9th meeting: Spanish/Swiss/German

Vappu weekend

This weekend and the whole vappu week was truly an amazing experience for all of us. It is definitely a good time to go outside, and spent time with your friends in Tampere.

There are so many things going on during Vappu: from dipping engineering students in the river, to a champagne shower to having a relaxed picnic in Koskipuisto.

We met in Koskipuisto on Sunday and spent the whole day together exploring the finnish student life. We were all wearing our exchange students overalls with our patches  and that way we felt included right away. I really liked it. It was definitely an unforgetable experience and I have not experienced anything like this before. I will never forget how crowded the city of Tampere was during Vappu. We also attended a Gambina meeting and some other events that were organized by university students.

While hanging out in the parc I also learned some new Spanish words:

Kappe – gorra
Fluss – rio
Park – parque
Strasse – calle
Straßenbahn – tranvia
Studenten – estudiantes
Feier – celebracion
Erster Mai – primera de mayo
Becher – taza
Flasche – botella
Süßigkeiten – dulces

 

This was definitely one of our EOTO meetings that I enjoyed the most!
