Oktoberfest!!

I just wrote this out and then the internet crapped out on me so here it is again. Forgive the less-detail, I'm getting tired.

I went to Tampere after my 45 minutes of school today. I met up with Sasha(also a Kanadalainen like me) and we walked around KoskiKeskus and downtown. We ran into Marion who was on her way to Finnish lessons, and joined us, forsaking the Finnish lessons. Not even a block later, we ran into Mike who's currently living in Hämeenlinnä and is up here for a week visiting his host brother in UofTampere. So that was cool, we hung out and saw this Oktoberfest wagon, pulled by horses, with a small brass band on it. So we started dancing to the music and we called Lucas(from Germany) and he heard the music, so that was cool. Then we sat on the steps outside the old church-clock tower thing by Keskustori sunning ourselves. It was a balmy 12 degrees and some of us stripped down to our spaghetti strap shurts and we basked in the bright light and warmthness. I ended up leaving early because I was supposed to have a Rotary meeting tonight, but it was cancelled as I found out just as the bus went on the freeway, so I couldn't really go back.
