A real HUMAK event.
Every year autumn and spring all of HUMAK staff gather in a nice countryside place to talk about several topics.


This Year Peurunka was the place to talk about "good practices"in their work.
Group works and tasks helped to brainstorm and nice meals treat the exhausted staff.
The university has more than 140 employee , it is a difficult thing to have all of them in one place , but the organizers managed.
They allowed me to join , which was a nice experience , especially that one of the group spoke english so I could think about their topics as well.
Mood was definetely cheerful , the place close to the nature and everybody reliefed a bit after stress of everydays.
I started a finnish course lately , which makes my life complicated but I learn a lot every single day so it is really worth it.This course is held in Kaapali - The Cable factory.I can suggest to everybody to visit there.Lot of museum and cultural events during weekdays and weekend, special cultural workshops and courses can be found there.

Next weekend will be a celebration , Vappu comes which is a big day and day off    Finland.plenty of drinking and fun makes it even more remarkable.I do not have experience about Vappu in Helsinki but will tell you later.

Till that  , EMMA museum in Espoo my next tip, especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays!

OF course Peurunka located beside a lake(one of the thousands).Was so beautiful..
Employees could win awards if their practices were extremely useful , so they did!

BUT it is beacuse I am very busy here , which is a good thing.Last weeks I had great tasks connecte to event organizing , and I enjoyed it very much!Also started to make assignment to my home institutions which is pretty much necessary.
I also discovered the bauty of 3D movies.Of course I watched some movie at home in 3D but Alice in wonderland an amazing with special effects!Also visited EMMA museum but could not get in , so i will have one more round.Design museum is one of the plans for the weekend.I also experienced Helsinki nightlife , with live music in a bar and in a huge party , but i could only tell details in person.Anyway , great city I love Helsinki even more than before so intercultural , modern , fresh and...cold,still cold in comparison with other capitals but in few weeks, the nicest spring weather will be on plate I hope.This week I start a finnish course every day after work, 4 hours intensive practise.this will be tiring but definetely worth to know at least basic finnish.Thursday and Friday will be fun, there will be an event for HUMAK`s personell , which means all of us go to the countryside to talak about quality in each others jobs.Soon Vappu is coming , again a lot of fun and my birthday.

Catch up soon,xoxo

My last post was before the Easter Holiday .It was a five -day holiday.Sadly , I did not really have Easter feeling.In Hungary most of the people celebrate Easter somehow.If they are religious they go the church every day of the celebration , if they are not still do something traditional , for example paint eggs , cook delicious Easter meal..My flatmate went to his hometown ,and I did not have any idea what to do in the weekend.I decided to write few assignment to my home institution , but the inernet connection disappeared after few day in the flat , so it was impossible to do it.On Friday my hungarian friend Agi called me to go to the centre , to drink a little bit in a bar, she invited two of her friends from their finnish class , it was nice to get to know more people here in Helsinki.I got home very late rather early in the morning.I took walk several time in the weekend even tough the weather was rainy and foggy.I went to vote on sunday.There is going to be election in Hungary this weekend , but it is possible to vote in the embassay  of your country in other cities or countries as well.So I went to the hungarian embassay and vote , now it is my fellows turn back at home.
Sunday evening I met wirh Russian people in the centre and on monday I met with my indian friend , and we spent the whole day together.International -multicutural.This words were so distant for me before I was an erasmus exchange student , but now these are essential and it is so natural to meet with people from various cultures.
This Tuesday we had a short meeting with my supervisor here in the office , and pointed some future tasks.This will involve event organizing , which totally suits me.Right now I am working on an event plan , for a close HUMAK event.This is interesting , because it seems to e so easy but when you have to actually implement it , it is getting more complicated.So let´s get back to work ,hope you had a nice holiday!

Weekends go faster than ever.
On Friday I visited in a Contemporary Art Museum in Meilahti with Vale and liked the exhibition with the students of Helsinki School very much.
The topic was the time-passing.The young artists made videos and photographs about their view.
It was very interesting to see different visions and techniques.I liked a series of portraits about children with ageless faces.You could not even guess when did they live , in the 1930s or nowadays.
After four rooms of photos and installations I felt again that is possible to understand contemporary art.Especially that all of the artist explained in a short video the motivation of the pieces they shared with the audience.
I advise to visit , it is  refreshing , young and understandable , full of with postive impulse (even the sad ones had the positive side).

Helsinki School , Video&Photo NOW

Wonderful weather yesterday in Helsinki.I felt I must go outside and take some pictures , walking around and enjoy the sun.The bay is not fully covered with ice and snow  any more, soon we will see blue sky and  sea.I hope at least.
I discovered and intersting part of Helsinki last year , it is called the design district.You can find small shops with designed furniture,jewelry ,clothes or any piece of life-style.Also there are small galleries with modern art and showrooms.I like that part of Helsinki , it feels  very trendy and fresh and the you can emphasize that everything is the part of culture , and the concept of culture is so wide.You do not have to think to do something cultural because you live in culture , every day whatever you do.I truly suggest you to visit this streets and staring on shopwindows for a while.
