Cumulus Airport Vantaa

Hello to everybody,
finally i kicked myself into the writing again. Well, we'd like to share with you couple of words and pictures from this summer, which we spent in Slovakia, partly in Croatia:)

So, the travelling started 1st of July, when we took the plane to Budapest. Flight went ok, we were actually flying over my(Palo's)homeland. I wanted so much to see High Tatras from above, but ...

... Finnish instrument that looks quite like a lap dulcimer.

I enjoyed playing games with the girls and having talks on life and relationships with Anne. Many thanks for their hospitality and yummy food. I guess it was wishful thinking that I might lose weight on this adventure.......I have been lucky to have been visiting people for the last month who are all on vacation now. I leave Helsinki with Air Berlin and my next adventure will be from Hamburg.

... to 'make a fire'."Oohh, fun, I thought, who all is going to this bonfire?" "us two" "...hm, I think I'll stay here..." This is the guy who went to sleep in the woods one night, just because he thought it'd be fun. Seems like a cool guy, if a little different. Naveen, an apartment mate of Mark's, who cooks amazingly good-smelling concoctions. A whole assortment of other Americans who are studying abroad. Steve and Barry, who are in the ...

... aren't a comparatively active voting block, and their needs aren't addressed as a result. But it's clear that something needs to be improved in the overworked and under-effective system. After some 20 months of holding out, I'm finally starting to pay attention to the American Election. It's like watching a movie in which a woman is tied to some train tracks, and the hero has to arrive in time to save her and you're not sure if he will or not. I ...

... We walked up the hill to the Orthodox Cathedral - very Russian looking. It was closed but still nice to look at on the outside and gave a great view over the presidential palace and the old town. Then we walked back down past the palace (rather uninspiring looking actually). Our guidebook had referred to the "colourful guards" there, but when we saw them they were dressed in grey uniforms. And standing under an umbrella. From there we walked around ...

Hello hello all my dear Prestonians! :) Just thought to write something and tell you all I'm still alive! :D My bag weighed 28 kgs! Gained exactly ten kgs since I arrived to Preston, hehe. Luckily they just let it go, without fines. Thanks so much, Colly Nathan and Vicky for helping with my monster bag :D Arrived to Finland on Monday night and was practically half-dead. My friend picked me up and tried to chat with me, in vain, cos my brains had been shut down! Was so strange to ...

J'appelle mon pere presque a tous les jours mais avec le decalage de 7 heures on ne peut appeler le reste d'entre vous ... peut etre ce soir ... sinon demain assurement. Soyez sage et arretez de perdre des parties de soccer 2-0 contre des novices Bonne nuit a tous Erik et P-L ( j'ai envoye deux fois un message semblable car je croyais avoir supprimer le premier ... il peut etre interessant de lire les 2 )

A Day in Vantaa After a long and healthy sleep I get up. Jasmin and Pia are already gone. Pia drops Jasmin off at the pre-school in the mornings. Then she goes to work. I start the day with a glass of milk. The milk tastes so much better in Finland. I also prepare an egg for myself and eat. This is my first day off work. This is the first day when I don't really have to do ...

... in their words here. :) So made it to Helsinki safe and sound. My luggage was delayed in Copenhagen however, but it finally arrived safe and sound as well a few hours later. Haven't done much here so far--Pauliina's been working and has school. It's been nice though because after working so much in Cadiz, and then running around for three days in Paris, just sitting and reading my new book has been nice ...
