Day 3, Monday

Today, the day started earlier than the days before, because we drove to the school to do a bike tour to a lake. When we started the tour, firstly we got bikes by the school. Then we started driving. The way was a little bit hilly, but this was not a big problem. After a little but, we reached our goal. While the first part of our time there, we sat down at the lake and relaxed a little bit, because the driving was relativly exhausting. Then we grouped up with everyone and played a couple funny games together. That was really nice. Then we had free time again until food was ready. As meal, we got Fish Soup (or Spinach Soup for vegetarians), Egg Salat and some finnish bread, filled with rice. As a whole, it tasted very nice. Then we got into groups, to note questions for our visit tomorrow at a farm and our visit at the main kitchen in kotka, to ask. After finishing that, we ate crepes. Sadly we had to leave then and drove back to school. The rest of the day, we met a few other students and friends of them, to relax a little bit. As dinner, we ate sausage, meatballs, potatoes and salat. Later in the evening, we made crepes outside on a special crepe grill. That was the third day at Kotka, which was like the otger days, very nice.

Day 2, Sunday

Today in the morning, we met Jonas and his exchsnge host again and git into the city, where we met both lisas and their exchange host. Firstly, they planned to go into a shopping mall, but then our hosts noticed, that the mall is closed on mothersday. After that, we walked through the city to get to the beach, where we sat down on a big rock in the water to relax a little bit, until had to pickup the polish students, who arrived a few hours later. After relaxing at the beach and singing, we started to go back to the car, to Pickup the polish students. We got two other students, who were very friendly. Then we drove back home and grouped up again with the lisas and their Student to eat pasta with salat and meatballs. A little bit later, Jonas and his exchange Student joined us. That was the second day in Finnland, and it was, like the first day, very nice.

Day 1, Saturday

Today is the first day, in the exchange week. We met at the main train station in Lübeck at 9.50am. After every Student arrived, we got to the train, which brought us to Hamburg, where we drove with two other trains to Hamburg Airport, where we checked in and so on. While waiting for getting into the airplane, our teachers told us some things, related to the project. After that, we drove to the plane by bus. The plane was a little one. After a couple minutes of waiting, we finally got into the air. After one hour, we arrived at Helsinki Airport, then we got into a bus and drove to Kotka, to meet the exchange hosts. When we arrived at the exchange hosts home, we firstly ate some food. It was a finnish meal, with Sausage, baked with cheese, potatoes and salat. Next, we grouped up with Jonas and his exchange host to drive to a place, where they like to be. There, we bought some snacks and so on, and sat down to eat it and chilled the rest of the evening. After that, we drove back and met some friends of Taneli and the exchange host of Jonas, but sadly they had to leave and we continued to drive back home. Its was not a short way to his home but it was relaxing, to just drive, while the sun was going down. That was the first day and I am excited fir tomorrow, becuase they planned a few things.

Food waste docu week

This entry is about the documentation week with the topic "Food waste". That means, we had to document one week and note, how much food we have wasted.
In the week, mentioned before, my family and me have wasted nearly no food, because we only buy and produce as much food, as we consume.

Erasmus LogoWednesday 18.1.2017

Today we had a meeting. The Students who were in Finland talked about where they lived, what they did there and how they think about Finland. At the beginning the students talked about where they lived in Kotka, who their exchange students were and how they came to Finland (they came by plane from Hamburg to Helsinki). Then they showed us pictures which were taken there and explained the finnish eating habits (which were different to german eating habits) like more meals at the day, free meals at school or much healthier food. They cooked very healthy there. So we could get a nice view about Finland, their food and their eating habits. At the end of the talk they said something about how their departure was and then we created our blogs on this website.

The meetings before:

At the two previous meetings before today, we had to make a vocabulary-book. In which are translations of food in english, german, finnish and polish. There are also pictures of the food next to the words. We also need a food pyramide and some recipies. To one meeting we had to made a logo for the Erasmus Project.
