</tbody></table>Today is December 6th, Finland's Independence Day.<br />
It's a National holiday. It is not a celebration day like our Canada day, but more like a serious memorial day when people pay homage to war veterans and ancestors whose sacrifices made Finland independent.<br />
<br />
There are Flag Days in finland, (days on which you are supposed to raise flag in your backyard) and Independence day is one of those days. Almost every houses in my neighbourhood has a super tall flag pole in their backyard. The flag can also be raised if there's a family celebration like wedding, and a half way raised flag means death in the family.<br />
School closed early on the 5th, like many other public places and stores, and the flag was up.<br />

Every Finnish students eat free lunches at school, and so do the teachers. And so do I!!! I've been eating at school, and it's a great way to discover everyday of Finnish life. This meal normally consists of salad, potato, meat or fish and gravy or sauce, the dried bread and butter, and endless supply of milk.<br />

They used to cook various food in this "canteen" (they call a cafeteria "canteen"), but nowadays, there's a central kitchen in Rauma that distributes same food to all the schools in the region.<br />
<br />
I wanted to experience something very Finnish for this Independence day celebration, so I went to see Rauma Men's Choir on the eve of the Independence day.<br />

In the Rauma Hall, I was the only Asian, one of very few dressed in colour (pink!), and one of few "younger" generation among the elderly crowd. This hall has over 400 seats and it was packed.<br />

The shy Asian girl has placed herself in the front center of the seats, so I got an excellent view to enjoy the event. It started with a march of the flags, men's choir, break (coffee and dessert time), veterans' choir, more men's choir, Jean Sibelius' Finlandia, finishing with the national anthem.<br />

</tbody></table>On the Independence day, after 6pm, Finns put two candles in each window as tradition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPp_8u1JJGJdhsFXJFoyH2Cy2uOFJnvc9whue6BFLKLsJWZnV_AAvf7zxO2Nzr0Jb-hyWnJqxZwrwf_qc0qz4oReMYzJwQqIzr9j_tbdeJPgrwN5XRifFgfb7JSkeB3_BHAdH_1DGFErw/s1600/IMG_1771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPp_8u1JJGJdhsFXJFoyH2Cy2uOFJnvc9whue6BFLKLsJWZnV_AAvf7zxO2Nzr0Jb-hyWnJqxZwrwf_qc0qz4oReMYzJwQqIzr9j_tbdeJPgrwN5XRifFgfb7JSkeB3_BHAdH_1DGFErw/s640/IMG_1771.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
During the war, the two candles in the window meant that "this house welcomes Finnish soldiers". So, it was a secret sign for sheltering Finnish soldiers from the Russians.<br />
<br />

Another interesting Independence day tradition is Presidential Independence Day reception. It's a party for 2000 invited guests at the Presidential Palace. It's broadcasted on TV and I was told that most Finns watch it as a tradition. I think it's like Oscar, so as of tomorrow, I will see newspapers and magazines filled of best and worst dresses of the night.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">December 1st!! Christmas calendar poked! (local newspaper gave this for free last week!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't believe it's been already 3 weeks! Time flies, and I don't know if it's a good thing.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have committed myself to do a collaboration project here at a school, now I really wish I had more time. But then, I'm going with the flow (time flow) and it keeps my indecisiveness away from me, so it might be a good thing in the end.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a sculpture frame left fleshless for a long time at Uotila secondary school. It was made by a local artist Tom Osmosen, and apparently there was paintings on wood panels installed in the triangular frames. The paintings didn't stand Rauma's weather and started to rot badly, so school had to take them down. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was invited to Raumars, I was also invited to do a project to "complete" this sculpture frame with the school students. This project has given me unexpected challenges (thus, insomnia!), but this week, I started "intensive physical work" on the project, and I can say all is going very well so far.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow! it's been 17 days since I laid my feet on Rauma's ground! And, my apologies, I've been procrastinating to post updates on my Finnish life. My project at Uotila school has given me unexpected challenges, I've been stressed out. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rauma is getting ready for Christmas, and there were lots of happenings on Saturday morning, like Children's choir and Santa's parade. So, I set my alarm to 9am, but the stress has given me insomnia and apparently I slept through my alarm. Duh! I was really looking forward to see the traditional "gnomes' march" at the market after the Santa parade!! So.... I was very bitter when I found out it was almost noon when I woke up. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are Raumar's two bikes stationed in the backyard. The red bike is much higher than the green, but long story short, I couldn't find key to the green bike, so I started riding the red one. Now, I have both keys, but I'm already used to ride to red bikes, so here I am with the red bike. Plus, the red beret is so cute on this red bike! (What a great idea for a warm and facy seat cover! Thanks to Hannele ^_^)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I normally ride to get to a point B from point A. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday was so sunny, and I'm already late for the gnome's parade, so I decided to enjoy my ride. And, I found a lovely little bridge that I never noticed. </span><br />

I want to show you this sauna's facility as it was designed by Alvar Aalto, an infamous Finnish architect and designer whose work includes architecture, furniture, textiles, and glassware. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This sauna is called Jokisauna, which means river sauna. It's located in Kauttua, about 40 km east of Rauma. This town is known for paper mills, and this sauna was originally built for its workers as sauna and laudry facilities. Nowadays, it serves general public with it's two saunas (women's and men's), a meeting room, an art gallery, and a design shop.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

It was <span class="artisti_kuvaus">€2.65. The pastry in the bag looked so yummy and sweet. It's called '</span><span class="artisti_kuvaus">voisilmäpulla' (</span><span class="artisti_kuvaus">Butter Eye Buns). It's supposed to be a "common sweet bread here in Finland with a devilishly sugary eye in the middle", but it wasn't sweet at all. In fact, I expected some kind of sweet filling inside, but this one was just plain and dry. I thought I picked up a not-so-good version of this pastery, but I also had it at the school where I do a project (will explain tomorrow), and I don't think I like it. haha.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I couldn't sleep at all during the night after Day 001, so I ended up going to bed like past 7am. When I woke up, outside looked just like when I peeked through the window before I went to bed. It was dark. ...yes.... I lost my Day 002.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So, today, I was going to do the ultimate tour of the Old Rauma, but I got a call from Hannele (residency producer) that the apartment is ready.

Now, I want to share some odd things I noticed. Today was really cold, I think it was like 3°C, but felt much colder. People are saying that it's been warm and that normally there are snow around this time. So, I'm glad some trees still have leaves dangling on their branches. I felt like they were holding on them for me to see it. Kiitos (<i>KEE-toss</i>, thank you) trees! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmEEsQGKuH5GyHjzuFrwN-py3abG6qVv3JSnCVo1_Wok1cUt_Qh58N4s74GXgCukPY7jUUBFPfHhfbdP257a5uMV3vxcuZGQXYt9gdC8DpRhxKDy4FL8xeBJbguBfKVUJBLa9tDYqsF8Q/s1600/IMG_1463.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmEEsQGKuH5GyHjzuFrwN-py3abG6qVv3JSnCVo1_Wok1cUt_Qh58N4s74GXgCukPY7jUUBFPfHhfbdP257a5uMV3vxcuZGQXYt9gdC8DpRhxKDy4FL8xeBJbguBfKVUJBLa9tDYqsF8Q/s640/IMG_1463.JPG" width="424" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
