Day 10 – 23/04/26

After waking up, we went to school, but we didn’t stay for the whole day. Jimi’s mother picked us up mid-morning so we could visit some museums, which close early, so it’s better to go in the morning. First, we went to a museum where we visited different sections. The first one was about football, showing the history of various national teams and clubs, with decorations inspired by this year’s World Cup. Then, we explored a video game section, where we discovered that some famous game developers are from Finland. There was also an area about radio, explaining how it worked in the past and how it has evolved over time. After that, we visited two of the most interesting sections, one about Finnish wildlife, showing the animals and how they live in different seasons, and another about ice hockey, with trophies, famous players, and even a place where you could shoot a puck at a virtual goal. Later, we went to another museum focused on old textile factory machines, where they explained how they worked and even showed their internal parts. To finish the visit, we went up the tallest tower in Tampere, about 120 meters high, where we enjoyed amazing views of the city, the surrounding towns, the large lakes, and Finland’s nature. To end the day, we watched a hockey match (Tappara vs Ilves) at a friend’s house. The game ended 5–1 for Tappara, and after that, we went home to rest.
