As some of you already know,
I'm living in Otaniemi since I came in September. In a very nice flat located in
Servin Maijan tie 6A at about 9 km from Helsinki and 1 km from Tapiola, in the east edge of Espoo.
So today's post is to make sure next year students know how comfortable is living in Otaniemi, and why it does really worth try living here.
Why I tell you this today is because as far as many of
my colleages from school live here too, we meet very often to have dinner. In my Miri+Anuka's flat (my flat), in JMT 1A Hugo's common area (he lives in a cell room), in JMT 5 Matú
š place (he shares the flat with 2 finnish guys), in JMT 1B Laura's common area... Sometimes we meet in the guild's room located in the ground floor of the Workshop building (as most of us are studying architecture)... and so on and so on.
Basically,
we have very nice times sharing our
architecture ideas,
cultural values, and loads of
interesting knowledges. Between us, there are very few native English speakers so we are improving our English more and more and many times funny things happens, such as vocabulary issues. For example, we are talking about something very specific (cooking) and there is the name of a weird vegetable that each of us know the name in our own language but nobody knows it in English. So then, we ask everybody how he/she says that thing in his/her language adn we compare the differences. Of course we are having new skills in different languages as French, Spanish, German, Slovak...
The cultural experience is one of the most significant of this year abroad, and I'm glad I've opened my mind so much.
In this post I wanna thank everybody from Aalto University 2010-2011 the very best moments we are sharing.
