This weekend I went to go visit one of the other exchange students. Her name is Lily and she is from Lake country, near Kewlona. We first met each other in June when we flew to Ottawa to get our VISA's, and then met in the Vancouver airport and travelled the rest of the way to Finland together. She is living in Tampere, 2 hours away from Turku, so on Friday evening I was able to take the bus up there. On Saturday we spent many hours walking around Tampere. We went to one indoor market that had a variety of different booths. We got possumunkki from one, it was a bit like a doughnut and coated with sugar. She challenged me to eat it without licking my lips. That was much harder than I expected! We went to a Mexican place for lunch (a very late lunch), as well as walking around a mall briefly. We spent a bit over an hour in a museum which had a bunch of cool exhibits such has the history of post in Tampere, a bunch of computer or video games dating back many years, a record section (musical records), natural history, and a kind of creepy doll section with some very detailed doll houses. Walking around was very nice because at this time of year everything is so pretty with all the leaves changing colour and falling. It was very nice to see her again and get a chance to catch up on the last few months.
