Today we visited Laurea University of Applied Sciences.  I was very glad to meet a Chinese student who was studying there.  She told me students in Finland have the oppourtunity to arrange their studies based on their interests and future career plans.

After we left Laurea we visited Helsingin Suomalainen Yhteiskoulu which is one of the best schools in Helsinki.  After talking with the vice principal Jukka Niiranen, I got the feeling that it is a way to success if you get into the school.

In the evening we were invited to a church.  Sitting in the peaceful church, enjoying “music from heaven”, it could be one of the most wonderful things in life.
