Being an exchange student includes seeking for things to do during the endless free times ( especially when you only need a passing grade and your courses are ten times easier than those at home). Anyway, we went to the swimming pool and decided to have some fun.
Like all other facilities in Finland, the pool comes with a sauna, a nude sauna. Also, there are many elderly people chilling there... Guess it's their place of entertainment where they get to exercises, catch up with friends and ditch the icy feeling of winter wonderland behind.
To meet the needs of the elderly, the pool gives free water aerobics sessions. Being at the pool at the time, my friends and I decided to join in the fun. Although the instructor lady speaks in Finnish and we can hardly understand, the exercises are easy enough to follow. Initially we were just bored and looking for stuff to do, but we were actually sort of entertaining the ladies around us, being the only young people participating in their exercise session and having a foreign face. One or two of them actually came up to me during those pair up movements. (don't get me wrong, I'm actually very happy to be partners with them, just that never thought they would really want to and come over) They must think that we are these funny strange asian girls with nothing better to do than joining in old folk's activities.
Anyway I feel really good, maybe it's the adrenaline kicking in after exerciseing or maybe I made those old people happy or kind of both. Does not matter, as long as everybody's happy (cheeeeeeeeezyy ~v~)
Just thought I'd share this piece of simple happiness, what's the thing that made you happy about?
