These past five days I have spent in Kokkola. In this city,
I have received training for people who carry the European Voluntary Service
(acronym in English, EVS).
The trip went pretty well considering we did not say
anything and I know Finnish trains but as in Spain use them enough, I'm used
to.
When I arrived in Kokkola I realized that all EVS traveling
in the same train station Kokkola suffered an invasion.
We were seated in booths upon arrival. As for the rooms, it
was a little overwhelming because there were five in one room. We could not
move.
Speaking a bit of training, the truth, I had some pretty
high expectations about what there was to learn about the EVS and to be honest,
I did not learn anything. But the journey, of course, worth it, I had the
opportunity to meet many people and especially Laura and Anna, with whom I
enjoyed it quite recent days.
Also very interesting but brief the two classes of Finnish,
were pretty good. And of course, the food, everyone agreed on the same thing:
"We spent the day eating."
In summary, educational level on EVS I have not learned
anything, but I had the chance to meet new people and go a little bit my
favorite Finnish transport, the train.
