors again at Helmi and we went with Suvi, Sanni ( that are two very friendly girls that now they are our friends) and Juhani ( that is the "brother" of Angel) to the center to catch the Tram to do a tour of the city and of course to take pictures.

At 9 o´clock we were in the airport, I was very nervous.

When we arrived, We went to the school to met the director and then we went to eat at a typical german restaurant. I asked "Gurmeteller", is a dish with different types of meat, I liked.

Then, I met Julia, is my sister in Germany. She is 28 years old and is very nice and always helping me in everything. 

My first day in Germany was great!!

Starting our Erasmus experience in Helsinki

Hello everybody. My name is Angel Rodríguez and I'm one of the 3 students we are in Finland.
The other 2 students are Marta Cabello and Cristina Fernandez and we travelled with teacher Montse to Helsinki from 21th November to 20th December.
Monday morning. We had our flight at 6:00 in the morning. We had to be at the airport at 4:00. We were all sleeppy...😪 The flight was nice, they gave us a little snack that was a little bit weird but acceptable 😊

We had a connection in Frankfurt for an hour so we had time to relax, go to the toilet, etc.

Finally we arrived to Helsinki.
You could notice you were there because it was 4ºC a warm weather there.
Later, our families came to receive us at the airport and we went to our houses to install ourselves.

At tuesday morning, we had to be at 10 at the school. I took the bus with my brother in there. A very curious thing is that the people prefer to be quiet, so there was nobody at the bus talking, just looking at the window.
We had a little meeting at the school, there we met our tutors, students volunteers that make activities for you, then a tour in the school. It's very different from our school: they have cafeteria, sports center, gym, PE room, theatre room...
Later on, we visited our job places, we all work in supermarkets in the mornings for 5 hours more or less.

After that, we went to Helsinki city center where we visited some cathedrals and shopping centres. It's a very nice city in this days because it's all decorated with Christmas trees, christmas lights... Tomorrow is our first day of work, we're very anxious!
