The adventure begins in Finland as a new whole world is shown to me.Downtown (city center) is 10 minutes from the university by bus and 15 – 20 minutes by bike. Many of the students buy a bike and take it to city center, but the bus is fine for me. Anyways, downtown is quite quit, what I mean by this that the city is not loud… in contrast, France you could here people talking all the time. Oulu is on the coast and sits on a island as there are many rivers and canals around Oulu. It is sept. and its already 50 degrees here in Oulu, back home it 90 degrees wow what a difference a day makes.
Moreover, I went to the grocery story and wow it was difficult to pick out what to eat… nothing was in English at at all, I just guessed what the food was… I mean it looks like ham, so it must mb ham… ha. I just pick up simple things to get me through few days, such as bread, peanut butter, jelly ,cereal, eggs and my favorite Ramon Noodles… At night there was a party in the dorm for the new exchange students, there I meet many of the people living in the dorm. People from everywhere in Europe, however only a few Americans.
