Living in Malaga
When we arrived to Malaga airport it was very sunny and my expectations were up high. In the first week we learned a bit of Spanish language and we got to known streets of Malaga for example where were our bus stations, good foodmarkets and tasty restaurants.
After the first week we had settled down and everyone in our group started their works in different places on monday. Sergio guided me to my working place which is called Novasoft. When we arrived to Novasoft, they did not expect me to start that day. That's why my real work started on tuesday.
The time has gone by very fast for the first two weeks in Novasoft. Althought I haven't have so much work to do, the atmosphere at the company is pleasant and active. I have had three new friends and with them I have spoked a lots of English and a little bit of Spanish. There is one thing I'm a bit surprised: when we use telephones to communicate with other co-workers in Finland, in Novasoft they use Skype.
We all five members of the group doesn't have works in this week because of Semana Santa. This festival has been very surprising to all of us because we didn't expect it to be as huge as it turned out. The parades have been amazing and the celebration isn't over until the next sunday.

My first two weeks at Elecampa
My first two weeks at Elecampa have been very interesting. The differences between Spanish and Finnish culture have huge. The style of doing electicity is very different because of the Spanish way of work is much more slower than ours in Finland. Also the tools we have used aren´t as good as we have in Finland. So, I have learned different and maybe not the easiest ways to do electrician works.
I have been working at many workplaces with my two colleagues. The workplaces have been burger restaurant, three different kinds of apartments and couple of smaller jobs.
I have had a little communication problems, because both of my colleagues doesn´t speak english and my spanish is pretty bad. But luckily we have got along to and all jobs have been done!
Now I have two workdays left next week and I´m waiting them excited!

My two first weeks in Elecampa
I´ve really enjoyed working in Elecampa. At mornings, me and Teemu take a bus to Campanillas, where Elecampas employees take us with them to Elecampa. People there are so nice and they let me work alot. I work three days a week, about ten hours a day. Sometimes it´s hard, cause it´s veryhot and I´m not used to it in Finland, but weekend starts couple days earlier than normal, that´s nice. That´s sometimes difficult too, cause we don´t have common language. My workmates speak little english and I little spanish so we somehow manage to understand eachothers. This week has been holiday cause of Semana Santa, so I have three working days left next week.

FIRST WEEK AT INDIESTUDIO
I have to admit, that I was pretty nervous on my way to Indiestudio in the first morning. Not so much for the work itself, but for finding my working place. I had been there once before, but I was in Sergios car, so I wasn't so sure about the bus routes. Luckily, I did manage to find the right bus stop by asking for help from some locals.
My second morning wasn't so succesful than the first. I took a different bus, that had shorter route, but when I dropped out of the bus, I had no clue of where I was.
I thought that the view looked familiar, but I was wrong. I had time before work started, so I called to my teacher for him to check where I was on a map. That wasn't any kind of success either, but luckily call to work after 30 minutes of walking did help a lot.
Next days I didn't have any problems about knowing the bus stops, or about working for that matter. My job was quite the same for those days and there was nothing that I had big problems with.
Indiestudio is very good place for me to practice my IT skills, because at least for my first week, I've had something to do at all times. Nothing special, but the basics of maintaining computers that has to be done from time to time.

El Chorro
On Thursday morning March 31st, we got to know some Spanish nature in mountain called El Chorro. A drive from Málaga to El Chorro took about one hour. There was a pond, and we were kayakinging there. Weather was very warm and sunny, but the water was still too chilly to swim. After that we went trakking in woods. We walked down the hill to the bottom of the mountain. There was couple of decametres, which was kinda cool sight. After trekking, we went to eat in a local restaurant. We ate lots of different kinds of foods. That was a great day, we saw so much new things of Spain and the views were awesome!
