My home city: noisy, crowded, populated, polluted but it’s colorful, lively, active and has many opportunities. Though it’s more competitive and harsh to catch up with the pace of life.

Kajaani, I came to here since I failed to Lahti UAS. Nature is everywhere, silence/ quite atmosphere covers up every corner. I found my peaceful life in here but never expected it to be boring this much and freaking lacking opportunities.

Opportunities: jobs, social activities (AIESEC, all kinds of clubs, cultural exchange activities). I think, gaming industry is the most developed thing in here.

ConclusionConclusion

Because I need to get rid of my normal daily life. Because I need to live in another place, to change a new environment or a to flee, in whatever way, I know that I have a need.

I feel lucky to know a saying by chance “Studying abroad might be like going to a water closet. You’re in then just want to out and others might repeat the same”

In either options – hometown or abroad living, it’s like the jigsaw puzzle, we need to fill in it even though we do not know which pieces fit the holes or we are even not aware of what holes we got. Get a go, dare a change, bad or good it’s still funny~!
