tampere

attended 1.5 hr finnish lesson with amy and eliz, got to know jenny and juan. the teacher is really very friendly. just the kind who will teach a language class. she was teaching the letters and positive and negative sentences. then haf to go around asking classmates qns and answering. same as jap class lor.

after class, juan and amy brought me to the water towel and the frozen lake where i tried the snow angel. so interesting.. an angel is just a human flapping the arms and opening and closing the legs. then we walked back to the sch canteen to eat. u can take watever amt, but restricted to the types of food u take. 2 euros. not too bad la..the rice taste weird. the chicken was stuffed with some green paste.

amy went for class after that, and i followed juan and jenny back to jenny's place. saw some pics on jenny's laptop..very nice of juan to narate all the interesting incidents to me.,..haha.. then jenny brought me to the city centre, away from hervanta, the suburb where their sch is. we went in cathedrals, shopping centres, one of which we bought the ice hockey tix, and walked along the river. the town wasnt too big. we rushed back for dinner, macaroni and broccoli.

we rushed out again to catch the bus to the stadium. tappara vs hlfk. exciting match. the fans complete the whole atmosphere with cheers. the players are so cool. it's really team spirit and tactic la. each team has a star player, with a golden helmet. so stress rite...the audience will have higher expectations of the star players lor. anyway both were not too bad. a pity that tappara's goalkeeper isnt strong. it's a draw, 6-6 but the opposing team won at the final showdown. sad case..haha amy super sad also..
