Sunday:

Our French friends came between Saturday and Sunday, in the middle of the night. I was really exited to meet my penpal Magali. =) At home we went straight to bed.

In the morning we had much time to chat. We went to Lappeenranta to visit a horserace. We also drove through the centrum and went to a big supermarket. In the evening we went bowling with few other Finnish and French and it was really fun ! :) After bowling we went to Linda’s place to watch a movie. There were me and Magali, Anniina H, Lisa, Anniina A, Jade, Camilla, Laurent and of course Camille, Linda’s penpal. =)

Monday:

We had a normal school day and French people followed our lessons. In the afternoon we went to the centrum and Mc Donald's with other French and Finnish students. We just hanged out and walked in the city. We also visited Valtionhotelli, Imatra’s famous hotel. We also went to see the rapids :)

Tuesday:

We had a normal school day but the French students went to Ovako factory. In the evening we went to a spa. There were many different pools and two different saunas, normal and a steam sauna. After the spa we ate very big ice creams ! :) Then we walked to Sanni’s house, which was very near the spa, and there we played cards.

Wednesday:

Today the French people went to Savonlinna and they were back in the evening, so we had a little time of our own after school. :) In the evening almost every Finnish and French people went to Koskis, a youth place in Imatra. We hanged there and also played table football. French students were very good at it ! :D

Thursday:

At Thursday the French people went to the border and we Finns had to study. :D After their trip we went baking at the school ! We baked pulla’s and korvapuusti’s. :D They were really yummy! After baking me, Magali, Lotta, Camille, Anniina H and Lisa went to my place to watch a movie.

Friday:

At Friday we went to Lappeenranta to do shopping and everything. :) We all found some clothes and French people souvenirs for home. After the trip we had time to take a nap because we were veeery tired ! :D In the evening we went to Sanni’s place. We played cards and listened to music and just hanged and chatted. We also made pizza ! =) French people had to leave between Friday and Saturday, in the night. The goodbyes were very sad and emotional.
