My culture shock evaporated on the second whole day. I had food, we got water. I met the neighbors. One of them cooked us a delicious Nigerian meal. And I was mentally better prepared for everything. I also met a spanish girl, who was also doing an internship and lived at the neighbors' place. She had arrived the day before and was apparently going on the same things in her mind as me.
From the earlier blog post, one might draw the conclusion, that life is always hard and there are no joys of life here. Of course, that's not the case. And when it comes to the problems, they just need some time to fix themselves. Many of the "problems" are a matter of standards and attitude. With time, what first seems to be a problem soon becomes a familiarity, and eventually something as trivial as snow in the Finnish winter. Life started to take its course quite fast.
