It's Tampere!


I just got my placement: Tampere! Here are some facts about Tampere:

1. It is the most populous inland city of any Nordic country (211,000).
2. It hosted the 2010 world ringette competition.
3. It is nicknamed the Manchester of Finland.
4. Its sister city is Syracuse, NY.
5. There is already snow on the ground there.

This is awesome news! I can't wait to learn more about this city. So glad you found out where you will be stationed. Do you know what date you will be leaving?
