... a Mikołaj odpoczywa :/ Byliśmy wiec na poczcie, w której w skrzyniach leżały listy wysyłane przez dzieci do SM (podobno polskie dzieci są jednymi z tych, które wysyłają ich najwięcej - ja sama będąc dzieckiem wysłałam 2 lub 3 - i tu się pochwale, ze nawet dostałam odpowiedz :):)) Ale największą atrakcją była wizyta w biurze SM. I tu daliśmy si&#281 ...

No niin! Reput saatiin pakattua ja punnittua. Kasperin reppu painaa vain 5,0kg ja Antin 6,6kg. Koska haluamme matkustaa kevyesti ja lentää pelkkien käsimatkatavaroiden kera (ilman ruumaan laitettavia kantamuksia), olemme yrittäneet jättää kaiken vähänkin turhan tavaran kotiin. Ainakin Air Asian halpalentoyhtiöllä käsimatkatavaroiden enimmäispaino on 7 kiloa ja sen alle yritimme puristaa. Ja onnistuimme! Jätin jopa parranajokoneenkin pois repusta ...

In the Lapland War, during the Second World War, approximately 90% of the total property in the town was destroyed by German troops.

After a pretty good breakfast in our Hotel, we walked down to the bus station to catch the bus to Santa's Village. It was only 8km away, but the main attraction, besides being where Santa hangs out, is that it is right on the Arctic circle. Megan and I have been very close to both the Antarctic and Arctic circles, but this was the first time we managed to get across one of the magic lines! It didn't feel any ...

... else) were coated in a thick frosting of sparkling white crystals. Each needle of each pine tree had been caked in a fuzzy centimeter of white glaze, it is so magical.

I say ironic because it is quite tragically funny that I have taken this long to figure this out, I remember during university preview days in high school, I went to a philosophy class and loved it, but thought, nah, what would I use that for? Hahahahaha, what I am realizing is that philosophy is so important, it underlies everything. But because ...

... just a case of more hindsight being 20/20, it is useless to begrudge or regret mistakes in the past that have led you to becoming the person who is able to see them, now, as mistakes, and understand why they happened. If you hadn't done those things, you would not have grown from them. You would be different, often less, than you are. It is exciting, sad, frustrating and beautiful all at once.

Dria primarily wanted to come to Rovaniemi to cross into the Arctic Circle, which was accomplished just 8 km north of Rovaniemi, and also happens to be the home of Santa Claus. Having several young people in our lives, we put in a good word with Santa and asked him to keep his eyes open for Christmas letters from Riley, Tailyn, Kylie, Emma and ...

You no longer correct people who say MAC Donald's. 37. You just love Jaffa! (mmmmm orange pop) 39. You know that "I got a new boyfriend." means "I got laid last night." 40. The next day when they say "We broke up." you know it means " He didn't call." 41. You ...

... i would need to get a mobile phone or be a true freak. everyone, EVERYONE has them here, and text messaging is probably the #1 form of communication (possibly even over speaking, i am not joking!!) Marika, my student tutor, gave me her old phone, which is wonderful! so i am now (sort of) an expert. so basically, life is fairly simple right now, i am settling in really well and i think that i am going to like living here. as galia tells me, i have come to my country!
