No bus card, no toothbrush, no extra clothes, no homework. I could make a call and pay 40 euros to have my door unlocked. Or I could wait until Monday to pick up a spare key from the housing office. This would involve more walking and less comfort, but it would be free. Uzair added that it could be an adventure, just hanging out in Tampere, getting together with friends, maybe watching a movie. And Sunday turned out to be immensely fun. The Spanish guys, Nana (my neighbor from Russia) and Uzair met at Koskikeskus for pizza. Pizzerias are everywhere here, and you can get a whole plate for only 6.50. That is the same price as a beer at a nice pub. After lunch, we went to Cafe Europa and stayed there for a few hours. Albert, Uzair and I decided to make soup together and then to watch a movie: Adam's Apple, a Danish dark comedy (from imdb: "A neo-nazi sentenced to community service at a church clashes with the blindly devotional priest.)
We went for a walk in the soft winter forest, and met Shizuka, back from a few days in Serbia, at the bus station at 1:30 a.m.
Monday morning, I walked to the TOAS housing office to pick up a spare key. Detective fiction class started a few minutes later, so I had to wait until the afternoon to finally enter my room and then bring the key back to TOAS.
Tuesday I went to Helsinki for the opening day of Docpoint 2012, the Documentary Film Festival. There was a "A Wall is a Screen" event, where a group was led to different locations to watch short films. It was an amazing experience, full of creativity and inspiration. In my next post I will give you all the most interesting details!
Four months left in Finland. I wonder how I'll decide to spend it!
