I am Amukelani Floyd Hlungwane, one of the two students fromArethabeng primary who got an opportunity to visit Mikkola Koulu in Finland.We arrived Finland on the 29th of August and stayed until the 07th ofSeptember.There were so many things I liked when I was in Finland. I likedmuseums, school meal system, clean environment without littering and the factthat it is a crime free country. I have learnt few words in Finnish; mita (what),mina rakastan senoa (I love you), yo (yes), uamenta (good morning), mita kullu(you are welcome) and kiitos (thank you). I think this friendship will give allother students an opportunity to visit Finland. I wish to stay in Finland andattend school there.I got an opportunityto go to Lappeenrantawhen I was in Finland andwe were taken to Saimaacanal, and cruise for onehour. I met new friendsand took a photo of them.They are from left: Wemen,Jesse, myself, Nthabiseng,Kerttuli and Marja.LÄHETTÄJÄ: Suomi-Etelä-Afrikka-seura ry, PL 535, 00101 Helsinki
