My personal experience in TampereMy personal experience in Tampere

Hi! My name is Nuria. I'm one of the eighteen students who have had the

opportunity to participate in Comenius project. I'm going to tell you about my

experience with Comenius, to encourage you to take part.

I went to Tampere, in Finland. It was such a beautiful place! Finland is very different

from Malaga, it has a lot of forests and lakes, and it looks very beautiful covered with

snow. It's true that in finland it's cold, we had -24º one day! But if you keep yourself

warm it's bearable, Im colder here in Malaga than there.

On the first day we were very tired but when we arrived in Tampere and we saw the

snow all the tiredness disappeared and we became so excited. Until I touched the

snow I couldn't believe that I was there.

When we left the airport I went to the school and I went with my host, Linnea, to her

lessons. She had dance class, so it was very good fun. In the evening I met the

family and they were very pleasant.

Their school was amazing; in the classes there wasn't so many people as in Malaga,

they had a lot of material in their library, in their art class, in their music class ( even

more than 3 pianos and a drum set!).

They had areas where they can rest with sofas, tables and computers in the

corridors, but the most atonishing thing for me was that they left their bags and

coats in the corridors.

The next days, we were all together in the mornings. We had some lectures and we

worked on the different educational systems. We also went for a walk to visit a

tower near the school. From the top of the tower there was a beautiful view.

On other day we went to the Kuru school of foresty, we went for a walk and we took

photos in a big area full of snow. It was very beautiful!

In the evenings we also had a great time, we went ice skating, sledging, shopping

and on the coldest day we went to the sauna and ice swimming! Outside the

temperature was so cold that when we went outside our hair froze, but it was very

good fun!!

On the last day until the other comenius students left, we went to some museums in

the morning and in the evening I went with elena and some guys to buy souvenirs

and to sledge. It was snowing and the snow went into our eyes.

Later, we went to the school and we had a farewell party; we ate, sang and danced

and we played a game about zombies who run after humans to turn them into

zombies. We had a great time but it was also a little sad because we had to say

goodbay to each other.

On sunday I spent the morning with the

family. Linnea, her brother and I went to a

hill to do sledging and it was great, but I

fell off the sledge many times!

In the evening we met the other people at 'Megazone' and we played laser tag. It

was awesome!!

On monday morning we had to leave, but I didn't want to go. Maybe I didn't talk a

lot with the other students, but I have met so many very nice and amusing people

who I'll never forget, and I had a superb time there! I'll never forget this trip, I hope

to go there again and see all of them!
