pesäpallo


What I love about Finland is all the sport you can do and see. One of the sports that really have interested me while I have been here is Finnish baseball, or pesäpallo in Finnish. Today I finally went to see. 

The game has much in common with "normal" baseball, but it is much more tactical. Read more about pesäpallo here.

Under you find some pictures and videos form today's match Kiri vs koskenkorva.

It was a fun evening, and something you all should see if you visit Finland!

everything comes to an end


So, last class is done, and very soon done with my last written assignment. After 37 ECTS (+15 ECTS at home uni.), I count myself as done with learning for this semester. My originally plan was to also have one course next week, but since I do not need the credits I ended up saying enough is enough.

The last weeks have been the greatest weeks here. I have met a lot of new, lovely people. And the the weather have over all been quite good. When I entered summer school I was really tired of learning, but the courses the last two weeks have been great. Lectures program and over all learning outcome have been just great.

Yesterday I had a wonderful night out with friends. We started our night at Rentukka (a summer hotel/ bar) in my student village reopened after a longer time of renovating. Next step was to head for city and play snooker. This was my very first time in life playing snooker, so I will not say I did well, but I hit some balls and gained some point. The most important part is that it was great to play, and great time spent with friends!

Upcoming week I will collect all my papers, say a lot of ‘good byes’ and generally prepare myself for heading back to Norway.   

ps: for summer school a group of students form Norwegian school of sport sciences arrived! So after being the only Norwegian here, we are now a group of 7 or 8. And here comes the crazy part: one of them I have been competing against (speed skating) for years! Tellus is a funny plays to be ;)

Heippa!
