Picture: Snow Rugby
My trip in Finland has been filled with all sorts different things. For example, my family and I were told about this parade were the seniors of the local high schools in costume throw candy at the people watching. There were about one thousand kids in trucks going about the town. It was kind of chaotic with candy flying every which way. The kids were quiet, but a little rebellious. It was a very different experience for the whole family.
I have also seen some very different sports. Today I went to see rugby played in the snow. Near us in California they have a rugby team, but this was very different. First off, the teams are considerably smaller. Also, they wore long pants and long-ts. When you walk to the field they give out free sausages that are made out of elk! It was the best sausage that I have ever had. They had cheese in it too, all of that from elk which is totally strange.
All in all this week has been filled with new experiences and there are for sure more to come.
