Last meeting with Morgane, I’m so sad! But we had a great time together, this time we went around Tampere to find and buy some Finnish souvenirs for her friends and family! We started at the souvenir shop near Hämeenpuisto; there they sell all kinds of things; jewelry, mugs, shirts, toys, kitchen utensils, fridge magnets, crystals… you name it! Morgane chose to buy a Finnish flag, some cups and a beautiful cooking utensil. I hope the prices would’ve been a little smaller, because there was a lot of cool stuff there, but…
Then we went to Tallipiha near Näsipuisto, and looked around. We visited the cute craft shops and the beautiful chocolate boutique with cute and delicious sweets! The cashier gave us some coffee truffles to taste, they were delicious. I encouraged Morgane to buy some nice salmiakki (salty licorice) for her and her friends and family to try, haha! She also bought the other nice chocolates.
Morgane had also bought some stuff from Lapland, so I hope she has nice things to take home with her that remind her of Finland and the time she spent here! It’s been fun learning a language this way, it was way more relaxing than taking a language course, and we could learn exactly the things we wanted. It was also helpful to listen to a native speaker and hear about the actual French way of living and culture. I hope I taught her well too, haha! I’m going to miss her, I’m glad we met each other! 🙂
Bon voyage Morgane!
