Hi! Okay, let me tell you something. I don't really like it when people ask me time after time with that certain overly worried tone in their voice 'am I still doing okay, do I feel comfortable being somewhere/with some people, have people been nice to me and so on' (I also know it may just be a part of this culture here but still... too much is too much). And that look people sometimes give to me... It's the most frustrating thing of all of it. How worried about me are they?? C'mon... I'm doing just fine, why wouldn't I? There's an ocean I just looove, I'm finally recovering from a flu I had for over a week which means I can go running again soon and the weather is getting nice and warm. I'm also perfectly capable of taking care of myself and I've been like that always (I'm not exaggerating, I'm like the most independent and stubborn person ever.. Also in a bad way. ^.^' That's one reason why my personality is so difficult... Haha. Maybe that's also why I'm still single... Lol. (≖ ‿ ≖) (ᗒᗨᗕ) Got side tracked a bit again, oops.) Anyway, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to be with people, not at all, I love spending time and having fun with friends and family. But you know, being alone is not bad either! It's good sometimes to spend time just by yourself, you learn so many new sides of yourself and you can do just what you want to do. You don't have to share your time with anyone, you can have a coffee and read a book, go swimming or running, go shopping and find those perfect jeans you've been looking for two years or you can learn how to play guitar. You choose what you do! So why people think it's so horrible or worrisome to spend so much time alone? Of course if you are always alone people may start to think there's something wrong and then they start worrying. And there's always a reason for being alone, no-one is alone without a reason to do so. It's good if someone notices you are alone a lot when you really wouldn't like to be alone and asks if everything is ok but after being alone a few weeks or days... That's not a long time for real, so please people, don't be too concerned and give me that look. Or in anyone's case, not everybody likes to be questioned so much that it feels like you have to tell your whole life story.

Okay did that make any sense? Was that unclear enough? Was that enough of telling you how I don't like that too worrisome part of people? I think I sometimes have hard time to explain what I mean in a way it still makes some sense. -(n.n)-

Oh do you know what I really like to do! When I feel like 'today I look nice and I really like the clothes I'm wearing', I just love going out for a walk and being that confident me, maybe also do some shopping or go have a coffee. I just feel so good that it would be a shame to stay indoors sitting on a computer or watching television. ＼(ﾟｰﾟ＼)  〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜  <- that actually looks a lot like me... ;')

Look what I found :P Had to buy those...

Traveling

Hiii! And sorry it's been so long since I last wrote here... I've been so busy for these first two weeks I've spent in Sydney. I've seen a lot of places, met so many new people that it's impossible to remember everyone of them, seriously I've met at least one new person everyday (so that I've been introduced to that person and actually had a chat), maybe mostly 20 people/day. That's a lot. I'm not gonna write much this time but you'll have a lot of pictures so you can get some image of my past two weeks to your heads. -(ü.ü)-

 

Okay, my host-mum and her sister made steamed buns. They are both reeeeally amazing cooks. Those buns are delicious btw...

 



 

 

And I've had so much good coffee... I might need to take a break from drinking it or I'll become addicted to it. ;P

 

 

We made this trip to the city. We went to see Bondi beach, Watson Bay, Botany Bay and can't remember rest of the places.

 

 

 

I went running before it got dark. I've already found one way where I like to run. ;)

 

 

I went to this one flower garden quite near our place, it's very beautiful place.

 

 

We had a lot of people visiting my host-family and of course we also had a lot of DELICIOUS food. Crabs, prawns, Vietnamese rolls, salmon, salad... and so on.

 

 

You got to have a dessert after that dinner.

 

 

I went to visit Canberra with my host-family and my host-mum's two sisters. On our way to Canberra there was this huge sheep... o.o Don't quite understand it but my host-dad told me that some cities/towns here have their own "symbols" or mascots what ever you wanna call them. And this was one of those.

 

 

In Canberra we went to the tulip festival, Black Mountain and Botanic Garden.

 

 

We saw wallabies. -(0.0)-

 

 

One breakfast my host-mum made me... O.O That's not what I always eat here.. Just a rare occasion, trust me. -(^-^)-

 



 

Haha... There was so much food in this post. Well... I've got so much good food now when my host-mum's sister from Malaysia has been with us for two weeks, so all that food describes my time here so far very well.

Australia

Oh hi everyone and greetings from Australia! ;) Finally I'm here!! I came here last Tuesday, my flight took 29 hours.... Including two stops in Milan and Hong Kong. But I didn't get too lost when looking for my next flights. \(ü.ü)/ How cool is that. In Milan I had to ask for advise two times before finding my gate and in Hong Kong I had company. There was this Finnish guy sitting almost next to me from Helsinki to Milan and for both of our surprise we were sitting on the exact same places on the flight from Milan to Hong Kong. Haha! -(n.n)- So when we got to Hong Kong I asked him if I could just go with him and then we both went to look for our flights. He went to Taipei and I continued my trip to Sydney. It was so nice to meet him, these acquaintances you probably never see again.

So now I've been here for three days and I think the most difficult thing is to find my way from point A to B. I just always get lost. Especially when I go to that shopping mall near the place I live in. I've been there now every day and still when I'm there I have absolutely no idea where I am. Oh this bad sense of direction I have... And you know, here are crows that sound like a mix of a cat and a child screaming. Today one of those flew over me from behind and made that voice and it totally startled me. I really thought there was some cat coming fast from behind me... And then the sound came over me and I noticed it was that damn bird. But then here are many other beautiful and much nicer birds too! And I can't be without mentioning how wonderful and kind these people here are. Really, Finns are like the opposites from Australians. Today I met quite a few people at the church I'll be working at and they all seem so lovely! Also my host-parents and that family friend I've mentioned before and his mother are too wonderful, amazing people. I think I can get myself to fit in here eventually, the beginning is always a bit hard. Especially with English as a language because even though I can speak English quite well I haven't had to use it a lot in Finland. So sometimes I just forget the words or don't pronounce them right or so. ^^' Hopefully my English gets better in time. Fingers crossed.
