Some new people moved into the flat opposite us last night, 3 guys from The Netherlands, Peet, Gerben and Stef. We decided to all go to town together to meet Aleksi, who then took us to the school, Kuopion Muotoiluakatemia (try sayin' that with a mouthful of cake...actually, trying saying it without!) The university consists of about 3 buildings, but we will only attend 2. Textiles is based in Turo, a few stops before the town centre. The main building, which holds a gallery space, cafeteria and library, as well as classes for the main design subjects, is down by the lake and has amazing interiors.
After our guided tour, we were taken to purchase our monthly bus pass, which will let us travel an unlimited amount of times anywhere in Kuopio - handy!
Aleksi also showed us the second hand sotres in town. Finnish charity shops are the best! You can literally find everything for very good prices. They also tend to have thing's cleaned before selling them!
