Work or free time? Quietly and slowly

Let me briefly describe my working week abroad; on Monday, I was delivering food to the branches of our school with two students. The driver, Robi, is very talkative(for Finnish) and we also stayed in touch, the other is quiet and hardly speaks English. On Tuesday, Iza and I were both delivering food, and we were driven by a Finn, Vili. Like most people, he is very quiet, but he answered our questions in perfect English. I and Iza talk a lot and most of the time in Slovene but sometimes comment about something funny in English so that some foreign students can also smile. We also worked with Vili on Wednesday and I have to admit he is one of the best drivers in Finland I have ridden with. He is calm and does everything thoughtfully, logically, and with quality. (He is a quiet version of me, I think).

 

Robi, Iza and I went bowling in town last night. He was surprised and very happy that Iza and I paid for the track and drinks, as they usually share the cost. We learned even more about Finnish characteristics and culture, school, and people. We also described Slovenia to him and he was extremely enthusiastic about the description. We praised him for being one of the few students who like to talk to us, even live. He said it was a compliment for him and that we were great company. We walked towards his home, laughed, and exchanged some adventures. He invited us for a drink on Friday and maybe for a party if of course there will be one.

For the weekend, Iza and I travel to Lahti, visit classmates and explore this city. Next week we will work in a transport company, where we are supposed to have a lot of adventures and new knowledge.
