I've been published!

In the first week I was in Finland, I got interviewed along with three other American exchange students in for the newspaper of Turku, Turun Sanomat. Now, this last week, I myself had my own article in the newspaper of Tampere, Aamulehti. A journalist and a photographer came to our house to ask me questions on my exchange life and how things were going while living in a foreign country. After that I went outside with the photographer and she took so many pictures. Most of the pictures were of me taking pictures of things, because I had mentioned I like photography, so she told me to bring my camera outside. It was a pretty cool feeling to have somebody write a story about you, and to also have my own little photo shoot. Some of the other students also are having articles written on them in newspapers in other cities. I still have not yet sat down with somebody in my host family to translate the article with yet (they all know English REALLY well). But I can read at least the first sentence: "Here's William Mann, an American teenage boy who has never had a Big-Mac hamburger."

This is the article from Aamulehti.

This is the article from Turun Sanomat.

So now I have been published in three different newspapers about my trip: The Orchard Park Press, Turun Sanomat, and now Aamulehti.
