Title: Home from home
Anna's home town of Tampere is in Finland but it's also known as "Mansa" or Finnish Manchester because many of its buildings have a striking resemblance to old industrial warehouses in Manchester. Anna's been in Manchester for a few months but the scenery and buildings in some parts of the city centre remind her of Tampere so much she hardly ever feels homesick. All she has to do it take a walk around Castlefield with her husband Matti.
