Day 8 – 21/04/26

In the morning, it was another calm school day likethe previous ones. We went to class, did our work, and then each of us went home. Later, we got ready to go to an ice hockey match, the semifinals between the two local teams from Tampere. When we arrived, the stadium was impressive, with a capacity of around 10,000 people. During the game, there were different performances, such as restaurant promotions, professional ice skating shows, and music. The match was very exciting, full of speed and adrenaline, even more than football in Spain. Enrique supported Ilves, while Ignacio supported Tappara, the two rival teams in the city. The game ended 3–2 in favor of Tappara, but everyone enjoyed it, even if their team lost. After the match, each of us bought a shirt of our team and then went home to rest. On the way back, we met a group of university students from Cantabria who were on Erasmus in Hervanta, and we talked with them about university life and the differences between Spain and Finland.
