During the two weeks’ trip, we have enjoyed the beauty of Scandinavia. The scenery is gorgeous and the cities are full of artistic feeling. What surprised us most is the creativity that companies have here in Scandinavia.

Another creative side of the school was the “Hugging Circle”. When somebody stand on the circle, people will come and give him/her a hug. This is so sweet for people who work here, because people may have pressure sometimes with the work, but a hug can heal the pain. This is creative as well as humanize.

Their mission is “Delight the World”. We found that they even install “Angry Birds” game at the design museum of Helsinki. While parents are watching the exhibitors children can have fun with the games. We saw a boy really enjoyed playing this game, and after several trying, he “hooray”ed like a winner. The game delighted the boy at that moment. That is a perfect place for working. It was like living in a game and become part of it.

Even on the street, there are many shops that own by artists. They either own their personal design or they either displaying paintings for selling. Every time we went through those shops, we appreciated those goods that they displayed. The art became another type of scenery which makes Scandinavia special.
