Hei everyone,
Hope everybody had a good summer. The summer was unusually rainy and cold. The effect can be seen on the exceptionally high water level in the river. If you have not noticed that please check it in the district of Rantakylä in Joensuu. The Utra island is a good example, here it could be seen that water level have risen up to half a meter.
Such weather has an impact on berries’ and mushrooms’ yield. Those still can be found in the forest abundantly. Blueberry season is almost over, however lingonberry and cranberry are still coming. Some very successful pickers are able to pick up berries both for own needs and earn some money while giving them to berry collectors’ centers.
On a last week of August Joensuu celebrated “Joen Yö” which is one of the biggest event of the city. This day the museums are free of charge and working hours are much longer than usually. In addition to that the shops in city center also open longer. Most of the activities are concentrated around the marketplace and along the river. The swimming hall is also open longer than usually, however there is an entry fee. Weather forecast was favourable to enjoy the last day of the summer.
Have a nice beginning of semester and good luck on orientation programme for new-comers!
