3rd meeting and Finnish night

Hello again!

Our group had our 3rd meeting couple weeks ago (again late with posting, sorry). We held our meeting at my apartment in Kaleva. We have four Finns in our group so Finnish night was really good idea. We all made some food. We had Perunamuusi (mashed potatoes), Lihapullat (meatballs), Karjalan piirakka (Karelian pastries), Puolukkahillo (lingonberry jam), Munavoi (egg-butter) , Munkki (doughnut) and Salmiakki vodka. We wanted to have Salmiakki as a candy but we kind of forgot that but because we had that vodka we got everyone to try Salmiakki in some form.

First we started by Salmiakki vodka and then we ate. Everyone seemed to like our mostly homemade food. Karealian pastries and doughnuts were all bought fresh from somewhere. All night we played Finnish songs from Spotify and we talked about Haloo Helsinki songs and Antti Tuisku. We also tried to translate Antti Tuisku’s song Keinutaan in English. All of our foods had name tags next to them and there you could see the foods’ name in Finnish, English and Spanish.

After eating and everything else Paola and Sofia taught us some Spanish. They had made a list of some words and tongue twisters. It was really fun night. Next meeting will be tonight and tomorrow night. Because of nine different busy schedules we had to split into two groups and meet like that this time.
