August through October

I've been to quite a few places so far, here are pictures of my host family's vacation cottage in Norrkulla:








I went with school to Lapland. It was quite different planning than in the US because they were like, "Alright, make sure everyone brings a knife and matches!" We also only had 4 teachers go and 40 students. We went by coach bus, it was really fun! The ride was 14 hours I think each way.



































































I went to Tallin, Estonia with my host sister and her friends and it was AMAZING! I can not even describe how great the restaurant we went to was. It was dirt cheap with wonderful food and the people working there were so nice. I will post pictures of it once I get them from Hanna.

I've visited other cities in Finland, like Kitee, Oulu, Porvoo, Anjalankoski (boot camp), and Helsinki of course which is 17 minutes away by train so I go whenever I want. Helsinki is by far my favorite city, it's so clean and there aren't huge skyscrapers so it feels more spacious.

On the weekends, I hang out with my friends or my host sister and her friends, go to parties, go out to eat with friends, you know, just normal teenager things.
