German students in Finnland

Our trip to Finland/Suomi started on 1st March 2010.
On the first day we flew at 12.25 from Berlin/Tegel to Helsinki/Vantaa with Airberlin. We arrived in Helsinki one hour later. Then our exchange families took us from Vantaa airport. Next we drove to our homes in Helsinki with our exchange families. The whole day we were at home and watched TV or ate something.Then it was late and we went to bed at ten o'clock.

On the second day we get up at eight o'clock, ate something and then we walked to the Jakomäki School.The school started at half past nine. The teachers in the school showed us the whole school and every room. For examble the music room, the home economics room and the computer room.

After the school visit, we went by bus to the city and went shoping. Later in the evening we were at home and ate something like pizza and then we went to bed.

On the third day we were in the school, too for breakfast and lunch because we cooked together. Later we did a bus tour around Helsinki. It was very exciting. We saw buildings like the Lutheran Cathedral or the city hall.
Then we drove at home, ate something and later we went by bus again in the city and went shopping. Later in the evening we came home and went to bed.
On the fourth day we were in the school and later we walked to the candy factory "Fazer". There we could eat chocolate as much as we liked. We did it!!! The chokolate and the candy were very delicious. We liked it. After it we were in the city and bought postcards and other things.

On the last day, the fifth day we said Good bye to our exchange families and the other people and flew back to Germany at 13.25. We arrived happily about on hour later in Berlin/Tegel.
