This is the way to the plane wreck as you can see in the video it is in the middle of nowhere and you should plan your time and wear good shoes and wind/water resistant clothes.
This place is the Disneyland of Finland created after a children cartoon show. Moomin is really big in Finland toys, t-shirts and bags with moomin is available everywhere. Unfortunately Moominworld is closed at the moment due to corona but we still went there to watch the sunrise as it is close to the ocean. Moominworld is located in Oldtown Naantali or close to it. Usually there are theater acts, snacks and the characters walking around. Eventhough the pictures of Moominworld underneath seem a bit sad I think it’s definitely worth coming back in the summer one day and experiencing it. But the sunrise was luckily very very beautiful.
The teaching system was initially a big shock to me, as there is a big difference in the teaching approach between the German teaching system and the Turku university of applied sciences approach "Innopeda". In Germany at the university I study and most of the German Universities there is only the final exams at the end of the semester and during exam phase we do not have any lectures. Our attendance is not mandatory most of the professors do not really know their students as the classes are really big and the students are basically numbers we do not write our names anywhere e.g. even on exams we put our number. While at TUAS, participation in class, projects and group work (peer evaluation) make up a large part of the overall grade. The German approach is of course much more comfortable for the students as there is much less work to do, but the Innopeda approach wants to encourage students to show initiative and work independently, to develop critical thinking and innovative...
Where it all began... Our trip started on August 25th. I flew from Frankfurt airport to Riga and then to Turku. Our arrival was in the middle of the night. Our tutors picked us up at the airport and dropped us off in our new home. Unfortunately it was very dark so that we could not see much on the drive. The apartment was not completely new for us as we had already seen some photos. I live together with my bestie in an apartment. The apartment is very sweet. I first had to get used to the bed and also to the small wardrobe. The first thing we did in the morning was to go for a walk. To discover the neighbourhood. We are shopping in K-market. The first day we spent with cleaning and with our tutors.
