Oh, we did also continue brainstorming the video for Portugal. Your gratitude for it will be Huuge.

Our trip to Spain
Last week we were in Benalup Casas-Viejas.
We have written our experience here.
We have written our experience here.
We arrived on Saturday evening, well at night so there is not much to say about that day.
Sunday:
We went to see the beach. It was quite sunny but windy.
You could see to Africa from there!
We climbed up a sand dune and saw an amazing view.
From there we went to a place called Tarifa.
It was a seaside town near the beach.
There we ate pizza and took a little walk.
On the evening we went to the hotel Utopia in Benalup.
There we met the other students.
After that we went back to our homes to get some sleep.
Monday:
Monday was the first school day. We had some icebreaker games.
Their school day is a little different than ours. They only had one break at about 11 o'clock.
They also didn't have lunch in school and instead ate sandwiches.
One activity was also making jewelry out of old computer parts.
Us girls went horse riding in the evening. We got some very nice pictures from there.
They boys had played Fifa and other games.
Tuesday:
We went to a place called Jerez. It was about an hour's drive in a bus.
We visited a university campus that was part of four different campuses.
They told us about the university and the life in Cadiz.
We also talked to an app developer.
We asked these people some questions that we had done on Monday.

This information was used in the joint articles that we wrote on Wednesday.
On the afternoon we went shopping and returned home at about 5pm.
On the evening we hang out.
We danced and teatched some finnish words to the others.
Wednesday:
We visited the City Theatre and we presented our articles and the videos.
After that we had a break, and then started writing the joint articles.
The articles were about our visits to the university.
In the evening we went to an old town named Vejer.
It was probably the most beautiful place we visited.
We took a lot of pictures.
Back in Benalup, we also went to a cafe.
We tasted some very delicious Spanish desserts.
Thursday:
Thursday was our last day there.
In the morning we went to the Radio Benalup.
We were split into 2 different groups.
Both groups interviewed the radio presenter. He told us about his job.
Then we went back to the school and finished and presented the joint-articles.
After school we decorated the school gym for the bring a dish -evening.
From there we went to the countryside.
We ate some paella. (it was reaaally good)
Also we played some ball games until it was time to leave.
In the evening we went to the bring a dish -evening.
We ate food from all of the countries and saw some flamenco dancing.
We also sang and danced together and hugged and cried.
The worst thing was saying goodbye.
Friday:
We left at half past seven.
We were all quite tired and the car journey to the airport seemed to go fast by.
The whole day was only travelling.
We all felt sad to leave but also happy to go back home.
Even more so when we saw all the photos that the others took that day.
That was our trip! It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.
We made new friends and also learned a lot.
Hopefully we will keep in touch with all the wonderful people.
Thank you!

Back from Spain!
Today the students who visited Spain are back, and they are showing us pictures from their trip.
One of the Finnish teacher (Sanna) brought the rest pf us some Spanish sweets to munch on. What the rest of us learned from this presentation, was: Nobody knows how to pronounce Vejer, nobody knows how old the "Old church" is, and it generally was just a blast.
What else's happening? WOOOOORK!!!
Questionnaires, surveys, blogging, analyzing, writing, charts and all sorts of professional looking stuff.
Weather?
Well it's looking a lot like April right now, even though it's January. So that's a thing that's happening.
Back to work we go!

Starting the Portugal Project
In case you didn't know the exchange to Spain started a few days ago.
And what does that mean for the rest of us?
Things are heating up, we've been at WAR over the questionnaire results. We were missing a few of them, but now a ferw of us are resisting the weather, and going outside to ask people to fill them in.There are only 7 of us working right here, but, six of us will go to Portugal in March. Well, fortunately Fanni has already been to Scotland, so that leaves six. That was simple, wasn't it? No bodies, no blood, no murders. Only happiness, rainbows and sunshine. Well not sunshine (this is Finland after all), but you get the point.
I I Weather News I I
If you're lazy: http://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/weather/kalajoki
If you're a decent human being:
It's been fairly warm for a few days/weeks now, meaning that the majority of snow has melted, but it also has been cold, which means that all the running water has now turned into X-TREMELY slippery ice.
Several body parts and vehicles have been harmed because of this, and authorities have been informed.
Unfortunately, they also slipped, and hit their head, End of story, you're welcome.

A Mandatory Post About The Weather
Today we are shooting... or at least trying to shoot some videos. We also took "beautiful" pictures of Kalajoki that we can show in Spain. All of our students that are going to Spain are soooo excited to make new friends and have an awesome week! It's quite cold and snowy here, so it's also nice for them to go someplace warm.
