Christmas in Sicily VS Christmas in Finland Christmas period is important and loved by many cultures but, the way we celebrate and spend the period before and during Christmas time can be very different. One of the most characteristic aspect of Finnish Christmas culture are the Christmas markets where you can meet Santa or go shopping. People sell handcrafts, local products, food and gifts. Small and big cities have their own markets going on during the weekend and they are very popular. People drink Hot wine and eat paistres on the Streets. In Sicily (where I am from) there are not such markets in the big cities. In the last years, maybe to imitate northen countries, it is possible to visit some temporary markets during Christmas time, but that is not actually in our tradition. People usually buy presents in the common shops and we have no hot wine at all. Although,in the small villages in the countryside is possible to visit some 'food festivals' where local prod...

Experiencing the Sauna in Helsinki My Erasmus is coming to the end, it is crazy how time flow past so quickly. My Brother came over from Italy to visit me and that was definitely a good reason to go to Helsinki for a day trip again. The city is even nicer now that Christmas is coming. Lights, Christmas markets in the Senate square and in the square in front of the Harbour and many tourists around. We had a good time and were walking around for a while, visiting the nice markets. In Italy we do not have Christmas Markets or anything like that. For this reason I guess it was really nice for my Brother to see that,  However, the best part of the day was when we went to the Sea Pool Sauna place at the Helsinki Harbour. In Italy saunas are not common, here in Finland are everywhere, for this reason it ws important for me to make my Brother try it. Paying the entrance ticket (8 euros for students and 10 for adults) you have free access to the saunas, swimingpoo...

My schocking Erasmus My Erasmus experience is coming to the end. After four months in Finland I can say that it has been a great adventure. I believe that this experiences has the power to enrich you in a professional level, deeping you knoledge but, even more, it can enrich you as a person. Meeting new people, being in a country you dont know, speaking new languages, trying new food, living in new and unaspected conditions, everything puts you out of your confort zone and makes you a more mature and open-minded individual. I really suggest this experience to all those who have a chance to live it. The unique point about doing an Erasmus is that it gives you the opportunity to know more about the world and about yourself. Furthermore, you can learn how to look at the things in life from different points of view. If   I am asked to describe my own experience in Finland using few words I would definitely say: Friends and Natur...
