Expectation before our arrival
We had a lot of expectatives about our project and the trip. Some of them were the worry if CNPq would aprove the project and if our institutes would aprove our liberation. We didn’t know about Visa, accommodation and scholarship. The situation before our arrival in Finland was very hard, considering the short time for organizing everything (less 1 month).
But, after all, it was good and we could come to Finland, successfully, meanly because the HAMK’s staffs helped us a lot. We are very thankfull!
The expectation before my arrival was the contact with the culture of a first world country, learn the best practices of the education system applied in the schools in the three levels of education. To observe good conservation practices of the environment and good security practices at work.

Food Experience
We thought how could be our experience with finish food. We had some previous idea, and when we arrived we found some food similarities here. In the main aspects, the food isn’t so different from our. Despite the differences, we had so many good impressions about the finnish food. The finnish people eat a lot of vegetable (meanly salads), fruits and hunting meat (elk, reindeer…). It was very different for us, in addiction that the most of us doesn’t like vegetables! Finnish people eat more salad than brasilians. So, we hope to lose some weight (kkk).
About food in Brazil, we use different kind of spices, and our basic dish for lunch is rice and beans, beef, chicken, pork or fried egg, tomato, lettuce or cabbage, cassava flour and pepper sauce ... In Finland I could see a basic dish for lunch consists of lettuce salad with three choices of sauce, pasta lasagna, pork sausage, pork meatballs, fried chicken and pizza with ketchup.
By the way, we just can’t understand how can you live without barbecue? We miss brazilian barbecue a lot...
Relationship with the Nature
We knew about the Finnish Nature, that it was very strong and beaultiful. But when we came here we were very impressed with the nature and its relationship with the citizens. The finnish people are careful with the environment, they love their lakes, trees, flowers, animals and respect their space in the world.
Most of finnish houses have a big yard, housebird and horticultural. We noticed that a lot of finnish people have dogs and stroll with them on the streets and parks. The dogs’ breed are different comparing to brazilians´ dogs. Here, we saw a lot of Labrador, Akita, Husk… In Brazil we usually see “Vira-lata” (a mix of differents dog’s breed) and poodles.
The finnish trees are different too. They are seasoned, and in the winter they are without leaves and flower. In Brazil we don’t have wheather variation and the trees and flowers are the same throughout the year.
We saw that finnish people like to do sport related to nature, for example trecking, running, bike and skying. It is very interesting for us, because we could do this for the first time.
Life’s aspects
We had to buy some clothes to adapt our life in Finland. Some of us bought the cotlhes in Second Hand Shops, and they were cheaper than in Brazil.
In our accommodation there are plenty of fire alarms… And the electrical sockets are different, even the voltage (+-230 V). In some regions in Brazil are 220 V or 127 V.
The windows usually don’t open. The sun is weak, and the finnish people love it. We even don’t use sunscreen. If we were in Brazil we were sweating…
Most of finnish houses doesn’t have gate. The distance between the houses are small, and there are not walls separating the house. Trust is in everywere!
HAMK
HAMK is a great university with different courses and great infrastructure. We were welcome and we are having a good experience here. The teacher are very attentive and the classroons are excellents to study and work.
Here, we can find different restaurants, include Indian restaurant.

Expectation in Education
Finland is a dream in Brazil when we think in Education, all the examples about how to do a good education is about Finland. We see article about Finnish Education, in our pedagogical course an we can see that Finland is the way to do something better in education. And before we came here we were so anxious to see in loco the Finnish way to do education, and our coworkers required us to learn a lot things to send to Brazil, they are/were in expectation about the Methods.
