But this is the thing I came here to tell you:
I had the second orientation here in Finland (in Porvoo) last weekend (18.-19.5.2013)! The first one lasted only two hours and it was meant to my parents also. This one was just for the Finnish exchange students 2013-2014 via AFS. There were people who are going to Mexico, China, Thailand, Argentina, Chile, Indonesia.. and of course the other Finnish girl who is coming to Russia! It was really nice to talk with her :)
There were also AFS volunteers in the camp who are former exchange students. They had been in the countries we are going to. So there was a girl who had been in Russia a year ago! She told us a lot about her exchange and it was really interesting. In the camp we thought and talked a lot: about Finnish culture and other cultures, next year's possible ups and downs (I'm sure it won't be that interesting and exciting all the time), our personal values and goals, for example. We also wrote a letter to ourselves to the future, those letters will be sent to us during our exchange.
So I met a lot of new people during that weekend :) They were all very nice and we had a lot to talk about because we all had at least one thing in common: exchange. Many of them were very talkative so you had the change to talk as much there as you wanted :D
I travelled by train from Turku to Helsinki. There was a bus from Helsinki to Porvoo.
We (at least some of us) went to swimming - even thought the water is still very cold!
The food in the campsite was really good! We also got some ice cream :p
New people!<3
One is coming to Russia the other was in Russia (and then there's me!) :)
No, we didn't play football :D I think here we were playing some 'mental image' games.
These photos get me on the summer mood!
Love
Nella
P.S I also added a counter to this site (on the right)! There you can see how many days are left until I go to Russia :))
