Rauma

Moikka!

Between all those weird days as Runeberg's Day, Friendship Day/Valentine's Day and the upcoming Kalevala Day it's time for a short update.

So last week some friends of mine had an appointment in a little town called Rauma and that was for me the opportunity to join them since a 1,5h bus ride is much more fun with nice company. So Rauma is a special town for me. For once my best friend Tellu is living there and it is always great to see her but I also had my first snow in Finland there in October 2005. :) So for me this was the first time that I saw Rauma in real Winter and well I still have to say it is a little bit more interesting in summer but still very beautiful in winter. My Problem was that it was freezing cold and so windy that it made the sightseeing a challenge. As always I love to show Tellu Finland and it is always nice but to show her her own city is very funny, especially since I know the touristic sides much better. Anyway we did a little tour through the old city part which is THE tourist attraction. And surprisingly the Old
City of Rauma changed during the past 5 years. Most surprisingly the Hesburger (Finnish version of McDonals and makes the best cheeseburgers ever!!) moved out of an old wood building. Well besides the lacking of Hesburger I had a great day with good friends, learned a lot new things, went back on memory lane and realized how important it is to have cash money with you. :D They should really tell that to Americans before coming to Finland ;)

Enjoy the photographs!

Hyvää Ystävänpäivää!

So happy Friendship Day! :)

Since for many different reasons I don't believe in Valentine's Day I very much like the Finnish version: Friendship Day! Friends are in my eyes one of the most important thing in my life and often you don't thank enough for all the things they do for you! :)

So this is now my way to say thanks to all the people who are and were there for me to share joy and sorrow with me when I needed it. I love you all so very much and am very grateful that you are part of my life. :) KIITOS!

Stockholm



so my short trip to France was accompanied by a few hours in Stockholm and with 20kg of luggage i was walking for around 3 hours through the city (insane, I know!) and as always I like to share a few pics with you.
I'm not sure if i ever gonna like Swedish people but the capital has its beautiful sides. Especially during sunset. :D


PS Finally updated my picasa photo album with the last pics from January :) Enjoy
