From left: Gabriel Leca (inbound from France), Augusto Rocha (inbound from Brazil), Suvi, Me and Jessica Cha (inbound from America). We had lunch at "Rosso" a popular Italian restaurant chain in Finland.
Playing some footbag with Gabriel and Augusto at the train station! Oh yeah, I grabbed a train back to Lahti. I had to go back earlier than my family because I went to a concert in the evening at Sibeliustalo! My Rotary student counsellor/date for the 'old dance' in February/good friend Tiina Lehti asked me if I wanted to go with her family. It was my first time inside the auditorium at Sibeliustalo and it was great!
This is the main 'reception hall' area of Sibeliustalo. It's location is great: right on the harbour with the lake Vesijärvi serving as a fantastic backdrop. It was really dark in the auditorium and I snapped a quick picture before I found out you aren't allowed to do so... but it didn't turn out well so I won't post it. But here is a shot of Tiina and her family who brought me to the show:
Front left: Petteri (Tiina's brother), Tiina's mother, Minna(?) (Tiina's step sister), Ville(?) (Tiina's step brother), Tiina.
Middle row: Me, Tiina's aunt (who is also my biology teacher at school)
Back row: Tiina's step father, Tiina's uncle.
The picture was taken on the stairs leading to the second level of the auditorium. Oh, and the show we saw was "Semmarit". Here is a link to their website in english.

Click on the 'choir' tab to see their names and photos. It's a very entertaining show, focusing mainly on vocals but also including some guitar, percussion, great lighting and backdrops and humor.
Overall, it was a very busy day! I'm just relaxing today, the past week in general has been pretty full.
Keep checking in to see some pictures from my host family's house as well as my outlook on my Exchange after 2 months in Finland!
