Koli Nationalpark

Trip to the Koli Nationalpark

Saturday the 29th

On Saturday we and the French exchanging Students went with Ara to the Nationalpark Koli.

At first we were a little sad that Jaana wasn't going with us. But we have to say that we had a great time with Ara. He is a very funny guy.

After a two hour drive in the same direction we arrived at Koli.

Even if it was very foggy and we weren't able to enjoy the few it still was a beautifully place.

A visit is totally forth it. Ara told us some thing about the Park and the surroundings and also we talked about Clowns...

We had a nice time at the Park. Learning a little bit,

enjoying the nature and having great chats.

It was very foggy but Ara was in a good mood so we were too.

A lot of fog, trees and stones.

more fog, trees and stones

It was a beautiful place in the middel of the nature.

So, after we saw everything and after a video about the park in the museum we weren't going back. No.
Our next stop was a forrest, our Plan? Having a Bonefire and making a BBQ.
It sure was really cold but it was such a nice idea with really nice people at a beautiful place.


We were talking a lot about god and the world. Eating sausages doing marshmallows and just relaxing at a warm fire-place. The time went by fluently.
About 4pm we get back to our accomondation and we al were  chilled throug.

It was a really nice saturday. We saw a lot more from Finland and we got to know some new people.
If you ever be near Koli, go and visit this place. In winter, in summer it doesn't matter.
In all seasons the Nationalpark will look great.

After we were back we just layed down a little bit and the only aim was to get a littlebit warmer.

Hello Joensuu

Guiding Tour

Through Joensuu

Tuesday the 25th


After some presentations about Finnland some of the Students took us to a guiding tour through Joensuu. The three of us and Mrs. Krall were taken through Joensuu with some of the students, so that they learn how to make such guiding tours. We have to say that they did a good job. They did choose a interesting route and explained it very well. They showed us a Hotel, some night clubs and the shopping mall also a little totally cute place were you can buy self made things.

Sadly that was the last day Mrs. Krall was with us. We had a very nice time and a lot of fun with her. After we finished our "school day" we said goodbye to Mrs. Krall and went to the City center to drink a coffee and hot chocolate in a total lovely place.
Goodbye Mrs. Krall it was a nice time!
Thank you 😊

Wednesday the 26th

Normal Lesson Time...
With math, finish and physical education...
This day was the only day that was of no earthly use... The teacher didn't talked to us... We were just sitting in the class and doing nothing.
That day was just going by totally slow and we were happy when our day ended...

Plans for the evening?
Yes.
Two of us went with people from our accommodation to a lake. With a Campfire, sausages and to have a happy time but...
It really was a great idea but it didn't worked as imagined.

Thursday the 27th

And let's go to the next day!
Today we had a new teacher. He planed to go with us and the whole class to a Hotel. He prepared every thing in english also the guidance through the hotel was in English. The women from the reception who give us the guidance did a really good job. She told us a lot about the hotel and also answered a lot of questions. It was really interesting.

Friday the 28th

Today we took a look how the students learning the Service things in this school.
In the canteen the students layed the table for the other students. When the other students come to have their lunch they get served the drinks (water or milk, they had three different types of milk) and when the students leave the tables the plates were cleared away. And that's how they learn. Learning by doing. It was interesting to see in what different way they learn.
