Last Tuesday we went to watch an ice-hockey match at the Tampere ice stadium (Tappara against Ässät). For me, it was the first time that I saw an ice-hockey game, and I really liked the experience.
While we watched the game I explained them that in Spain we don’t have teams of cheerleaders like in Finland and in other countries, at least in small cities, and the sport that is most practiced is football, since Spain has various of the most famous football teams in the world, like Real Madrid and Barça. In Germany one of the sports that is most practiced is tennis, although football is also one of the favorites sports, and in Malaysia football is also the preferred sport. We also learnt some vocabulary related to ice- hockey in German, Chineese and Spanish.

The final score was Tappara 3-4 Ässät. After watching the game we spent some time with people from another EOTO group who had also gone to watch the game; we took some pictures all together and went with them to the nearest bus stop to go home, since it was snowing and none had an umbrella… We haven’t got used to the beginning of winter yet!
