Eli saimme etätehtäväksi yksilötehtävän, jossa työskentelemme hypoteettisessa suomalaisessa incoming-toimistossa. Tarkoitus olisi etsiä sopivia kohteita ulkomaisille asiakkaille heidän toivomustensa mukaisesti ja kuvailla kohteita. Lisäksi meille oli kirjattu tehtävänannon loppuun näin;
"Huom! Asiakkaasi eivät kirjoita äidinkielellään tai eivät jostain muusta syystä hallitse täysin kieltä, joten sinun ei kannata ottaa vaikutteita heidän kieliopistaan ;)"
Eli pesen käteni (melkein) kaikista kirjoitusvirheistä. Tehtäviä kuului valita neljä kymmenestä, joten valitsin ne, mitkä vaikuttivat omaan silmään mielenkiintoisilta. Huomautan, että yksi tehtävä tippui mm. men jag kan inte tala Svenska. Ja oletan, että tehtävässä on myös tarkoituksena vastata sillä kielellä, millä sähköposti on lähetetty.
Eiköhän tässä ole alkupuhetta riittämiin. Ainiin, käytin apuna Google-hakukonetta, Mapsia ja Museot.fi-sivustoa.
Case #1: “Fritz is a fan of old ships”
Hallo. My name is Fritz Von Schloss Ahrensburg und I write to you from Titisee, Schwarzwald. My plan is to travel to Finland next summer. I await that journey a lot. I would appreciate a lot your help in the next issue.
My hobby is to examine
old ships. I would very much enjoy doing that also while travelling in Finland.
Would you be so kind and give me some hints of nice old ships which would
situate on my route. My plan is to travel along the Finnish coast line from
Hamina to Vaasa. I would also be very happy if you could also write a short
description of the ships.
Mit Freundlichen Grüßen, Fritz

Hello Mr Von Schloss Ahrensburg.
I'm glad you are interested in travelling Finland and happy to help you. This specific route you have in mind can also be travelled by a boat or a ship, if you enjoy sailing as much as examining ships. I also have a website that you should check if you have someone or you also can translate it yourself. It has so much information, that it's hard to put everything in one e-mail. you can also contact me again and I can find more specific information for you; http://www.laiva.fi/
Your first interest would be in Hamina, which has two older ships that are nowdays museums. One of them is called S/S Hyöky, an old lightvessel ja other one is called Museoalus Merikarhu, an old harbour ice-breacker. I think that you find them intresting, because they are old (Merikarhu is build in United states of America 1943 for Normandian disembarkation originally).
In Helsinki there is not only old ships that you can visit or admire in the herbour, but also a submarine called Vesikko. It was put to use in 1933 at Turku and at first it had only a codename CV 707 untill 1936. Vesikko was build originally because Germany couldn't build submarines under the agreenment of Versailles, so there was a cover-up company. So this spesific submarine isn't Finnish, but if World War interests even a bit, this one is a must-see!
Passing by Turku and its beautiful landscape (or island-scape, to be honest), you should stop by at Merikeskus Forum Marinum (oceansentre). It has collection of a hundread ships which (at least some of them) you can visit.
Rauma has museum about ocean, focusing on sailing and how to do it, which helds items and parts of ships that have survived many years. I think it would be perfect for you, if it interests you even a bit.
Rauma is not only one with interesting museum; Pori helds old museum which is about building in 1800-1900, inclueding ships; since traiding has always been important, ships are even more important as they made traiding between long distances possible.
Kristiinankaupunki has also a museum, but even more interesting is that there is also an old anchor.
Vaasa has also a museum which might interest you.
Hope you enjoy your visit in Finland!
Have a nice day.

Case #6: “Military man Miles”
How do you do? My name is Miles and I study European war history in the University of Manchester.
I am very well aware of the great war history
of your country and would like to see with my own eyes the war sites of your
Winter War and Continuation War. I have been blessed with possibility to visit
your country next summer in July.
Would you be so kind and supply me with an
inclusive list of the war sites worth visit in the province of Eastern Finland?
In addition, would you please give me a short
description of those?
Yours, Miles
Hey. I'm doing well, thank you for asking! Especially since this subject that you approached me is truelly interesting.
Winter War and Continuation War both took place during World War II and made that period of time extreamly important for our country. If you want to get to know our history on the very grounds, I suggest you turn your head in eastern Finland and Lappland. It's really beautiful area during summertime and you can still see how the war made us.
We lost three big areas to Russia during the war, so some of the areas cannot be visited without also visiting Russia. Parts ar caller Karjala, Petsamo and Salla-Kuusamo. I'll sent you the map also, so you can see yourself where the parts are. There are old foxholes form our civil war still to be viewed in Lahti, which are also interesting to visit. In Lappland there are also some old buildings that survived when germans burned most of the Lappland. Almost all of them are protected and saved as museums so it's also possible to visit those places.
But to be honest, you should head to the Eastern Finland, close to the border and visit also behind Russian borders. Also Suomenlinna (close to Helsinki) is one place you should stop by, it has been under Navy and they are opening old, closed islands every year. Also you should visit Miehikkälä, which helds a museum about Salpalinja. Salpalinja was Finnish defence line, filled with history. I'm also sending you the map of the line, so you can plan your travel to go alongside.
Hope this was useful!
Best wishes,

Case #9: “Jack´s grand grandfather was a fisher”
Hello!
My name is Jack Lahti and I´ll travel to
Finland next July. My plan is to get familiar with my routs which are in
Pohjanmaa. My grand grandfather worked as a fisherman in a small village named
Maxmo. His family lived all over the coast of Pohjanmaa from Vaasa to Oulu.
I would be so grateful if you would collect me
some attractions which would help me to learn more about my ancestor’s way of
living. Especially I´m interested in all kinds of destinations related to
fishing.
My tour is to last for 2-3 weeks so I hope to
get at least 10 propositions and their short introductions.
Thank you a lot in advance!
Jack
Hello!
I'm happy that you have desided to get to know your ancestry. Since Finland is a land of thousand lakes, I'm sure that you're happy to know that route you have chosen can be travelled by a boat or a ship, if you want to have so called "real experience". Pohjanmaa is really historic and it used to be biggest country counsil covering over one third of your country. But focusing on the coast this time, as you wanted. So, here are some interesting stops on the way!
1. Fishing museum, locating on Mustasaari, also known as Granösund. In the museum you get the idea of living in a island in the old days. There is dozens of old buildings brought from all around, possibly even from 1700's.The museum was build to protect old fishsaunas which almost withered away when traditional fishing was out of fashion, so to say. The saunas were ment for fishers to spent nights on the season.
2. Your grand grandfaters hometown, Maxmo has a museum for fishing and boats. It helds old fishing items and boats specially from 1800s. It's easy to visit, since you contact them to open it for you.
3. Next logical stop would be in Pietarsaari, arctic muesum Nanoq. It helds items about fishing and hunting, animals and plants, old clothing and art. Also items from famous arctic type of Indiana Joneses and old literature and films.
4. Also interesting place would be in Kokkola, where you get to see a museum about home of a fisher.
5. Lohtaja has also a museum about living in mid 1800s, which might interest you.
6. In Kalajoki (name says it all; kala means fish and joki means river) you can visit a museum about fishing in the sea.
7. Haapajoki has also a museum holding old fishingitems.
8. Raahe helds also a museum about fishing. As you might have noticed, fishing has been really important in the coast.
9. A town called Liminka also has a homemuseum about farming and fishing that you would enjoy.
10. Last but not least, Oulu has also a fishermans home displayed as a museum.
Hopefully this list will help you. Also if you fish on your way, remember to talk to local people, they know all the best places for fishing! We have this saying, "kireitä siimoja" which means "catch a fish" in a Finnish style.
Have a nice day!

Case #10: ”Annora studies Sami people”
Hey there!
I study indigenous people of Europe in the
University of Freiburg. I have just begun my studies but I have already got an
idea concerning my diploma work. I would like to research the Sami people.
I need your help to get a successful start to
my project. My plan is to travel to Lapland next autumn. I would be very
satisfied if you would give me hints of all possible places which display Sami
culture in Finland.
Thank you for your help!
Annora, Titisee-Neustadt
Hello!
Thank you for contacting us, I really think I can help you get started. I hope that you are not only going to explore Finlands Lapland, because Sami culture isn't just inside one country. And Sami people have never really cared about if they are in Finland or Sweden, for example. But that is something you will learn for sure the moment you get to know about their culture.
In Finland Sami people mainly live in Enontekiö, Inari and Utsjoki, where you should visit. Especially Inari has a sort of museum, SIIDA, which is like a window to view the Sami peoples livinghabits and also a good place to get to know Finnish nature.
But get this; when it comes to numbers, Helsinki is the main living area nowdays. So if you want to meet up with Sami people and talk to them directly, I suggest you contact their union in there. Best way to get to know Sami people is to actually meet them; they have their own kindergardens and schools, since most parents want their children to be raised speaking sami instead of finnish or any other nordic language. I think you can visit their schools and get to know about their culture nowdays.
I hope that this was helpful!
Have a nice day!
Hanna Isokorpi
