For those two people who are still checking this blog for updates, this is the final one. I uploaded the October- March gallery, some 130 photos, with comments to the Photos section. So go ahead and browse there if you're interested! Anyway, a short recap of my exchange year:
1) I went to Kitami, Japan
2) I was together with my girlfriend
3) I cycled a lot
4) I went to karaoke a lot
5) I went to onsen a lot
6) I came back to Finland to actually do some studying and got a job which has kept me busy since then.
To experience all of this and more, you're probably better off not going to Kitami, but some better university and a larger city, if you're interested in either studying or nightlife or something else than just watching cows. If you're interested in downhill skiing or possibly cross-country, Hokkaido is a great place for you. If you love nature, Hokkaido is a great place for you. However, even under these circumstances, I wouldn't recommend Kitami. Go to Sapporo instead, from there you have easy access to all kinds of activities as well.
Even having said that, it was still a great experience, I would've just rather been somewhere else when I was in Kitami.
