Friday there was a Finland vs France futbol (soccer) game so I went with my kummi to the bar near the university, Caio, and met up with some others to watch it. There are a lot of French students here so it was packed and lots of cheering!
Yesterday me and 119 other exchange students took a bus to
Lämsänjärvi for a fun afternoon sponsored by ESN and NISO (organizations on campus for international students). We played an ice breaker game called "bang" and then divided into teams and had ourselves an olympics of sorts. HILARIOUS!

Then the girls went to the sauna. HOT!

| It reached 80 degrees Celsius |
Then jumped in the lake. COLD!
Then we ate makkara (sausage) and karelian pie. YUM!
Today I decided to finally go check out the city centre since I'm pretty much the only one who hasn't really been there yet :P I walked because I wanted to know how to get there the pedestrian way and so I could really get a feeling for where I was. It took me over an hour, but I finally made it! I really need to get a bike.
