Travels:Kuopio


 
In Kuopio we first stopped just outside the town Centre to visit the "Puijo Tower". 75mt tall and with a nice restourant at the top. There,  It is possible to get to the roof top and have an amazing view on the city ,on the forests and see around.

If you are aturist and you are interested in that, is good to know that, If  you are a student you get a discount and the ticket is 4 euros, 6 euros for adults.

From the top up there I took some good pictures. I really liked that.

The city of Kuopio reminded me of Turku.
The buildings, the streets and the shops are really alike.

 
 




The locals suggested we should try the "Kalakukko", a  typical food from the town. Kalakukko is basically a pocket filled with both meat and fish inside. The taste is anusual, I guess is a persona opinion but i did not like it.

 

soup and pulla instead.

In analysis about Finland, the results of the study show a society in which equal rights, decentralized power and communication are fundamental both in private life and working field. The score Finland achieved in the field of Individualism is pretty high. This feature highlights the common

Studying in Finland: the main differences with the Dutch system   I have been studing physiotherapy for the last 3 years in The Netherlands. I was so excited about the opportunity of coming to Finland for a semester as an Exchange due to the fact that Finland is famous all over the world for the high level of education and the quality of the health care system.   Studying in Finland has been very interesting. Since day one I noticed that the the classes, the methods students use in order to get their knowledge and prepare for exams is very different from what I am used to. First, the cycle of studies here in Finland lasts 3 years, in The Netherlands is 4 in total. Where I study (in the Netherlands) the theoretical classes are more during the week and the time we spend reading books and articles is endless. Here in Finland this is not the same. The theory is important but not as much as the practical skills. I was impressed by the level of professional attitude o
