Finnish Independence

December has been a very busy month for me therefore the posts will be coming a little later than the events themselves.

On December the 4th the Finnish kids at the school celebrated the Finnish independence that was on December the 6th. I was in charge of raising the Finnish flag together with another IB2. Our one rule was not to get the flag stuck between the rope and the pole and we practiced for it the day before. Everything went perfectly during the practice the day before but on the actual event we, of course, succeeded in getting the flag stuck between the pole and the rope. The rest of the celebrations went great and I together with another student performed Finnish "sanalaskuja" as a part of the celebration. Väinämöinen and Aino were hosts ended the celebrations with inviting everyone to eat morning porridge together.
