English Circle

I joined the English Language Circle.  It's for people who want to speak English.  Ironically I am the only native English speaker in the group, but it makes me feel appreciated :)

There is a good mix of people.  Many Europeans: French, Italian, Russian, Finnish, Spanish, Greek and some Middle Eastern, Japanese, Korean, and African.

So far we've played some games and watched a movie.

Just a random pic from a thrift shop

Ruissalo Orienteering

Went orienteering today.  You get a map and a compass and try to find different places.  I was in a group with 2 classmates from India and 2 Germans.  Weather was overcast and it rained a little but it was still fun.  

Trampled around the forest and saw a lot of mushrooms.  Lots of moss made the rocks slippery and covered many holes but thats part of the fun :)
