Tamperes on suur lumi

See vahetustudengi elu on siin põnev, kogu aeg toimub midagi. Eile oli meil "pubides roomamine" (pub crawl), mille raames me külastasime Tampere kesklinnas erinevaid pubsid ja baare. Nimekirjas oli 8 erinevat, aga me jõudsime külastada neist 5 (mis oli isegi hea saavutus, kuna mõned käisid ainult kahes). Esimene oli mingi pubi, mille nime ma enam ei mäleta, kus oli palju ruumi. Kokteilid olid hea hinnaga, seega tellisin minagi ühe, mille nimi oli Humanoidi (kõlab põnevalt, eksole). Kuid oh häda - see oli lagritsa maitsega! Kurat võtaks neid soomlasi oma lagritsaga :P Õnneks oli lagritsa maitse piisavalt nõrk, niiet ma suutsin selle ikkagi ära juua. Vähemalt ma tean nüüd, mida vältida.

Kuna hinnad on siin ikka soolasevõitu, siis ma joomisesse eriti ei panustanud. Ale baaris, nagu nimigi ütleb, olid ainukesena enam-vähem talutavad hinnad. Seal me võtsime kõik ühed shotid, teised mingi lagritsa oma, aga mina võtsin Pehmisshoti, mis ühe kohaliku baarikülastaja sõnade järgi oli rohkem nagu naistele mõeldud. Ja tõepoolest - see kujutas endast shoti, millest pool oli mingisugune magus mustikanaps ja teine pool jäätisekokteil vms. Mmmm...see maitses küll hästi :D
Peale kõiki neid pubisid läksid enamik ööklubisse, aga mina kui põline mitte-ööklubi-inimene läksin mõndade teistega hoopis koju. Järgmine nädal on meil mingisugune vahetustudengitele mõeldud ööklubipidu ja sinna ma ausalt lähen. Siis on mul vähemalt järgmiseks kuuks ajaks isu täis kah (mitte et mul üleüldse oleks suur tahtmine kluppi minna, aga noh - see on peer pressure :P)

Täna oli meil Get-Together Party, kus ülikooli koor laulis meile ja improvisatsioonikoomikute punt Jadajada tegi meile nalja (nad olid tõesti päris naljakad :D). Parim osa selle ürituse juures - loomulikult tasuta söök! :D
Pärast käisime väikesel jalutuskäigul ümber Ahvenisjärvi. Kõik oli väga kaunis, sest et siin on praegu suur lumi :)

The life of an exchange student is very interesting, all the time something is going on. Yesterday we had a pub crawl, during which we visited different pubs and bars in Tampere city center. We had a list of 8 pubs, but we only made it to 5 (which was a good effort, because some only visited two). First was a pub where the coctails had quite a good price, so I ordered one too. It was called Humanoidi. But oh no - it tasted like licorice! Damn those finns and their licorice :P Luckily the taste wasn't so terrible and I was able to finish my drink. At least now I know what to avoid.
The prices are rather high here, so I wasn't putting much effort and money into drinking. The Ale bar was the only one that had more or less normal prices. There we took some shots, others had some licorice ones, but I took Pehmisshot, which (according to some local guy in the bar) was more of a women's drink. And so it was - this was a shot that consisted of two layers, one was some blueberry schnapps and the other was ice cream shake or something like that. Mmm...it tasted really good :D
After all those pubs, most people went to the night club, but as I'm really not into night clubs, I went home instead with some other guys. Next week we have some party in a night club and there I will go. After that I'll probably lose my appetite for nightclubs for at least a month (actually, I have no real wanting to go to night clubs at all, but you know - it's peer pressure :P)

Tonight we had a Get-Together Party, where the university choir sang and some improv comics did some funny things (and they really were funny :D). The best part of this event - free food of course! :D
After that we took a little walk around Ahvenisjärvi. Everything was so beautiful, because we have big snow here ;)
