Final report from Innsbruck

Final Reports,

Hello,

Now we have been in Finland for three weeks and thought to write some feelings about the on-the-job learning.

Before we left we didn’t have a lot of information about anything. We knew only that we were going to work with kids but that’s all. We were nervous what those nine weeks are going to be.  We were also wondering what kind of accommodation we have.

Little by little things started to get clear and the accommodation was perfect too. We got to know workmates and we already miss them a lot! Also our job became familiar.

The city of Innsbruck was interesting and definitely started to feel like home rapidly.

Even though we had some adversities, we survived about everything. All together everything went well and it was an amazing experience! We are super happy that we got this opportunity to leave abroad. We got a lot of new experiences and improved our language skills.

We recommend to everybody to go abroad. You will get much wider view about world and about your career.

With huge love,

Tanja, Mandi & Tiia

Final Reports, Training Places,

Our trip to Holland for the on the job training for 6 weeks is now over and we came back to Finland on May first safely and full  of the great different experiences! And we are very thankful and proud of our selves  with the way we started and  completed our on the job training abroad! So here we are going to add some pictures from Holland taken with a few days ago 😉20160427_193042 20160429_120810 20160429_183527 IMG_4404 IMG_4420 IMG_4452

Learning Diaries,

Buenas!

This was our second week in the repection. Pinja was on the morning shift and Riina was on the evening shift. We have been doing pretty much the same things as in the first week. The only different thing is that we have a Finnish couple as customers. And on the next week we will have a 92 pax group coming from Finland. Sadly (yeah right) we will not be in the reception.

Tomorrow is our last day in that department and on Monday the fate has been cruel and put us in different departments. Riina will be working in the housekeeping (in which they do not speak English, good luck Charlie and have fun studying Spanish) and Pinja in the food & beverage. So, most likely the only day we will be able to see each other on the next week will be Wednesday, thanks to different departments and shifts.

So we had Friday and Saturday free, and we decided to use Friday as a day to explore  the secrets of Porto Pi, a big shopping center.

On the left side is a list of rooms. The yellow ones are clean and free. The other one is a check list that the workers must do during their shifts.

Changing display

Learning Diaries,

Yesterday I was making room for a new display in a glasshouse. I did this because the temperature is getting too hot for the salads. First I moved salads to one glasshouse and I kept new salads because they will be  looking nice longer.

Moved and fresh salad display.

 
I harvested some of the plants to the visitors centre. I throw the rest of the salads to compost and cleaned the pots. Then I raked and weeded the surface and washed the shelves.

We made a new friend yesterday. It was a Robin (Punarinta). When we were weeding, it came to look for a worms. It came really close and was so cute!

Monday will be free because it’s bank holiday here. Here Mayday is a bank holiday and it’s always the nearest Monday.

We have made some weekend plans. Our weekend is fully booked. On Friday we are going to museum at the Chichester, The Novium.

On Saturday we are going to Brighton, again. This time to see the beach and Brighton pier. We are interested to see Brighton pier’s amusement park.

On Sunday there is Open House at the West Dean college and we are going there. We got some free tickets to attempt the open house.

On Monday our plan is to go to Portsmouth and there to the aquarium.

Here are our colleagues.blogi9

Works from yesterday

Learning Diaries,

Yesterday the weather was really weird. We saw sunshine, really strong wind, rain and hail. All in the same day.

Me and Hanna were copping and pruning hydrangeas yesterday. We also were weeding and tidying up the border.

Tinja removed old and bad looking plants and rearranged the pot flower display.  She also removed already grown chillies so that they wouldn’t take all the energy from the plant. Removed tip growth bud from chillies so that the plant will grow sideways.

Lauantaina illalla grillattiin ja sunnuntai meni lähinnä nukkuessa 🙂. Puoliväli harjoittelusta on nyt takana ja kivaa on ollut!

Jutta

//Jeap, title sums last week pretty well 😀

Luckily I had again a free weekend. On Friday I did a little sightseeing to Honselersdijk’s centrum (this time not just to supermarket).

On Saturday evening we had a barbecue and on Sunday I slept (yeap, pretty much the whole day). Now half of the training is done and it has been really nice experience so far!

Doing something else than watching Netflix..

Learning Diaries, Training Places,

Last weekend we went to get a coffee (hot chocolate and tea) at a café and to the the cinema. We also visited local library, small and a cute one. And there was free wi-fi! <3

On Friday we went to the café at town. Me and Tinja got a hot chocolate and Janita took a tea. All shops and cafes close pretty early, around 5 so it’s a bit hard to go anywhere after work (because we leave work 16.00 and by bus we are at town around 16.30-16.45.999On Sunday we went to the cinema at the Bognor Regis (it takes 20 minutes by bus). Me and Tinja went to see Zootropolis and Janita went to see Batman v Superman. Movie tickets were cheap there, on weekends £3,50 and Monday to Friday only £2,50.
We accidentally took the sweet popcorns, never going to do it again! It was weird that they sell alcohol at the cinema..
