... i to, ze Mikolaj mowi po polsku (przywital nas slowami "dzien dobry") i to, ze moglismy obok niego usiasc, a przede wszystkim to, ze zrobilismy sobie z nim zdjecie (niewazne, ze zaplacilismy za nie ogromne pieniadze). Usmiechy nie schodzily nam z twarzy juz do konca dnia. Jak dzieciom.

We started heading back down the coast through Finland. The scenery was very different to that in Norway and was much flatter. There really wasn't much up in this area just lots of trees around. In the afternoon we reached Rovaniemi which is the home of Santa and is also is where we crossed the Arctic Circle line again. I was looking forward to the home of ...

... tuliaisiksi Nadian ja Rahmanin lapsille Singaporeen. Näiden kahden repun lisäksi Antilla on myös pieni vyölaukku mm. kameraa ja silmälasikoteloa varten. Ehkä eniten päänvaivaa pakkausvaiheessa tuotti moskiittoverkon kohtalo. Olemme yleensä aina huolellisesti viritelleet verkkoja kaikilla Indonesian potentiaalisilla malaria-alueilla suurten kaupunkien ulkopuolella, mutta tällä kertaa tällaisia kohteita lienee vain muutama (mm ...

... a recipe for disaster and always seem to misplace/lose things. So I wasn't surprised to find I had left my passport and my train pass on the No.8 bus. The cursing has well and truly started as I stampede around town trying to find the bus station. This is not easy when everything is in Finnish and when I do find the bus station ...

... But once on your bike in the fresh moist air, you are so grateful for that stupid class, because the sun is just starting to rise over the kemijoki river with subtle splendor, pinks and purples, and somehow the quality of the light is different from anywhere else you have ever been, as though it actually carries colour in it, making the gravel on the bike path glow a warm purple maroon, as if it knows ...

Our overnight train was pretty uneventful. We booked seats rather than beds (to save on costs) and they were not too uncomfortable to sleep on. The lights annoyingly stayed on all night, and the train kept stopping to pick people up, but other than that we got a few hours sleep. We arrived in Rovaniemi at 7:30am, and it was still pitch black outside. Nothing was open at ...

... atmosphere does not care if the relative output of emissions decreases - only absolute overall emissions matter when it comes to addressing climate change. Emissions must be capped. I am also very disappointed to hear Environment Minister Ambrose speaking of more consultations and delay, especially when Environment Commissioner Johanne Gelinas recently released an extensive report calling for short-term and long-term targets and a massive scale ...

... We had a few narrow misses with some Kamikaze reindeer who kept running out into the road. I am not sure if the Finnish have a lot of reindeer related accidents or are very vigilant drivers, but we have come across herds of them fairly frequently alongside most of the 'A' roads we have been driving on. Once we arrived in Rovaniemi we dropped the packs off into a day locker in the railway station and drove the car back ...

... or banging into walls it is all part of the dance, it does not take away from what we are building, the web of our life. i am realizing that when you find what you are meant to do, when you following the path that is under your feet, everything makes more sense and nothing is separate. my personal life, my strange array of seemingly random past jobs, i see how it is all part of what i am studying for my master's thesis, and ...

... i a told it is common. it probably looks like cheese. - ingrediants on packages are rarely in english, but all the graffiti on walls is - tango and kareoke are popular, done to finnish music that sounds really old and is, i would say, an aquired taste - finnish movies are disturbing and incredibly depressing, to a degree that i can hardly even comprehend. if you want to see a really really really ...
