My first time in Sweden

-
My roommate and me went together to Stockholm. The best way but not the fastest way to Sweden from Finland is by ferry. The fastest would be by plane, which is a bit more expensive. I would recommend everyone to go by ferry, the drive takes unfortunately about 10 hours but it is worth seeing it and especially with friends it can be an amazing time on board. There is a lot to do on the ferry there are bars, shops, gambling area and a club.
We arrived pretty late to our hotel but still went our right away after our check-in to have a look at the city and eat something. We ate at Vapiano, which I can recommend to everyone because they have a lot of options and almost everything tastes good there in my opinion.
And also, the waffles that are sold in every corner in centrum. There is even a Ben&Jerrys waffle store, which we tried out the wonder waffle I got costs 11€ but I am not sure if its worth it. I personally did not like the waffle it tasted kinda old to me but we went there pretty later as well maybe the waffle was from the morning but the Ice cream was good as usual. If you just want to snack something small there are a few seven11s in Stockholm. There was one really good Italian place, which is called “giro”. Besides, I can recommend the cafes there to anyone. We had breakfast in a cafe every morning.
These are some cafes we went to:

- Cosy Café
- Cykelcafé Le Mond
- Café Schweizer
- Café Pascal






But you won’t have a hard time finding a café in Stockholm, there are a lot. The city itself is worth seeing but there is also a wide choice of sights to see:

· Vasa-Museum (about ships)
· Junibacken, which is actually for children but I still enjoyed going there
· Drottningholm palace
· Fotografiska
· The city Library is very beautiful as well
· Brunkeberg Tunnel is really stunning
· And the train stations are so artistic and beautiful 


And also the H&M store is worth visiting it is nothing like the other stores I saw before. As H&M is a Swedish brand. They put a lot of thought and effort in their stores in Stockholm.
I've fallen in love with this sweet town. There is so much to do and to see. The city is in an old baroque style and yet very modern at other corners.

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. Many Exchange students have decided to fly home and even some have been obliged to leave. My roommate and I have decided to stay because t...

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.
