Syksyn aikana tulivat tutuksi Studia-messut, The Amazing Business Train-kurssi, sekä Forssan kampus. Haalaribileitä tietenkään unohtamatta. 🍎

Christmas in Ghana begins on the 20th of December and lasts until the first week of January. On Christmas Eve, there is usually Big concerts by the some famous musicians in Ghana. Families and friends also gather around to feast on rice, chicken, goat, fried plantain and Fufu. Fufu is a staple food found in Ghana and is made from mixing and pounding separate portions of cassava and green plantain.
During the Christmas Day church service, people dress up in colorful traditional clothes. Afterward, young children receive chocolates, cookies or new clothes from Father Christmas before heading home for one more massive festive meal.

In HAMK it's possible to go study abroad also if you want. I got accepted in USM Penang in Malaysia and next spring semester I am going there to study International Business.
During this fall semester everyone have asked me that, why did you choose to go Malaysia?
My answer to everyone has been that, If you got opportunity like this, you dont throw it away.
Like Bilbo Baggins said ~ I'm going on an adventure!

During Christmas time, me and my family go to the Church and then we celebrate at home. We love this special time not only in my family but in whole country. In every city it’s sort of competition with Christmas lights and trees. It is truly beautiful in Latvia during winter time.

Name: Akbota Bissengaliyeva
Nationality: Kazakhstan
Degree Programme: Electrical and Automation engineering
A holiday that makes all the people in Kazakhstan unite and celebrate together is the New Year’s Eve. The highlight of this holiday is to have a family dinner with tonnes of delicious food right before the midnight. This sort of gathering is a must and actually a very nice way to greet the New Year with your beloved ones and make lots of wishes. Afterwards we usually go out to enjoy the major fireworks and visit exciting hotspots nearby, like open air concerts, markets and different shows. Overall, it is a night full of joy, laughter and happiness for all Kazakhstani people. Since this tom I am going home on holidays, I am so looking forward to celebrate the New Year 2020 there.

HAMK Christmas Calendar 🎄
15.12.
Name: John Steedman
Nationality: Scottish
Degree Programme: Electrical and Automation Engineering
Christmas day is one of the best days as a child in Scotland: hanging up the Christmas stocking beside the fireplace, waking up (very) early to see what presents Santa Claus has left, gorging on a Christmas dinner of turkey, roast potatoes, bread sauce and Brussels sprouts... For many Scots, the most important time of the holidays is New Year's Eve, or Hogmanay as it's called in Scotland. As it gets closer to the bells (midnight), neighbours and family bring in the new year together by going first footing (visiting), many carrying traditional Hogmanay gifts such as shortbread, black bun and whisky. The night then continues with the singing of Auld Lang Syne and perhaps some Scottish country dancing.

Degree Programme: Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology
In Morocco, we have many celebrations in the year, but I have chosen Eid Al fitr because it’s the most joyful one. This day comes directly after Ramadan. In this Eid we prepare sweets and buy new clothes.
It’s an occasion for families and friends to reunite and exchange blessings and presents.
And I’m a bit sad, I'm not taking part of this fabulous celebration with my beloved ones this year.

Today I was visiting my friend’s work place and I saw this blanket 🤩. I can’t believe how sensitive I get when I look something that reminds me my pet 🥺. There is nothing better than a Sunday with your loyal friend, I wish I could hug her♥️. Good Sunday for everyone🤗! #hamkstories #hamk #hamkstoriesinternational #studyinfinland #internationalbusiness
School time! I’m working about the environmental impacts of traveling for a school project. I found it very interesting, the numbers and percentages shows a huge list of consequences. But even if people traveled less, this doesn’t stop. This is a matter where business and costumers are involved.
