Ice Hockey

I went to watch an Ice hockey match on saturday, where the town I am staying in were playing.
It was so much fun, ice hockey is Finlands' major sport so a lot of people take the games very seriously, there are even cheerleaders and I thought this was very strange.
Even though I have seen ice hockey on TV and films I never realized how aggressive it was, people push and ram each other into the sides for no reason and there don't seem to be any rules.
Luckily Hämeenlinna won so it was a good ending. I would like to go see a few more matches whilst I am in Finland.

Yesterday was my first weaving class, I found it quite stressful as I didn't realize how much time and effort went into preparing and sorting out the machines and weaves, I just wanted to start learning how to weave but hopefully I will learn that next lesson.

I am really looking forward to going skiing on saturday and hope to take a lot of photos if I manage to stay stood up long enough.
