Featured story entry from 427

I am currently in the Finnair plane, on my way to Helsinki. I left home yesterday around 6h20pm, and arrived in Paris around 5h45 am. I had a drink with my parents before going onboard, and I ate well on the flight to Paris. Hmm, Raviolis and Quiche! it was good!
I'm not too tired, well, I am, but I am looking so much toward being in Finland that it feels like I am not tired at all.
I am lucky, I am right next to a window, on both flights. It's funny to hear the pilot speaking Finnish! it's not like I would hear it everyday back in Montreal. But I can understand most of what is said. Well good to know my hard work has succeeded. I took a Ilta-sanomat when getting on board, so I had something to read during the flight.
I am soon landing! I'm really excited. Outi, my host sister, sent me a birthday moomin card, and I just received it yesterday, only 2 hours before I left to the airport. It was written in Finnish, and it really made me happy.
I will write again before going to bed. Now I must meet up with the other AFS exchange students from USA, Italy, Venezuela and Australia, as well as the AFS Finland workers.
nähdään!
