Im sorry guys I didn't managed to blog yesterday!! Only one major event happened yesterday: I ice-skated in FINLAND FOR THE FIRST TIME:D Hehe it was certainly an adventure, AT LEAST FOR A TROPICAL GUY LIKE ME:D (I KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING NAT I KNOW IT!!! hehe:D) I didn't manage to take any pictures, YOU KNOW WHY!
But ice-skating brought me another surprise:) It gave me many opportunities to interact with the Finns:) Its true they look cold and don't smile very much. However, I tried greeting them and SUCCESS:D Every single person I greeted never failed to greet back with a Big Fat Smile!!! It was good feeling baby! Today's church was really interesting, I believe it to be a combined service. The elderly was performing song items and a traditional finnish dance (I believe) that was really interesting!! Heres the clip:D
Its really interesting to see the wide variety of Christian denomination practices. Lutheran was certainly a more personal and lively approach to christianity:D Love the service!
I went back after church, managed to clean the whole apartment and tidied my room. Next I picked up my ice skates and headed for the lake... To my disappointment, the lake was pretty crowded with people. Being a really bad skater, I felt really embarassed to step onto the rink... It was really weird but ive never felt like this before, maybe its because I was tired and alone hahaha:D Anyway I managed to catch some exercise by cycling to and from the lake back to my apartment!
Thats all folks for this great week! I hope things get better when Antti and Mikko comes back hehe! Il upload more pictures soon onto to facebook so do look back!!
