So everything started when our lecturer sent us link to this video on top. This is video of Sir Ken Robinson talking about the education system. But education system is not what is on my mind, although this topic is interesting to me. The unsettling thought these days is creativity and talent that everybody have, we just have to find it.
This first video that I watched, made me curious and I went searching for more stuff from Sir Robinson. And my search ended on web site of TED (here you can findvideos of talks and presentations of different but great ideas). Sir Robinson talked for it twice now and always stressed the importance and range of human creativity and the talent that we have. He described that we can find our talent with passion and determination. When passion is forged together with the talent, only then creativity is at full range.
But all this talk about passion and talent broth me to the point of thinking what is my passion, what is the thing that I’m naturally drawn to, that I just love to do. And I’m stuck. I have been going through my life not knowing what I want. Always tried to find the thing that I enjoy and love to do, but have always ended doing something, especially education, as a competition. Because that is haw the society works these days. You are nothing if you are not at the top, but the scary thing is that I’m afraid that I have lost myself on this path.
So what is the right way to continue? I don't know. And as Sir Robinson said, we should not be afraid of being wrong, or not knowing. So, I'm not afraid, I'll just try to find myself again.
See you around :)
Probably the best part of it all is the international group of people that surround me every day. From all the corners of the world. Everybody is so different, and that is the beauty of it. Meeting new people, new cultures new habits and most importantly exploring FINLAND. From little islands as Viikinsaari is, to lakes, sauna and finish language.
Trip to Stockholm was great. It was organized by Club international TAMK. First we went to Helsinki, where we had some time (not a lot) to go around, before our ship set sails for Stockholm. I went a bit around. To some Orthodox church nearby and to the market located in the harbor. It was interesting to see some small glimpse of what Helsinki have to offer. I am planning to go for at least few days in second semester of my study. The architecture and people there are so nice. Just perfect for photos.
So that’s how we got to Stockholm. It was quite amazing :D I really like it. So yea, than we were in Stockholm. We had really little time to see all we wanted. But I made a plan. Took with me some books from library and a map. First we went around the old city center. Buildings there are awesome. I just love the old architecture. All the detail, and special pieces that buildings have. Royal palace was a bit disappointment. After that we went to Vasa ship museum. We got lucky and got bus ride for free :D Vasa ship museum is my favorite museum that I have ever been. I love history, and historical stuff. So this was just as a desert for me. PERFECT! For all of you who don’t know what Vasa museum is GOOGLE IT :P Just kidding. In this museum is the Vasa ship from 17th century. Long story short; Vasa war ship was made in time of Swedish king Gustavus. Ship sailed on 10 August 1628 and sunk after sailing around 2km. Ship was then in the see, for quite some time and there was many that tried to get it out. But they did not succeed until 1959. Now the ship was mostly reconstructed and is in the Vasa museum. If you ever end up in Stockholm, this is a must see place. After this we had to rush back to the docs, which were far. But we did get there on time, unlike some other people and were left behind. Way back from Stockholm was not half as interested as way there. They replaced Alexandra with some crappy guy on piano. But the party in disco was a bit more alive. However, ship was much more unsteady so it was very strange to walk or sleep or anything else on the ship. 
However, there is a lot to see. On the second day of the trip, some of our group went to one big ski jump a bit out of Oslo. They say the view from there is amazing. The rest of us went walking around the city. And we ended up in this big park with around 200 sculptures, made all by the same guy. I must say this is the best park ever. All the sculptures are figures in different poses. AMAZING :DThen me and Beatrix(another Erasmus) went to Viking ship museum. We had to walk there, because we did not want to pay for the bus. And it was a really nice walk. We went though some woods, nice paths and nice colors on trees. Also we passed Nordica museum (amazing building). And then Viking ship museum. I mean, you know now already that I like history and ships. And again, this was a desert for me. I could be in there and analyze for few hours. Just seeing that three ships was mind blowing. All the detail and pieces with the ships. AWESOME! Must see if you are in Oslo. 
Well this day was not over, not at all. Because we did not have place at hostel and we had bus to the airport like at 4 in the morning. So we had to stay up all night. Some went to some bar, some to McDonalc. I went to Oslo opera house to take pictures. As you can see opera house is amazing building. A lot of glass and white stone. So during the night it is well lighted, so is great for photography. Even thou I was very cold, I enjoyed some alone time.
