Hello together :-)
That's what I wrote after I came back from Finland:
I am in the train right now and there’s nobody around. I feel a little lonely but I think it’s a good chance to rethink the last week.
I have spend 6 amazing days in Finland and that’s mainly because of all the beautiful and nice people I met! But first I want to say something about Finland:
Finland is extremly peaceful and a wonderful country. I have never seen so many forests and lakes. It’s a wonderful place to relax and chill. So if you want to have some time for yourself or want to escape the hectic of life go to the finnish countryside! But Finland has more to offer: Helsinki. Halsinki has some great cultural heritages and the clash between northern and eastern influences makes it extremly beautiful.
But enough about Finland let’s talk about my week:
Saturday/Sunday: We (Ninna, Mariliis and I) spent two great days in the Salminen’s summercottage. I really recommend that place because you have a lovely lake, a nice wooden cottage, a finnish saune (where I haven’t been because we forgot the time while building ships :D ) and there are even some swans around!
Monday: Visit of Soumenlinna. It’s world cultural heritage and a big fortress. We walked around the island and saw some interesting things as well as having fun. And when I talk about us I mean Ninna, Aino and me.
Tuesday: We went tot he capital of Estonia which is Tallin. We saw a lot of old buildings and a lovely city. And for sure Estonia is really cheap for shopping (in contrast to Finland).
Wednesday: The most exciting day oft he week J We went to school :D Yeah though I have got holidays I went to school VOLUNTARILY… It was great to see finnish people learn German and kinda be a part oft hat ;-) Afterwards we went to Helsinki zoo to see a moose but guess what… no moose in the zoo L :D
Thursday: Because the school day was extremly exhausting ( and a little boring except fort he German lessons) I slept in and then I had a wonderful long breakfast outside with Ninna’s mum Iina. After Ninna came back from school ( haha) We went to some Helsinki sightseeing (A MUST)
Friday: L I had to leave L A sad day but remember: no goodby just a SEE YOU LATER!!!
Okay and finally some last words about what was most important: all the people I met. It was so nice to see Vivii and Antti again (you are weirdos you two :D) and of course Markus J And Mariliis <3 We had some great killer-moose stories and whenever I see the moustache boy I have to think about you. So you better ged oudda here! ;-) And my host family <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING and the nice and warm welcome!
I am so looking forward to my next trip to Finland!
