past few days

Well in the past few days I havent done much.
I took some photo's while i was one the train of the country side and other stuff....like cars piled up on trucks on the side of the motorway.




I have learnt how to use chop sticks haha. On Sunday we went to a place called Mikkeli. It took 2 hours to get there. We had a really nice lunch and then we visited a garden place just outside of Mikkeli.







On Monday I was at my host mothers shop. I went for a walk for about an hour around the city. I went into a petshop and the guy started talking to me in finnish and I said I dont speak finnish to him in finnish and he said ok then walked away. Maria said most people in Finland are shy. It was my first day at school today. Thats going to be hard. I'm going to be riding a bike to school haha. Everyone in Finland rides bikes. Its crazy.

This is Fluffy. She's 4 months old. She's little and she likes to bite feet haha

hours of flying and first day in Finland

wow

i'm actaully here. it took so long to get here but i've finally made it to finland. the flight from auckland to singapore was cool cause we got our own tv's and little remotes and we could watch anything...from new releases to tv programmes to even playing games. the airport at singapore was pretty cool but i think i ate something bad so the whole next flight from singapore to frankfurt (the longest out of the three) i was in a bad mood cause i felt sick and i couldn't sleep properly and they were the most uncomfortable seats in the world. my host family are pretty cool. my host mum has pink hair at the moment hehe. it looks pretty cool. well i'm off to bed. first proper sleep in a couple of days haha.

PEACE OUT FROM FINLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
