Im Back!!!

Hello Ladies and Gentleman!! Its finally my second week in Finland! Alot of things happened this week... Don't worry, I keep it short and sweet!:D

I have sucessfully washed my first load of laundry:D It was a challenge because everything was in Finnish and you didn't know what buttons to press haha!! This also applied to the drying machine, I was to AFRAID that my clothes would catch fire:D But fortunately everything turned out well!!

Just a day before, Minna Junttila, my coordinator arranged for me to visit the Pereunka Spa Centre 25 kilometres from the City Centre. Its really a Fantastic Place, with a beautiful lake view and Lots of Snow:D:D However, I felt pretty left out as I was with a group of European Union students from Germany, Slovenia and Spain... As I was the only Asian on the Bus, I felt really uncomfortable and weird!!! I was totally struck down when one of the girl said to me," Sorry but this is not a Public Bus!" Immediately, I was like," HELLO!!! DO I LOOK LIKE A STUPID SUB-HUMAN ASIAN!!!!?!?!?!?!"

Nahhhhh, I didn't dare... I simply told her, " Im going for the same tour as you guys.. and I know this is not a Public Bus!" She became so embarrassed that We didn't talk to each other ever since! LOL:D Well of course things got better as I got the chance to meet some really nice people such as Elina, Minna, Doris of Germany, Pekka and many others!! They certainly made me feel comfortable!!:)

It has been snowy these past few days... and windy too!! Thats why it felt like -10 degrees celsius!! Snow is really really beutiful I must tell you, however it has its disadvantages!! It feels like flour and piles up on roads and EVERYWHERE!! It makes walking and cycling difficult!!! This was the major problem I encountered today as my bicycle got stuck in at least 50cm of snow, at Prisma Supermarket in Keljonkeskus (Keljo Centre), two kilometres away... The snow took me almost 30 minutes just to travel 2 kilometres!!:( It was really difficult but at least I got some exercise hehe:D

And oh yes... I FINALLY GOTTEN MY LONG-AWAITED FURNITURE... ALL FOR ONLY 30 EUROS ( It includes a Bed, mattress, desk and Chair.... SOooooo CHEEEEAAAAPPPPP:D
Finally things are beginning to settle down!! Thats all folks... I have also posted pictures on facebook so do check them out:D Take care and miss you all!!
