HUSKY FARM (LAPLAND DAY 4)


On day four,which sadly was our last day in Lapland, I was very upset to go but before our trip was officialy over, we had one more place to go which I had been longing for weeks and weeks : Husky Farm.
Now as people know me, I love animals so I was pretty excited to go to the farm and see the huskies and I only thought that I would see the huskies…I was wrong. First of all, we were given a brief information before entering the farm and directly were seated in the husky ride, and off we took for the great adventure. I did not think that the huskies would go that fast and we would be mostly flying up in the air and it was so fun to just feel that wind and watch the huskies run like it was their passion. I don’t know how the ride ended but it was like heaven and I didn’t want it to end at all. After the ride, as other people were riding we had some amazing time with the reindeers! The lovely lady working there gave us gingerbread cookies and we could kiss the reindeers by handing them over the cookies with our mouth! Now that was an experience to go through! They were so cute and their eyes were so big and bright, they were just beauty and perfection! I loved giving them lots of kisses and they were so calming and soothing. Later on when everyone had done the ride, it was time for the farm tour and we saw so many animals that were just so cool! I mean, I would never imagine petting a wolf so…and seeing the red foxes were so cute, I even got to go inside their cage which was awesome! Also, all the animals loved it when we petted them but we learned that they were used to people since they were all in movies and commercials! How cool is that! And of course as a cinema students wondering how they were filming with these animals, I learnt a lot of stuff! I’d love to act with these animals one day for sure! At the end of our trip, they actually were so nice they prepared us some warm drinks with sausages and that was so nice! The whole staff was amazing and so friendly and keen on answering our questions, I really want to go back!

Edward T. Hall’s Cultural Iceberg Model

Image
One of the things I was very much interested in when I came to Finland was the culture. As we all know and as I have written about in my previous posts, culture differs from people to people. I find culture as a very important impact in my life and growing up, I have always been through many different cultures. I must say that I do have many different influences on me caused by these cultures. For me, a culture is a new person, a different character. So, this made me take in interest in Edward Hall’s Iceberg Model. In this model, we can see that many cultures have many important opinions about different topics. For example, some cultures have religion, some have people, and some have animals. It all differs and makes every culture unique in its own way. Along this, Edward Hall really pointed out how we have a surface culture and a deep culture. These all differ very much from people to people. I find it very interesting and think that it is a good way to reflect who we are to o...

Salmiakki Ice Cream

Let’s talk about something I really love in general: Ice Cream. Now, I must say that summer has officially come (not to Finland in this case since it was basically raining and snowing a couple of days ago) but, summer is out there. And here we are still wearing coats. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have ice cream! Ice cream is life. One of the best things about summer is, you can have ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can even make your own ice cream or popsicles. I remember making these lovely strawberry popsicles last summer, they were healthy too! Overall, everyone loves a bit of ice cream. Coming to ice cream flavours, I am a great bitter chocolate, normal chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and another ice cream type they have fan. As long as it is ice cream, I have no problem gobbling it down. But…Salmiakki ice cream? We need to talk. First of all, as we had tried Salmiakki which you can check out from the video up there! It wasn’t the sweetest f...

Finnish Is Hard!

Today, I wanted to write about something I have not written in a long time but wanted to write about. Let’s talk about the Finnish language! The first thing I would like to state out is, as knowing English for many years myself, it is very easy for me to be able to predict what other languages mean and to figure out their sentences or words to their meanings. As you understand a language more, you realize that you start to understand other languages too…well that changed now but still.This year, like every other year, my goal was to learn something new which can be information wise or starting something new but this year, I learnt one very major thing : Finnish cannot be predicted. You can’t make out any words or sentences in Finnish. In fact, you can’t even remember the words you learnt in Finnish after a couple of minutes! Why is it so hard? What I have seen is the fact that Finnish has words in words which means, there are separate words, than if you want to say something that ...
