I made an effort to talk to people this time; it didn't lead to me getting to know anyone but I learned more about myself.

location: Pasila, Helsinki, Finland

fun story: I forgot my plushie at home so I bought a new one on the way there. Then I remembered I had forgotten to bring a birthday gift for someone, so I gave the plushie to them.

Plus: I spoke quite a lot (by my standards) with people who didn't know me beforehand, and they were nice. Fun activities. Good breakfasts.
Minus: Many of my friends avoided me. No lunches at all and bad dinners.
My mobility was reduced because of a preexisting injury and my room was far from all activities.
Overall, a positive experience.
