Before I come to Finland, I got information about Finns and their culture from Internet. One of the most important characteristics of Finns attracting my attention is their trustworthiness. I had no idea but this made me happy.

Describe

I want to mention about my some experiences. When the weather is getting colder, everyone started to wear jacket, coats. When they come to university, they hang their jacket in the entrance of school. I was so surprised because we are doing this at our home. Then I observed little time then they just left their jacket and went to their courses comfortably. I told my friend that can you imagine that they can hang their jacket like their home.

Another day, I was preparing my presentation for chemistry course then I had to change my computer. I forgot to send my presentation to myself via e-mail. Then I changed my computer and noticed that I forgot to send after a couple hours. I was so scared because I thought that my presentation is deleted when I turn off the computer. I wanted to check then I went to computer room. I noticed that I forgot my hat over there and nobody did not take it my hat during couple hours. I was surprised and I saved my presentation, too. J

Interpret

I think that this is so common in Finland. You can lose your some stuff and you can find easily. In my country, it is difficult, because you can forget you stuff at school and you cannot find again. For example, if I hang my jacket in entrance of university, someone can take and go freely. I guess that also is related to Finland´s population. While the population of Finland is almost 5.5 million people, In Istanbul the population is almost 25 million. Hence, I cannot leave my jacket in entrance. Besides, we always forget our hat, pen etc. at university. We cannot find our stuff again. I´m sure that if my friends have this situation in foreign country, they will so surprised, too. It is not so common in Istanbul.   

According to my research, there are 3300 students at Centria University of Applied Science. 500 of these students are international students (degree and exchange ones). At my university there are almost 15000 students in only one campus. These numbers  make everything clear.

Evaluate

In the beginning, I was not leaving my jacket. Now, I can leave without any fair. I have already experienced this information. I noticed that this is truth. I’m glad to be in Finland. I can trust everyone without any doubt. I did not lose anything. Even if I lose, I’m sure that I will find it in where I left or lost.
