Day 5- Class & Tampere






More language camp. These 3 hour classes are killing me. Can't focus and my tutor barely knows English and doesn't know how to explain things to us everyone in my class is French and I can somewhat understand them but choose not to :p 
A girl from France asked me if I eat syrup for breakfast every morning 
Today for dessert after lunch, we had raspberry mouse. It tasted exactly like raspberry frozen yogurt from bartleys. Craving =satisfied 
There are so many amazing singers here!! Oh my god. We are all sitting in the main lounge singing hallelujah :) and now on our way to Tampere. Now going home from Tampere, didnt buy too many clothes but the clothes I bought were a steal. So cheap. Also bought some candy and had a wonderful conversation with a French man! He was so nice! Went to a book store and bought some school supplies since school starts on Wednesday. 5 euros for 1 pen, which is horrible considering I loose pens so easily. Glad I brought my own!! Kydra and I bought matching shirts and scarves and pencil cases. That way we can remember eachother even though we are on opposite sides of the country. Tampere was fun today. This camp has been fun but because there are so many people from different countries, they have become very cliquey and only talk to eachother in their native languages instead of English where everyone understands. So today in Tampere we went to Hesberger which is like Finnish mcdonald's. It is honestly the exact same thing. They have ncdonalds here too but we decided go try Hesberger instead. :) it was good. While on Hesberger we ran into some of the oldies that are in our towns from like Australia and new Zealand and some places in brazil. They didn't talk to us for very long though because they had to catch a train to go back to their towns. The ride home was a lot of fun. We had the very back of the bus which was 5 seats and then like 8 other people who were in seats at the back were talking to us too. This guy named alex from Belgium had an old school game boy exactly the same as the one I used to have when I was 4 or 5. He had this special game piece that he used to make music on the game boy. The songs are all made using the sound effects from different games. It was the coolest thing about the day. He even writes his own lyrics to the songs he creates. And then I finally met a girl that will be in my district. She will be in kuopio which is only like 20 minutes from Siilinjärvi. :) right now kydra and I are writing a mashup of Justin bieber songs for the cozy night concert which is Friday :)
