Hi !
I am not really a true Finland’s tourist because I live here since few months (it is not just for a trip !) but sometimes I can say that I am a tourist in Finland !! Indeed, when I arrived in this country, one of the most important thing was to discover and travel all the around the country. And this begin with the help of a local person; so thanks to Emilia, I learnt during this meeting many beautiful place you have to visit here.
So, obviously Emilia spoke about Lapland and mainly about Glass Iglu Hotel in Ivalo. This place makes me dream ( Igloo’s room in the middle of nowhere to see northern lights in your bed) but unfortunately this place is too expensive. But I am glad to go in Lapland two times during this semester (one time with my friends and another time with my family). 
The second place that Emilia recommended to us is : Kemi Castle. It is a castle built entirely of snow; very amazing and incredible to think that a building such as is possible. It shows a lot that the temperatures are so cold in this country !!
She also explained to us the main big city of Finland : the first one is Vantaa, the second is Helsinki, the third one is : Turku and finally Tampere is the fourth one. i was so surprised, because before my leaving I have heard that Tampere is the third one and Helsinki the first one.
And of course, we spoke about Tampere ! Our city ! She told us to visit : The Torni Hotel with his famous Moro’s sky-bar (I really enjoy this place), the Vapriikki museum, Nasinneula Tower, Piyynikki Tower … Of course I have visited all this place ! Here is one of my favorite picture of Tampere that I took few weeks ago ! 
At the end of the meeting, Emilia taught to us some expressions that we have to know when we come in Finland, so here is some of them :
- Hyvää Päivänjatkoa : Have a nice day
- Olen hukassa : I’m lost
- En ymmärrä : I don’t understand (my favorite one !!)
- Minä rakastan sinua : I Love You
- Hyvää Ruokahalua : Enjoy your meal
I really enjoy this meeting. Indeed to share our Finland experiences/trips with a Finnish person is so interesting. We can see the difference points of views from us (tourists !) and she (a local person) about the different places.
See you later for the discovery of a new country .. But witch one ? France ? Germany ? You will see !!
