Busy, busy

The past couple days have been a whirlwind of activity. On Saturday I went to the Turku Castle (don't worry, I have tons of pictures, which I'll try to get up tomorrow), and Sunday was dedicated to homework and cornbread baking. Why cornbread? Well, the university put on an international food fair today, and I got together with some other Americans to prepare a meal. I made cornbread and they made BBQ pork and coleslaw. Pretty classic, which is why it was a little surreal explaining BBQ and cornbread to people. I didn't get to try much food from the other teams because I had to serve up our food until we ran out. People really seemed to like the cornbread too, if I do say so myself. We had to hoard some, along with the pork. I never got to try the coleslaw though...

There were other teams from Turkey, Pakistan, China, France, Spain, and Finland, of course. Team Finland had my favorite food, Karelian pies with egg butter, and my least favorite food, mämmi. I'll elaborate later.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the Viking Line office to get ferry tickets to Estonia, and it's pretty late right now, so now it's time for me to go to sleep.
