... Place is famous for the museum of Modern Art, dedicated Andy Warhol. As you might know or might not, Andy's parents lived in close by village Mikova, before they moved to U.S.A. Althoght, he has never been there, he kept in touch with his family back there. Museum built there has a lot of copies, but presumably couple of originals from Andy's work. Well, I asked while buying tickets how ...

... Finland, that evening. Found the hostel easy enough (the stadium has a tower you can see from quite a distance away) and got settled. Some people also staying at the hostel were going to a park for a bonfire. In Finland the tradition is you have a bonfire on Easter Saturday to get rid of bad spirits or something like that. Apparently some kids dress up as witches for it. We got to the park late as many people at left already but the fire ...

Ensimmäinen lentomme (Rovaniemi-Helsinki siis) oli vartin myöhässä ilmeisesti Helsingin sumuisen sään vuoksi. Siskon perheessä oli luettu AMATSIN BLOGIA tarkkaan ja iloiseksi yllätykseksemme Mohammed oli tullut meitä vastaan.

It turned out to be a Vancouver girl, Brittany, who was taking a semester in Stockholm. She showed me the bus system, got me to the central rail station, leaving me with her business card, saying she could show me around if I wanted. She worked for ...

... history. I was really impressed with the completeness of the museum and everything it covered - really got me interested in Finnish history. The trek to the ferry was something else (we opted to sleep on the boat), but I'd rather close this with my thoughts on Finland. Finland truly is a unique place. I think it takes a bit of digging to get at the heart if them but I do think they are happy to share their great ...

a clammy/shivery night with fitfull sleep and bad dreams. i've been having really weird and vivid dreams since i've been away and this is the oddest - we're in st petersburg and old ladies keep trying to mug us. one distracted scott to pickpocket him, and another had... fake hands, and used her real hands to rifle his ...

... and Hungarian language are very similar. That's not true. They are only grouped into one group, because they are so different from all the other indo-european languages.
