I am learning a lot of Finnish in my language class and I can have a basic conversation with someone now. My roommate and I took a taxi to our friends apartment a few days ago and we had the taxi driver teach us how to count to ten. Although their number here are very long. For example, eighty is kahdeksankymmenta and forty-nine would be neljakymmentayhdeksan. However, one hundred is sata.
The other day, we went to the city center for dinner. Unfortunatly, we went a little late and the only thing open was McDonalds; so, we went. In Europe, most McDonalds deliver your food to our. Also, in Finland, they do not put ketchup and mustard on burgers; they put mayo and a red sauce that tastes like taco sauce...it was not too good.
I will start playing lacrosse tomorrow and in March I will be going to Turku to play a game.
I met a Spanish guy this weekend, who is completly infatuated with the fact that I am from the US. It is almost kind of awkward, but everytime I run into him he has a new list of question about the US; for example, he really wanted to know what color our passports were.
I didn't think that my first name was a hard on to pronounce, but a lot of people have trouble with it. Some students just can't say it at all and because of this I have gotten the nickname 'America' by those who can't say my name.
There is a lot of architecture on campus, this is a big thing for the Finns.
Liikunta- the Health Science building where most of my classes are.
Student Union building on campus
C Building- the main building on campus
