| Lumikenkäilyä Marjan perheen luona. |
During the Christmas time, I visited Seinäjoki
and Tampere. Seinäjoki is not a big city. Unlike most other Finnish cities, there
are not many lakes around city. But still I found a lake nearby the local
central hospital. Walking around lakes and having some peaceful time by just sitting
by the lakeside are my favorite things to do. Of course, because the weather
was chiily, I couldn’t sit there still. I chose to have a walk. Soon I realized
that lake is an artificial one after talking with the local. I didn’t check out
what is the real reason behind digging this lake, let me just assume lake has
an crucial position in Finnish people’s heart. Until backing to Konnevesi, I
got to know Seinäjoki is called “Strawberry Town”. I guess the lake also plays
an important role in the water supply for the growth of strawberry J. And Tampere is bigger than I imaged. I am not doing to write in
detail, as I was more like a tourist.

Last few weekends, I visited my mentors - Marja’s
family and Maija’s family, I had gotten the chance for first time to try
snowshoeing, what’s more, first time to walking on a lake equipped with them. Even
though that day was an extremely cold, it was a fabulous experience. I also
visited a cinema (which seems the only one within Konnevesi?). At the beginning,
I was worried if there are enough audiences to watch out there, as it is
located in the small village, but soon I cleared up the doubt by talking to the
one of owner there, who had started that business since he was 12 years old. What
an unbelievable story. I tried to recall my memory backing to my age of 12, I
am the boy who used to be excited for whole day for watching an open-air movie.
In addition, I learnt how to cook some Finnish dishes and dessert from Maija. Margit
also visited me to visit her family, and shared their stories with me, the most
amazing thing to be here for me is getting to know how people live their life
here and how this big community works.

There was one day in the Lapunmäki school, which
is called “Digi Open” (not sure if it is right), which is part of a national program
including several Universities. Pedagogical students in University of Jyväskylä
joined with the teachers in Lapunmäki school to apply some digital methods to
help students for learning, like Typing practice, Swedish language study and so
on. It was nice to visit there quickly!

Finland should be one of the best places for
the winter sports. People start skiing at a very early age, even though there
are not many mountains. But the heavy snow can make skiing a sport easy to
operate. As you can see, there are so many things for me to have a first try, skiing
is also a new sport for me to join, although I have watched it on TV many times,
it always looks far away from my life, as a person living the places with a
little snow. Frankly, it looks very easy to get speed to move forward, but I
ended up like a snail. Obviously, there must be something wrong with my skiing
skills L. Furthermore, I have to mention sled ride, with mates of
international club, we had a sled ride on the hill. I had seen the kids in
daycare playing with sled, but never tried it by myself before. The experience
proved that sled ride is an very interesting, not just for the kids. Although I
didn’t prepare well for clothing ,and have to use the plastic bags wrapping my
shoes, this sled ride did bring me to the childhood with a great joy.
Stay tuned,
