Something to share from my friends

Here's something to share from Sasi, who is currently doing his industrial training in Finland, which is situated at the far North. The weather there is currently quite cold, about 4 to 5 celcius. The time there is about 5 hours slower than Malaysia's. The currency there is in euro. The price there is almost the same as Malaysia, except that it's euro instead of ringgit malaysia(RM). For example, a cup of soft drinks, cost 1.5 euro.

He's currently working under a university. Most of the time, he only need to go to the office when meetings are held, which is quite flexible. Though the people there do speak English, the products there are written in their language.

According to him, there are plenty of beautiful flowers there, which cannot be found in Malaysia. Hope that he can show me some photos of it soon ^^ Their shopping complex also differ from us in some way. For example, a shopping complex for food only, another shopping complex for clothes only. The competition is indeed very intense, but good for consumers as they can compare and get a better price. However, if one wants to buy many stuff, they will have to travel from one shopping complex to another to get their stuff. These complex are not located near to each other.

Here's something to share for my classmates who went to Japan for a 7 days homestay early this month. They spent around 5 days with their host family in Nagoya, which means that they do not meet each other again until their trip to Kyoto. Their host families were very friendly and their meals were well taken care by their host family in Nagoya. I heard that it's very tasty and nice ^^ Their host families even bought them souvenirs to be taken back to Malaysia. So sweet...

The places that they visited during the stay was done according to their host family. Thus, the places that they visited was different. Of course, visiting temples is a must. Charms were sold as well, but according to Poong, they did not sell the type which have bells, like the one in the anime. The ones sold there cost about 300 yen, which is about RM10.

Most of them spent much only when they went to Kyoto as meals were on their own. The set meals there is about 600-1000 yen. How much they spent differ from each other. If do not buy much things, it cost about RM700 only. Of course, if buy more, spent more.
