The time I spent with you</span><span class="s2"> all,</span><span class="s2"> became my treasure. Whene</span><span class="s2">ver</span><span class="s2"> I t</span><span class="s2">aught </span><span class="s2">Japanese culture</span><span class="s2">, you listened </span><span class="s2">very carefully</span><span class="s2"> and </span><span class="s2">always did you best to </span><span class="s2">learn</span> <span class="s2">a lot. I felt happy. I want to come back </span><span class="s2">to </span><span class="s2">Mutalan</span><span class="s2"> someday,</span> <span class="s2">and</span><span class="s2"> meet you </span><span class="s2">all </span><span class="s2">again.</span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">At first, I didn’t know if the Finnish pupils would be interested in Japanese culture, so I was a bit nervous before my first lesson. However, </span><span class="s2">I</span><span class="s2"> found that Finnish pupils were very polite, attentive, and always full of curiosity</span><span class="s2"> so that really helped me to relax. </span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">I</span><span class="s2"> have some pictures of you and your work. I will put the pictures below this short letter. Please take a look, and remember the times spent with me. </span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">I didn’t get to experience the real Finnish winter when I was there. All the teachers told me, “this is not winter, it’</span><span class="s2">s</span><span class="s2"> too warm”. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe it means I should go back to experience the real Finnish winter some</span><a name="_GoBack"></a><span class="s2">day. </span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">Currently</span><span class="s2">, I </span><span class="s2">am back in Japan and teaching</span><span class="s2"> Japanese pupils. Sometimes I talk </span><span class="s2">to </span><span class="s2">them about you </span><span class="s2">guys </span><span class="s2">and my experiences in Mutalan. They are really interested in Finland. </span><span class="s2">In the future I think some </span><span class="s2">of the </span><span class="s2">pupils will go to Finland to </span><span class="s2">learn about F</span><span class="s2">innish culture.</span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">During my free time i</span><span class="s2">n Finland, I tried </span><span class="s2">ice </span><span class="s2">swimming and sauna, </span><span class="s2">went to</span><span class="s2"> Koli </span><span class="s2">N</span><span class="s2">ational </span><span class="s2">Pa</span><span class="s2">rk and </span><span class="s2">ate</span><span class="s2"> Finnish food such as Karjalanpirakka</span><span class="s2">, Laskiaispulla and Runebergintorttu. I love</span><span class="s2">d</span><span class="s2"> all of them. </span><span class="s2">Finland became my second home even though I stayed there </span><span class="s2">for </span><span class="s2">only three months. I promise I’ll come back soon after this Corona</span><span class="s2">v</span><span class="s2">irus situation</span><span class="s2"> is over. </span></p> <p class="s3"><span> </span></p> <p class="s3"><span class="s2">Thank you to all the teachers at Mutalan school, for making such a comfortable environment to learn and teach in. </span><span class="s2">I</span><span class="s2"> also want to say a special thank you to my mentor, Jyrki, for taking me ice fishing and for taking me to a Finnish sauna for the first time. I had a lot of fun with everyone, and Finland will always have a special place in my heart.</span></p> 2020-06-16T20:42:18+03:00 https://peda.net/id/f1230e44a19 2020-05-29T12:58:27+03:00 <dl><dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125902#top" title="katakana2 (2).JPG"><img src="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125902:file/thumbnail/d6ecc908b6cebf63f34e8a383469fe04e9f70b2d/katakana2%20%282%29.JPG" alt="" title="katakana2 (2).JPG" class="thumbnail" loading="lazy"/></a></dt> <dd>katakana2 (2).JPG</dd> <dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i202005291259012#top" title="katakana2 (1).JPG"><img src="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i202005291259012:file/thumbnail/f0f88c0d5254ce458e12b9ef370b43833f7a458e/katakana2%20%281%29.JPG" alt="" title="katakana2 (1).JPG" class="thumbnail" loading="lazy"/></a></dt> <dd>katakana2 (1).JPG</dd> <dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125901#top" title="IMG_3996.JPG"><img src="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125901:file/thumbnail/a48f463e50944501f6f2da3c1cae70567f35482e/IMG_3996.JPG" alt="" title="IMG_3996.JPG" class="thumbnail" loading="lazy"/></a></dt> <dd>IMG_3996.JPG</dd> <dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125900#top" title="IMG_3994.JPG"><img src="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125900:file/thumbnail/a277706a10e32f8c24dac4d8fc151b92040162fe/IMG_3994.JPG" alt="" title="IMG_3994.JPG" class="thumbnail" loading="lazy"/></a></dt> <dd>IMG_3994.JPG</dd> <dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125859#top" title="IMG_3992.JPG"><img src="https://peda.net/joensuu/alakoulut/mutalan-koulu/erasmus/jca2/ynd2m2/nick-was-practising/i20200529125859:file/thumbnail/a279973ccf884413019d3097f42a798196ccf5fc/IMG_3992.JPG" alt="" title="IMG_3992.JPG" class="thumbnail" loading="lazy"/></a></dt> <dd>IMG_3992.JPG</dd> </dl> 2020-05-29T12:58:27+03:00
