Lapland part 2: Party woop woop:

We went to the party from our organisation. We left from the cottages to do a walk for 20 minutes in a temperature of -20. This was really cold and I was happy that I was in the partyplace.

Because we weren’t with the a lot in Saariselka, the party wasn’t that big. We only went until 1.30am, because we were really tired because of the trip. We talked with the fellow students and with our guide Karkki. One positive thing was that the water was free! That we don’t have in Belgium. We went back and we did a walk in -28! It was so cold that I didn’t feel my face anymore. Also we did a little detour because we missed a turn. I was so happy when I was back under my blanket in the cottage.

fun fact about students in finland!!:

Party overalls: each faculty has his own colour in Finland we in Belgium have hat or sach!!

For the exchange student the overalls are bleu and Niels, Mara and I bought them at the ESN office in our campus. Normally health care students have a yellow overall with red pockets!(so I heard). people are really creative with the overalls!! and for each event they attend the can collect badge to put on the overall that’s really nice!!
