Today was more work and meetings. I think we accomplished a lot by coming here and both sides had a lot to learn. Everyone here is super nice and humble.
I did a little bit of shopping and walking around, but unfortunately I have not had the chance to see much of the town. Although Turku has been named the Cultural Capital of Europe for 2011, most of their festivals happen in the summer, much like in Edmonton. The weather here is also strangely familiar.
I also get the feeling that people in Turku don't embrace the muumi culture as much as I initially thought. I think they may feel the same way towards Muumiworld as Romanians do towards Dracula-land. Still, I purchased some :)
Off to Copenhagen tomorrow morning at 5am! I will admit that I'm ready to come home at this point.
Excerpt from the Turku hotel guide:
"Facts and Fables - #3 Women from Turku are beautiful - Fact. Watch the cityscape. All men are handsome too, and children more intelligent than average."
Love,
Gabi
