This meeting was a great opportunity for the others to get to know a very special sport, but well know I Finnland. It was an Ice hockey game, but not only one it was a battle between two enemies, Ässät vs Tappara. Tappara is representing Tampere and the Team called Ässät is representing Pori, a city in the eat of Finnland. We were lucky that we got some cheap student cards for 11€. The game was pretty intense. After a solid 3:3, the game went into extra time, where Ässät made it to score at first and won the game. Talking with my EOTO group they never saw an ice hockey game, that’s why I could explain them a bit about the rules. Ice hockey is, next to soccer, a very common sport in Germany.
We also learned some new words:
(ice)Hockey – Eishockey- 曲棍球 (qugunqiu) – Hockey (sobre hielo)
Hockey stick – Eishockeyschläger- 曲棍球棍 (qugunqiugun) – Palo de hockey/stick
Game – Spiel- 游戏 (youxi)- Juego/partido
Tricot – Tricot- 经编 (jing bian)- Camisola
Team – Mannschaft- 队伍 (duiwu)- Equipo
Referee – Schiedsrichter- 裁判 (caipan)- Árbitro

Goal – Tor- 入球 (ru qiu)- Gol
To play – spielen- 玩 (wan)- Jugar
Whistle – Pfeife- 哨子 (shaozi)- Silbar
Cheerleader- Cheerleader- 啦啦队 (laladiu)- Animador
I for my part had a great day, while others maybe aren’t that much of a sports fan.
Anyway, I am looking for our next meeting, which is going to be our last meeting.
