ITALIA-VAIHTO
SAKSALAISTEN VASTAVIERAILU MATKA AMERIKKAAN
Muutoksen kevät Ilmastonmuutos sai lukiolaiset lakkoilemaan. Monen mielestä on viimeinkin tehtävä jotain ja nyt on vihoviimeinen hetki pysähdyttää ilmastonmuutos. Etupäässä vaatimuslistaan kuului polttomoottoreista luopuminen, hiilivoimaloiden ja ydinvoimaloiden sulkeminen ja lihansyönnin lopettaminen. Teimme kyselyn, jonka tuloksena havaitsimme useimpien olevan valmiiita muutokseen, joka lähtee omasta itsestä. Ilmastonmuutos on merkittävä pitkän aikavälin muutos globaalissa tai paikallisessa ilmastossa. Ilmastonmuutos voi aiheutua tapahtumista, jotka liittyvät muun muassa merien lämpömekanismeihin, maapallon rataan, mannerlaattojen liikkeisiin, Auringon aktiivisuuteen, vulkaaniseen toimintaan, asteroiditörmäyksiin ja viime aikoina myös ihmisten toimintaan. Ensimmäiseksi kysyimme, että olisivatko lukiolaiset valmiina vaihtamaan moottoriajoneuvoaan julkisen liikenteen kulkuvälineeseen. Suurin osa lukiolaisista olisi valmiita vaihtamaan mopoautonsa polkupyörään. Seuraavaksi vuorossa oli kysymys, joka koski matkailua, ts. voisivatko lukiolaiset vaihtaa kaukomatkat Suomen kohteisiin. Vastaus ei ollut yksioikoinen, vaan jokainen lukiolainen vastasi omalla tavallaan. Useimmat olivat sitä mieltä, että voisivat vaihtaa. Tosin tarkennuksena oli monilla, että riippuu kohteesta. Jos kotimaassa on joku kiinnostava paikka, niin siinä tapauksessa kyllä. Kolmas kysymys oli punaisen lihan pois jättäminen. Erillaisuuksia näkyi vastauksista, mutta suurin osa oli sitä mieltä, että ei pysty jättämään punaisen lihan syömistä pois. Neljäs kysymys oli kokonaan suomalaiseen ruokaan siirtyminen sekä eksoottisten hedelmien pois jättäminen. 75% vastasi, että olisivat valmiina siirtymään suomalaiseen ruokaan ja jättämään eksoottiset hedelmät ostamatta. Viides kysymys koski ekosähköön vaihtamista. 13% vastasi, että ei pysty vaihtamaan. Suurin osa ei tiennyt edes mitä se tarkoittaa. Kuudes kysymys koski muuttamista lähemmäs palveluita. Suurin osa vastasi kyllä. Seitsemäs kysymys oli lihan korvaamista kasvisproteiinilla. Ainoastaan pieni osa lukiolaisista oli valmis vaihtamaan lihan kasvisproteiiniin. Monet eivät olleet varmoja kykenisivätkö he siirtymään siihen. Viimeinen kysymys oli sisälämpötilan laskemista asteella. Ainoastaan yksi lukiolainen vastasi ei. Haastateltavana oli yhteensä yhdeksän lukiolaista. Lyydia on Nakkilan lukion oppilaskunnan julkaisu.

As an addition her partner Giulia there were mom, dad, brother and dog in the host family. Food was delicious pizza and pasta and there was lots of it. Weather was interesting: One day warm, but some other snow. “I enjoyed Caserta the best”, said Aleksandra. On February 27th they head home. Isernia Isernia is a town in Molise region, Mid-Italy. There are about 20,000 people living. The most famous is the church of Cattedrale di San Pietro. There was a temple on the same place long before the church.

When we arrived to Chicago we went to car rental, took a minivan and drove to Julie Zenz in Lancaster, WI. Mrs. Zenz replaced our teacher, Mr. Kopio, in Nakkila, when he was as an exchange art teacher in Tampa, FL in 2005-06. We drove about four hours and were in Lancaster around two local time.

Joeʼs son Cole was playing. It was interesting to see the game, although it was rainy and cool. Julie had covers for us. After the game we went back to Julieʼs, but stopped at Coleʼs farm. We actually stopped to climb on a silo to see the setting sun. Fun fact: Cole bought the farm at the age of 16 and is running it by himself.

Sunday April 28th We drove to Birch Run shopping mall, where are lots of outlet stores. They are built different way than in ordinary shopping mall. Entrance is only from the parking lot, not from inside of the building. There were many buildings full of shops. We did some bargaining. Then we head to Clinton, where we stayed at Patricia and Jerry Sanders. They had a BBQ and there were lots of their relatives and friends. Their friend Dexter showed us his remote-controlled, 3-D printed navy ship. He said, that it took a year to construct. Patricia had us a tour in their home and the trailer we stayed.

There were two schools in the same building in Lancaster. Just like in Nakkila: Junior high school and senior high school.
Monday April 29th We went to Adrian at 9. We visited supermarket Meijer. After a few stops we arrived at one of our targets, Tecumseh High School. They had grades 9 thru 12. We met Mr. Ron Frenzen, who taught sculpture. He was Mr. Kopioʼs colleague, when he was there as an exchange teacher. We enjoyed a tour, which was arranged by students this time. One of the students showed us her locker. We had lunch at the cafeteria. Cafeteria and food were all different than in Finland. They had pizza, french fries, subs and salad.

Monorail of Detroit.
Tuesday April 30th We woke up early in the morning to start a new day. Breakfast: Toast with marmalade, cheese, cucumber and cold meat. For drink coffee, tea or juice. We had also fresh muffins and fruit salad. Our target of the day was Detroit. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get there. Our guides were Patricia and her grandson Dylan. First stop was the Guardian Building. 36-store skyscraper is nominated as a historic and national monument. Inside the building represent Art Nouveau -style and there was a huge Michigan map on the wall. It looked a bit like Soviet art. Then we had a monorail ride around the downtown. It was 4.74 kilometers long, but cost only 75 cents. We drove round the line and entered to the monument by the river. Itʼs on the very spot where Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac landed in 1701 and founded Detroit. On the other side of the river is Canada and the City of Windsor. We had dinner at a local pizzeria. They had old game consoles there, but still operating.
Making pattern using horse hair and feathers. Middle Mr. Frenzen and Mrs. Ann Merrill, who was in exchange with Mr. Kopio 25 years ago. Mrs. Merrill was the academic year of 1993-94 in Nakkila and Mr. Kopio in Tecumseh.
Tour at Tecumseh High. Most classrooms were decorated to inspire students.
Very realistic looking hyenas at the Field Natural History Museum in Chicago. Mrs. Sanders taught us how to make jewelry. E.g. Paxman and Donkey Kong. The Heidelberg Project was the next stop. The HP is situated on one of the poorly maintained suburbs of Detroit. It was founded by Tyree Guyton, whose plan was to make Heidelberg as a metaphor about what he wanted his environment to look alike. Guy ton gave new life and new meaning. This is an area, where is possible to redeem artistic vision. At the end of the day we spent at Great Lakes Crossing mall. It was interesting to compare Birch Run and this. In Great Lakes Crossing customers can enter shops from inside, Birch Run only outside of the building. Neighbor of Mr. and Mrs. Sanders has made a scale model of a WWII Japanese war ship with a 3D-printer.
Wednesday May 1st We needed to leave first in the morning, because we were driving to Chicago. It was the last target we had in the United States. We had a flight to London in the evening. We were not able to see the city, but through car windows. We visited the Field Museum of Natural History. Best known pieces are �Sue� the most complete skeleton of T-Rex and other dinosaur skeletons,
large collection of stuffed animals e.g. Tsavo man-eater lions. They killed lots of humans in Kenya at the end of 19th century. There were also lots of things from Ancient Egypt like mummies. After the museum we head to the airport.
Traffic in the city of Chicago.

Chicago The most populous city of the state of of Illinois and the third populous in the U.S.A., there are about 2.7 million inhabitants. Incorporated as a city in 1837. After the big fire in 1871 the entire city was rebuilt and it accelerated the population growth. By 1900 Chicago was the fifth larges city in the world. Chicago became known about its urban planning, zoning standards and new construction styles. OĘźHare international airport is one of the busiest in the world. There is the largest number of U.S. highways in the region and greatest number of railroad freight. About 58 million tourists visit Chicago every year. Chicago is a home for McDonaldĘźs, Quaker Oats, Allstate, Boeing and United Airlines Holdings.
Time difference to Finland: Chicago 8 hours Detroit 7 hours.
Thursday May 2nd We arrived Gatwick, London before noon. We had a plan to visit the city, but people serving Norwegian Airlines said, that trains are late and itĘźs not a good idea to visit the city. Therefore we had seven hours at the airport for waiting our flight to depart. Fun Fact: In the States supermarket customers get their goods packed into a plastic bag. In some supermarkets bags are in a carousel, which makes packing even faster. Plastic bags are very thin, too.
The statue of the Spirit of Detroit in the downtown of the city.
