Diesmal war unser Ziel der 50.000 Hektar große Nationalpark „Schärenmeer“. Dieser besteht aus 46.800 Hektar Wasserfläche und 3.200 Hektar Landfläche, die von Tausenden von Inseln und Schären gebildet werden. Für alle Nationalparks gelten strenge Regeln für das Anlegen von Booten, das Übernachten und die Nutzung von offenen Feuern. Aus dem Informationsmaterial ist klar erkennbar, was auf welchen Inseln erlaubt ist und was nicht. Die Feuer und Übernachtungsplätze sind komplett mit Holz, Werkzeug und Toilette ausgerüstet. Alle Plätze sind sehr gepflegt und sauber. Es gilt die Regel, dass kein Abfall auf der Insel verbleibt. Die Entsorgung von Müll ist in Finnland kein Problem, da überall (Parkplätzen, Stränden usw.) große Abfallbehälter stehen. Während unseres Aufenthaltes wurde die Insel „Högland“ von Parkrangers „besucht“. Für das Seekajak und das Kanu bezahlten wir für das Wochenende 60... read more

Well here I am again writing my next blog. I tried uploading pictures of the Paimio sanatorium, but my internet cut out halfway through the uploading process, i'll try getting them up again today along with a few other pictures from Turku. Well it's coming up to two months that i'll have been in Finland...and boy is it flying by. Recently i've started new lessons at my school and I've been able to experience some new things about the finnish culture. I'll first pick up where I left off in my last entry. I'll first start out with my school, Paimion Lukio (aka Paimio's High School). In lukio there are ten 45 minute periods to the day, starting at 8am with 10 minute breaks in-between each period. However there aren't usually classes in the first period ... read more

Saturday This morning I was home alone again because Emma had to go to work and all my friends from Naantali were tired because of the party last night, so I txted Max. I went for a run, and when I was half way around my usually loop Max txted me back saying he wasn’t busy and I could come over! YAY PAIMIO! I ran home and showered, then rode my bike in the rain to the bus stop and caught the nest bus to Turku! There I walked around for half an hour waiting for the next bus to Paimio. The trip to Paimio took about 40 minutes and it was FULL of farms, barns, trees shaped like people, and cows. When I was near the city center I saw Max out my window and ... read more

Hi everyone! I can't believe I've already been in Finland for almost a month! So much has happened already and so I decided to take the day off today to start this blog. I'll try to update this blog as often as I can with new happenings when I get the time. However you can also feel free to e-mail me and I will try to respond to them asap. My e-mail address that I'm using abroad is tothemax_11@hotmail.com. I've looked around this blog page a little bit so I'm going to be trying to upload some photos, and it even looks like I can do some video bloging on here, so that may be something I'll try in the future. Anyways, enough of that, lets get to what's been going on in Finland. I arrived ... read more
