Ourense (Spain) vs. Mikkeli (Finland)

In my opinion Mikkeli is a quiet city. It looks more like a little town. You can't see too many people in the street.

People are polite and most of them speak English quite well. Sometimes you could find someone that doesn't speak English, but if you try to speak with them, they use to find someone that can act like translator or that can help you.

The nightlife is a bit boring. There are some places where to go, but I didn't find much variety. The best of nightlife occurs in MOAS. It is the best place for party with the other Erasmus.

The weather is colder than Ourense. It rains much less, but in Mikkeli snows a lot. Temperatures can be lower than -20ºC in winter.
