main kitchen and school- finland exchange day 5; wednesday, 16th May 2018

Hey guys!

I woke up at 6:45 and after breakfast we went to school. At about 8:00 we left with the bikes to the main kitchen in Kotka. The trip took us something like 30 minutes like to Luovi. There we went into a room with some tables and chairs where were some overalls and hats. We were welcomed and told how to put on this things, what will be the following steps and how we have to behave when we go through the kitchen.
So, after we had formed groups (like german, finnish and polish because of translation...) and had put on our things we went to the kitchen and washed our hands, disinfect our hands and our shoes with liquid. Then we went in the kitchen and were shown and told many things (pictures are enclosed at the end). After the little tour we could answer the most question and after a manager and a woman of the production kept little presentations we could answer all. Our questions about kosher and basics you can find in the next entry.
Before the presentation we got some pizza and some tasty smoothies. It was really delicious! But after that it was time to drive back to school.
There we first had a tiny break and then we had lunch. It was something like goulash soup with vegetables.
After a little break we got time to work on our blogs and got some laptops again. Then we had to sit in the food philosophy groups and went on with preparing the (Power-Point-)presentation.
After working a while we had to seperate in other groups again where you have at least one person of each food philosophy for the debate. But it was a bit difficult because in the end the group in actually was had only german students xD So we changed a bit and then we were able to debate. In my group we first gave some information about our philosophy and then we just discussed what we think about them, so if we think that's good or not, and exchanged our mind and if we could imagine to live with the different philosophies. 
After that nice talk with some other students we got time to improve the presentation (we needed a bit longer than the others) and when finally everybody was ready we listened to the presentations. The vegetarian group also showed a clip where you could see what would happen if the whole world lived vegetarian from now on. 
After all the presentations it was already 16:20 and we were allowed to go home. 
There we first got some grilled sausages and corn before we went to the stable. At the stable we had a lot of time before we got Jenni's pony ready for riding lesson. Because we still had time we went a bit into the nature. Soon we went back for being not late. After riding on the riding paddock we decided to go inside as outside were many flies. Then she got riding lesson and the riding teacher also could speak german because his mother tongue was swedish what is pretty close to german. It was really nice to watch Jenni and her pony riding also difficult exercises. 
When the riding lesson was over we went for little round in the nature again. Then we gave him some grass we prepared before the lesson. We left the stable quite late (about 21:30) but it was really nice there. 
At home we had some of the noodles with chicken again but this time with out chili (3 It was much better and tasted good. Then I went to bed.

It was a long but nice day!

Yours,
