Yliopistokatu and surroundings
Time to talk a little bit about the area I'm located in. Yliopistokatu means "University street", so you can probably guess what how far it is from where I had to go to take my courses. This place really gives meaning to the word "campus". Let's see: 4 tall buildings filled with international and finnish students plus laundry rooms and saunas, next to smaller houses (also for students), a Sports Hall, a secondary school, a kindergarten with playground, tennis courts, 3 big supermarkets, post office, techology companies HQ's, restaurants (mostly pizzerias), a bar, the University ("only" the 2nd biggest in Finland) and Technopolis. Also nearby, we have Tellervontie and Tapiontie (streets where more students live), 2 big lakes, the Bothanical Gardens, a library and guess what... a gorilla that knows how to read!!!
this is what happens when gorillas live close to schools...
