Heyyy

I'm leaving for Tokyo today!! The plane leaves in 5 hours so this is the last post from Finland :) I'm going to update some while I'm away but probably not that often (like I have been hahah) and I'll try tp upload pictures aswell. I'm a bit nervous but mostly excited, 4 weeks in the coolest city I've been to yet, with my friends studying, partying and shopping ;D (maybe not in that order haha) I've even managed to locate our apartment building with a little help from my friend GoogleMaps street view :D and that's because I don't have the adress yet :D
Okay, so I'll write more in Tokyo, bye for now!

Winter!

Hey,
it's finally winter with snow! The downside is that it's really cold atm, about -12 degrees *shivers* But I do prefer this to wet mush when the temperature is just above 0. And it was actually very pretty when I went in to town today to buy event tickets for my cousin. The sun was shining and I felt once again that Helsinki is my hometown and a nice one at that. Now, that doesn't mean that I don't ever want to leave, which I think I've proven with my endless complaints about saving money for Tokyo next year ^^ I love travelling but I also feel at home here in Finland. I just think that by travelling you can experience so many wonerful things that you wouldn't if you just stay put where you were born. Also meeting people from different cultures is fascinating to me.
Today I'm going to make chicken with chili and garlic~ I don't agree very well with spicy food but just a tad of heat is okay.

This week...

This week I'm gonna figure out what I want to study besides geography. But it's hard, because it has to be something that I'm interested in, otherwise I'll get sick of it in no time and not do well.

But I do have some good news too. I secured a job for autumn and spring and that brings me closer to my goal of going back to Japan next summer :) and since I'm working now and if I only ask for money for my birthday and Christmas, it'll be almost certain that I'll afford a trip to my beloved Tokyo and even have money to see some gigs while I'm there :) 

I love travelling in general too, not just whn it's travelling to Japan :) It's so much fun to see new places and get to know new people, they just have a totally different view on things and it can help you get some perspective of your own life too.

Have a good one,
