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.

Cultural course for Exchange:Turku Cathedral If you come to Turku you will surely pass by the Cathedral ( the Mother Church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland ). It is possible to visit the Church for free and I absolutely suggest it since it is a very important building rappresenting the history of the city and the history of finland. The Church was built in 1300 but it was then expanded in the 14th century and then built again after the big fire of 1827 due to the big damages. The Cathedral is situated close to the city centre in a nice square, sorrounded by typical building that are part of the old town area. I was surprised knowing that the Church is regarded as one of the major records of Finnish architectural history and is considered as the most important religious building in Finland .
