second day in finland

Our second day in Finland has been difficult to explain, after discovering that the business
college we went yesterday wasn't the right one, we headed to the right one, which was closer than the previous one.

The guided tour through the institute suprisded us. The plants, the basket courts, the cafeterias, the
auditorium, etc. All was immense, even more developed than the ones in Spain. We still have to learn a lot.

We went to a meeting with Turkka Koivu in Elisa, our place of practices, but they were already in a meeting,
and we had to postpone our appointment, until 4 pm. Finally and after the meeting, our
functions and schedules were well planned, and do not forget our languages: we will use Java
and Oracle.

When we were coming back, we bought dinner and went to rest because we have to start our practices the following day.

First Impressions in Finland

First impressions in Finland

After 4 hours in the plane and the daylight saving time, we arrived to Finland. First, we went to pick the bags, and there were some people from Málaga here, as everywhere in the world. After picking the bags and a taxi we arrived to the hotel. The trip by taxi cost 47 euros. It was raining and it wasn't cold. This is the hotel.

When we arrived to the hotel, we went to eat. Happily, there always is a McDonals when you need it.
After having our dinner, we returned to the hotel and checked that what Sergio told us was true”in the rooms isn’t cold”. Marcos, Raúl and me sleeped in short sleeve.
This morning, we got up at eleven o’clock and it was snowing outside. We went to the train station to check which train we wanted to get to go to Businness college and Elisa oyj. We found the company when we were already in the train coming back to the hotel. We also saw a theme park that we will vistit later.
Sincerely and without going so cold as it first seemed.
