Studying and living in Finland during "Quarantine"

-
The corona pandemic was at the beginning just a big fun until it got serious. In the beginning many people made fun and the internet was booming about jokes and memes related to corona but meanwhile it is quite serious. Especially in countries like Italy, France, Sweden and Germany the whole thing has degenerated. Exit bans and mask duties were issued. The stand here in Finland/Turku it is luckily not so serious yet. Safety precautions have been taken like schools and universities have been closed and many are working from home. In supermarkets there are hand sanitizers at entrances and exits and a safe distance is maintained. Restaurants now only offer food for pick up or delivery. Bars, cinema and crowded places are closed, events are cancelled. Meetings with more than 10 people are prohibited. The boarders to Helsinki were closed for a while too.

Further activity that can be done at the moment is going Go-Kart driving. We were around 8 people and it was a lot of fun. We payed 20€ each. The place provides you overalls and helmets. There is a given route outside where we drove along. A lot of us spun in the track curve or crashed into each other. One of our friends got hit while spinning and ended up in the grass. The race was about 10-15 minutes in my opinion pretty short for the price but as the route is not too big it would have been boring otherwise. At the end they gave us our results as they tracked everyones time.

A big and extraordinary building.  It is visible from everywhere and therefore easy to find. At the top of this 74,5 metres high, expressionistic building there is a viewing platform with a 360° panorama view to the city. This enables the best view over Reykjavik. The tower is open daily - except on Sundays because of the church services. The church is used normally. Therefore it is possible that the tower is not accessible because of a Holy Mass or a church recital. The entrance fee to the tower is 900 ISK for adults and 100 ISK for children between 7-14 years. Younger children are admitted free of charge. This church is the biggest one in Reykjavik.  In the foregroun...
