Weird dutch things being weird.

Hallo!

After a long time I finally dragged my ass in front of the laptop and filmed something! YEII!
Unfortunately had problems with the audio of my gopro, so laptop needs to do it now.

So during my stay here I've noticed the weirdest things going around me and I wanna share few of them with you guys. These are just to mention few and for some people these must be the most normal things ever. But I find them weird as fuck. Enjoy the video and let me know what kind of odd things you've seen while traveling around the world!
And sorry mom for cursing. Sori.

I look like Quasimodo

Hola Amigos!

I've been here for two amazing weeks and today I was suppose to make a fabulous video telling all  the cool and weird things about Leeuwarden. BUT I've been feeling bit sick for few days and today woke up with eye infection and no voice left so making video would be quite silent one. I also happen to look like Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. And no, I'm not kidding, we seriously look like twins. Siblings at least. 

So because of my extremely swollen eye, voice like a ghost and fact that I'm pissed of as a squirrel when it's nuts are frozen during winter in Finland, I am not posting video today. I'm also really lazy and I have shitloads of school things I should be doing instead of this post. But I'm trying to get my act together and post a video next week. 

But so you would hear at least a bit whats going on I'll tell in nutshell:

- World is full of amazing people and I think at least 100 of the greatest happened to move to Leeuwarden for this semester.

- It IS possible to miss Finnish winter and -30c weather. It happens when you are driving a bike next to kanal and wind is trying to pull you in there because wind is a bitch.

- Stroopwafels = diabetes

- I'll never again wonder why exchange students are always hanging out just with the other exchange students.

- My semester is gonna be full of studying. Amazing courses and assignments, but I'll have to study more I've ever studied in Tampere.

- I'm pretty sure dutch people appreciate bicycles more than human life.

- I've saw one pair of wooden clogs. They aren't that common here.

Thats all for this time, I'll try to calm my eye and get better soon, so I could be posting more stupid things here!

The Long and Windy road to Leeuwarden

Hey ho there!

I survived to Leeuwarden and I've been here almost a week already! Been busy meeting all these great new people and trying to find my way in the city. Streets are really tiny and twisty so finding my way around is sometimes so hard. But I'm surviving. I will survive. YEAH YEAAAH.

Something even more twisty was the trip from Tampere to Leeuwarden. After saying goodbyes to all the important people in my life, traveling for over 8 hours taking three trains, two flights, bus ride and lots of steps wasn't too fun. Luckily I had my camera and filmed all the stupid and amazing things from the trip and the first few days. 

I also wanna thank Nita for being a darling and helping me about the exchange things and being amazing host for the first few days here, you are one tough viking there, have fun in Finland!

Now for the video, hope you enjoy it!

Golden memories, weird things and useless stuff

Hello there everyone!

My first video is here and its totally awesome. Well at least the intro is! 

Quality is potato because I'm quite blind, but don't worry I have solution for that - Uppa drinking game: Drink every time I say "that", "this" or "amazing". And after a while quality doesn't seem so big thing anymore! 

Enjoy the video and have amazing weekend you hamsters there!

The beginning and the start of all the starts and beginnings

Hello there!

As most of you know, I'm leaving for student exchange to Leeuwarden, Netherlands at the end of the January. I decided to create this blog/vlog so you all (probably only mom and dad) can see whats going on, how is living in another country going and what I'm up to.

Because I'm lazy to write I'll be posting mostly videos and pictures. Posts will be both in english and in finnish, depending on my day and mood and how much unicorns there are in the same room. Because that DOES matter a lot.

Thats for the beginning, I'll be posting soon again so stay tuned!
