Ympyrä sulkeutuu.. One of our first posts was about first week in Cologne and now we are making a similar kind of post about the last week here. The week has been full of everything nice :) But unfortunately everything good comes to an end..
Monday
We had our last exam on Monday! It was about international procurement and the exam was shit. :D Most difficult and annoying of all our exams. But after that the feeling was awesome: we are free!! Right after the exam we went and had lunch in restaurant Marilyn, where we also celebrated our birthday couple months ago. We at first considered should we drink cocktails to celebrate the end of the exams but we skipped it because it was like 2 in the afternoon. :D We decided to go and have Kitti Chai's popular jumbo cocktails in the evening instead.

| Delicious!! The whole meal cost under 10 € per person |
Then it was time to relax a bit before going out! At first we went to Kitti Chai to have those jumbo cocktails. One cocktail cost 6,95 and it was super huge.. Have to admit, we both were drunk after drinking one of those... We had a nice time there just the two of us chatting about everything, important and not so important :) Then it was time to go to Roonburg! It was Diego's birthday so we went there to celebrate it. Super funny night with all the friends!

Tuesday
On Tuesday we went to the chocolate museum in Köln! Haha we have been planning to go there the whole 4 months and now made it there.. :D The museum is located at Heumarkt. The entrance fee for students was 6,50 €. The museum was a bit disappointment... Actually we don't really know what we were expecting but it wasn't that special. And in our opinion the museum was not that well designed. You really didn't know where to go because the rooms were quite big and there was no guidance. But a good thing was that we got to taste chocolate for free! :D The smell there was something you cannot describe.. They were actually really producing there chocolate: you could see the engines and the whole manufacturing process.

Wednesday
On Wednesday morning Maiju traveled to Düren to have a job interview! If everything is going well, Maiju will come back to Germany in March and do her intership and summer job here. :) Let's hope for the best!
Nothing else special really happened on Wednesday. Jenna went to the Christmas Markets to buy the last gifts and then we just hung out and relaxed at home. In the evening we were supposed to go to Flamingo, but somehow we ended up going to McDonalds....... :D:D:D
Thursday
In the morning Maiju and Rares went to Hohenzollernbrücke to put a love lock there! It was so cute :3

Friday
Yesterday we finally started packing. It was super weird to gather all the stuff together and start putting them to the suitcases. The feeling was something you cannot even describe... Like "what the hell am I doing, I am not going anywhere?!" We managed to pack one suitcases both. At some point it started to look quite catastrophic because we have A LOT of stuff here...
 |
| haha doesn't it look very organized??? Notice also those hair colour packages... Maiju has bought "some" to take to Finland because they are so cheap here |
 |
| With these suitcases full our apartment still looked like we didn't pack anything.. |
 |
| It is always as breathtaking to see it. So beautiful. |
Then we went home to get ready for the evening. We went to the dorms in the evening to have a last party together. The dorm was full of people! Seriously everyone came there to see each other for the last time and have fun together. The evening was super fun but also sad, eventually just everyone started crying (like a lot.....). Some of us went to Vanity afterwards and when we were all together in the tram, other people probably thought that we are crazy or something :D Must have been something worth seeing like 20 people just crying and hugging each others... Now we can smile to that but yesterday it was soooo sad and nobody could stop crying and hugging. We are going to miss everyone so much.

| Hasan! He is working in the kiosk in the same building where we live. We have been talking to him always when we go to that kiosk. He is such a nice person :) We promised to go and greet him when we come back! |
Saturday
Today. The last last last day here in Germany. Today we have been finishing with packing and cleaning the whole apartment. In an hour we are leaving this apartment, our home, without coming back. It feels so crazy, sad and weird at the same time. Our Petteripaikka, we will miss you <3
We had a small break and stopped by the Christmas Markets next to our place.

| Maijo! XD |
Now we seriously need to finish this post so that we will catch the train to the airport.
Cannot really believe this is over.... We both are making own posts telling more about current feelings and thoughts concerning leaving here and overall of the whole exchange. Those are going to be the next and lasts posts of our blog.
We really want to thank you all who have been reading this blog and following our experience here! <3
Maiju&Jenna
