I was reluctant at the beginning but I am happy now that Sonia convinced me to participate in a cross-country skiing lesson in Paloheinä. According to my experience, specially outgoing Finns are selected for teaching activities cause the teacher in this occasion was particularly funny (as my former Finnish language teachers). Not particularly fluent in English but he could speak a bit Spanish instead. And he insisted in using it all the time together with English. There was actually a Portuguese guy and a Romanian girl who spoke also my mother tongue and they also laughed at the teacher's accent speaking Spanish. In the end, it was really useful to learn basic techniques and develop our skills on snow. I broke my ass against the cold ice several times but I really enjoyed. "You have to move like panters on the snow to enjoy the essence of the Finnish wilderness", he claimed.
