7 days to go.......!!!!

Hi all.

Time is really running out now. It is only 7 days left before we all meet in Finland. At this time when I am writing this post the Maltese group will be flying to Helsinki. We have prepared an interesting video on Malta and you can savour some of the beautiful places that one can find on our island. Maybe one day you may visit Malta, especially in summer, where the sun and the sea are some of the things not to be missed.

Hope you are all fine and I'm really looking forward to this unique experience and to meet all of you physically rather than on  facebook actually!! It will be hard to remember all the names, but I try cos some of them are really difficult to memorize.

Until then, bye for now...

to continue.....

Hi everyone.

It seems that this blogging is becoming popular amongst us. It is interesting to read other posts and become familiar with the expectations that are cropping up. We will have a mixture of these, I guess, and I am really looking forward to meet with you all soon. It will be a challenge for me to resist those terrible temperatures really, but we are all prepared to bring with us a whole lot of stuff to keep us warm as much as possible! I hope that soon we will have the programme of activities that we are going to be engaged in and this will help us familiarise ourselves better with what is in store for us in Pori. Until the next one, enjoy life mates..

Getting started

Hi everyone.

Time passes so quickly, and it is only a matter of days now, that we all meet in Pori for this learning opportunity. I can say that there are high expectations amongst the Malteses group to kick start this experience, and although we are all involved in some form of studying at the moment, we are really looking forward to it now. It was a valuable idea to start knowing each other through facebook and that, in my opinion, have helped us share our toughts and concerns of what we are up to when we are in Finland. That has created an idea of the people we are going to meet, who although coming from different cultures and places, we are all healthcare professionals and therefore coming from the same learning and working environment.

It was a nice and at times funny experience when we met to produce our country's dv. It took us time to organize the 'tour' and then to actually produce the clips but living in a small country like Malta was a an asset for us as we were able to do it in a relatively short time because of our distances between towns! I hope that you will be able to savour some of the culture and historical places that one can find in Malta aswell. We have also included some shots of our new acute hospital and the University where we took our academical training.

Hope that this was interesting for you to know and I will be back with some more blogging soon! Cu mates.
