Me and my husband got up very early this morning since he wanted to read his documents and I didn’t want to waste a single minute in this amazing city.  It was unbelievably quiet, peaceful and pleasant in the morning, walking along the path, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the scenery.

Henrika and Ms Yang took me to the student union of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.  After the introduction and discussion, I was surprised on how much effort Finland has put into its education system.  A freshman tutoring program will be provided to every student for free, even to all of the international ones!  Finland is a country that enjoys such a high level of education.
