Spring Break part. 2 - Belfast

Hello mates and happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I promised to post video of our spring break's other part so here it is for the glory of St. Paddy's!

Me and guys headed to Belfast to see Dara and I absolutely felt for Ireland. I mean really. I'm no Finn anymore. People are the most amazing, country is absolutely beautiful and who wouldn't love to live with leprechauns?

We also traveled all the way up to North coast, saw foaming ocean, had amazing food with Guinness and Magners. Dara is probably the greatest tourist guide ever, I recommend her tour's if you ever happen to find yourselves from Belfast. Had also honor to meet her sweetest mom and be around when Dara's sister Hana made a surprise visit home! 

So with this video and my heart full of Ireland I want to wish Ireland happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope you all like the video! :)

Spring break part. 1 - Cologne

Hola amigos!

Few weeks ago we had a spring break and it was AWESOME with my crazy pigs and piglets. We took our backs and headed to Cologne for a long weekend. Saw lots of places, enjoyed german beer and hanged around. After Cologne we took few days rest in Leeuwarden and traveled to Belfast!

More about that in upcoming video. What did you mates do during spring break? Comment and don't forget to subscribe in Youtube. Enjoy the video flufferballs!

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!
