Hello TAMK!
We are
Alena and Jana – two students from the Czech Republic. We are trainees at TAMK.
In our country, we study at the Czech University of Life Sciences, our bachelor
programme is called Guidance in Vocational Education.
We arrived in Tampere on 31th May, so we have now been here for more than a week. During our first
week, we managed to get lost a few times, get confused by your buses, meet loads
of new people but most importantly – we totally fell in love with your city!
We
definitely agree with the nickname that locals gave to Tampere – Manchester – but not because of the brick buildings, but we think that it is due to the
constantly changing weather.
A lot of
things surprised us. For example, the gambling situation here. The gambling
machines are everywhere. And we are not sure what to think of it…. you must
get paid a lot. ;)
The fact
that Finns seem to drink milk and coffee with every meal was also surprising. And
maybe, if the buses could start to announce the next stop, it would be less
confusing and we would not have to be so nervous that we would forgotten to
press the button and miss our stop. Thanks!
Maybe the
last weird thing that is worth mentioning - everybody here is very welcoming
and helpful. (Forget the stereotype that Finns are “antisocial”. You are not!
;) ) And almost everybody can speak English. Even if we find somebody that
can’t, there is always some other person prepared to happily help us.
Thank you
for having us!
Alenka and
Janička
