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.

About me

About me... My first post is about myself. My name is Selina and I am 20 years old. I am from Germany but currently in Finland for 9 months. In these 9 months I will do a double degree here. I am studying international technical sales in Germany. The question that was often asked me here is, why Finland? For this question there is a simple answer: the only place where I can do the double degree in my course of studies. But of course also because I find the country itself very interesting. It's my first time in a Scandinavian country and Finland is in a good starting location it's easy to travel from here to Scandinavia. It's a whole new experience for me, especially with the cold. Normally when I go on holiday it is always south to warm countries and with Scandinavia I definitely leave my comfort zone. I am together with my bestie on this trip. We live here in Turku. We have already planned some trips. Unfortunately we don't have as much time as we hoped.

Kart in Club TURKU

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.
