 Living, Studying, Working & Traveling in Finland

Today, I went to the canadian ambassy just to be told that I didn't have to go to confirm I was in Finland, like their website told me to do. I was rather mad to waste my time with thoses ladies that were really arrogant and mean toward me. *sigh* why do canadians have to be so f****** rude? they almost told me literaly to get the shit out of there because I was annoying them in their oh so busy schedule (there was no one there except me). After that rude morning, Outi and I went to meet up with Henna and Paatrik (a guy she met over internet that is annoying her a bit :/) at café Java. The guy was nice, but sometimes he was being weird. haha. we stayed there for about 3 hours talking and laughing, and then we splitted up to go back home. Outi and I spoke until 3 am. haha. I'm glad we get along so well!

sorry for the lack of updates. maintenance on the site, and well I am quite busy with school too. but some more posts are coming! I promise!

Today, nothing special happened. I got up around 12h30 (wow! haven't slept that long in a long time!). I didn't wake up because of the sun going up at 4am. haha. I stayed home and read my moomin comic, taking notes of the new words I didn't knew their meaning. I went for the second time since my arrival on the computer. haha. it seems like I barely have time to go on the computer! I sent some news to my family in Montreal, and then went out to go grocery shopping with Outi. We made some rhubarb juice, and it was fun. Ilari came over around 6pm and we watched that movie that the band Lordi made, its called "Dark Floors". The story and the special effects were quite crappy, but it was still fun to watch. When he left, we cooked ourselves some good makkara! Outi told me how she met her boyfriend Pasi (she told me about him on the first day, when we went to Ursula café). Her parents don't know about him... he is 34.. :S and is from Riihimäki. They met in a bar through a friend of hers. anyway. as long as she's happy, well then I'm happy. love doesn't have an age I guess. I should know that. but you still have to make sure it's not a bad person..
I spoke with my friend Wellu from Tampere, and it was quite fun. we have spoke to each other for over 2 years, and well even though we never met, we are just good buddies. ...

Today I went to fill a temporary residence document so I could get the bus/metro card. (HKL card). I finally got it, and after that, Outi, Reino and I went to Kauppatori, near the sea, to take a coffee and some finnish meat pie. It was really good! We went to the touristic building so we could find few things to visit, on rainy days. Reino went back home, and Outi and I headed to the Suomalainenkirkko (the White cathedral) and Uspenski (the russian church). We also walked around the small kiosks in Kauppatori, where I bought smalls souvenirs for a few friends (those moomins cellphone things). We walked on Pohjois-Esplanadi and visited the design shops, such as Marimekko, iittala, aarikka, pentik, etc. They are really awesome shops, but its quite expensive! I went to the canadian ambassy to register as a canadian abroad.. but it was closed, since it was "canada day". I didn't think of it since I don't celebrate it, as a french canadian.
we went to Karl Fazer. I was so hyper when I saw it! I hate some Karl fazer dark chocolate in Montreal once, and its the best chocolate ever! You have to go there and eat chocolate, or ice cream. Henna came and joined us there!
We went to Stockman and the akateeminen kirjakauppa where I bought a moomin comic book in Finnish (best way to learn new words!).
We watched the movie Bon cop bad cop I gave to the host family, and everyone laughed a lot! I spoke with Outi until 3 am, and I am really glad we became really close friends...

Today I woke up again around 4 am because of the sun. haha! But I slept until 10. Henna came over today and we cooked some awesome chocolate muffins! It's funny to see how much she went through some rough times in school, just like I did. Well seems that bullying isn't only happening here. I guess this is probably one reason why we get along so well. We also went to the local library in Paloheinä, where I rented a comic book (viivi ja wagner) in finnish. Then Outi and I went to Helsinki to go get my bus/metro card, but they needed a proof I was living in Helsinki to give me the vard. We will go back tomorrow! Suvi, the older sister, came over for supper! she speaks well french! she studied in a french high school. weird. it's not like if french was very useful in Finland! Outi and Soile also speaks french quite well!

Hei! tänään on sunnuntai 29 kesäkuussa. Olin hotelissa aamulla, ja nyt olen isäntäperheessäni. Kaikki on aika kiva. Talo on iso ja kaunis. Huoneeni on tosi mukava. elämä on aika hiljainen täällä. Sitten kuin menimme kotiin, söimme ulkona, ja oli aurinkoista. Perheeni on aika ystävällinen. Olin vähän säsynyt ennen kun menin Helsingin keskustaan Outin kanssa. Siellä kävelimme Helsingissä, merin lähellä ja menimme Ursulan Kahvilaan. Oli hauskaa, ja otin mustaa kahvia. Sitten, menimme Esplanadi-puistoon, koska Outin ystävien menivat siellä. Henna ja Ilari ovat aikakin ystävällinen! Nyt Henna ja mua olemme jo kaverit. Sitten sen, menimme taas kahvilaan Pohjois-Esplanadinkadulla ja puhuimme 10.30 jälkeen! Sen jälkeen tulimme takaisin kotiin. Ai niin... suihka on aika omituinen! haha.
öitä!
