Last day of daycare+ Linnanmäki

It was weird. I had a feeling that it'll be hard, since the end of a good period is always hard. So luckily I could go also when we picked up the twins from the daycare from their very last "eskari" day. It was so nice they said goodbye, but it was surprising and funny for me, when one of the girl after telling each teacher goodbye came to me and asked to take her up. First I thought she thinks she has to say bye to me as well, but then somehow she just came..
After this we went with the whole family to Linnanmäki (nickname: Lintsi, the amusement park in Helsinki). We separated, S. came with me and the twins and the parents went together. It was super cool. On the Vuoristorata, the oldest roller-coaster, we went 12 times, then 8 times on Linnunrata (inside the building in the dark a roller-coaster with some UFO things time to time). On these 2 I made some sound effects and it was so funny how no one knew it was me and not originally there and everyone was screaming :D We agreed with S. that Lintsi should pay for me because of the cool sounds  I  can entertain everyone. H. one of the twins told me in the end of the day that I should apply for the Muksupuksu train that's for the small kids, because I would be really good sound for it. (I have no idea what you have to do there since I couldn't go because it's really for small kids, but apparently it means it has a driver..)
I could talk S. to go on 2 things she's never been, because she was afraid of it. But in the end she even liked the Ferris wheel (Rinkeli). And on the scary roller-coaster (Tulireki) we went 5 times after all :D Well S. managed to convince me to go on Mustekala that is a spinning and  lifting octopus but it happen in the first half an hour and then I felt sick for 2 hours. We were on the smaller free fall thing but then once we agreed that she'll  go to the carousel while I'll go the the big -60m- free fall game (Raketti) and we meet after it.(good that it was next to each other. That was awesome!!
In the haunted mansion (Vekkula) there was a moving staircase and my trousers ripped, so after it was a bit funny to walk..
But before closing I went on Ukko, the scariest roller-coaster alone! So  I'm proud of myself that I tried it and survived :D
After almost  8hours I think everyone was exhausted, the twins went to bed right after dinner and slept :D

I need proper FOOD!!

I really do need proper cooked meal.
The last 3 days I've been eating bread and cheese which is sorry but not just boring but I'm starving.
But I guess it's just an other exotic food day maybe I should try to get some energy from the Sun..
I don't know how but I guess I should recommend for all Au pair applicants that ASK the family before coming, that how often you won't get food. This should be one of the first questions.because in that case it may even worth to pack your luggage with some ready food that you can put into the freezer and when it's time you only need to warm it up. -ok I haven't done such a thing- but right now I would  go wherever to eat a plate of cooked dish that doesn't contain pasta. According to this an other advice if they mention we eat a lot of pasta that definitely means they only eat pasta maybe once or twice you'll get fries or smashed potatoes and once a year rise..
But otherwise do become an Au pair it's fun and you can learn a lot, maybe you don't want to have kids afterwards maybe you wanna get pregnant immediately.. so several outcomes are possible.
And yes, I'm still hungry!

interesting



Ding dong?
On Saturday evening a couple left earlier a party because they wanted to watch the Eurovision song contest and someone asked back : "Ding dong?" Everyone just laughed and i had to think that it could't be the Hungarian ding dong song because everyone was Finnish.
When I got home Petra wrote me that the Finnish song was horrible and when I listened to it I could agree. On the other hand it's so bad that it gets stuck in your head and so today when Siiri came home from school we were singing it for 4 hours..
And today I managed to sing it in the cloak room after gym..
I hope everyone else'll have the same problem ;)

You know what?
Well,  I don't know either. Probably I should be fluent in Finnish by now and should be able to understand everything and so on. Apparently I do not understand everything I understand certain kind of topics and that's it.
I like to read and nowadays that I can read whatever I want I chose bus over bike just to be able to read.
And  I need ice cream. And cake. And tampons. But it's Ascension day so I have to go to the center to get those thing. Which I will right now. By bus. Center. S-Market. Walking with Jessik after it so afterwards it'll be a really nice and useful afternoon.

Seriously I don't understand nowadays what's going on.
It's getting lighter and lighter which is more than great and I went already a couple of times by bike and once for a run as well.
On Friday evening I decided to run 45min. I made my track list and then not knowing where to I just started to run. Eventually I ended up first in Vantaa, at that point I turned back and decided to run next to the river, but then the road ended so I had to turn back because even though I had my phone with me I didn't wanted to get lost (I can still remember November's 1.5 hour night tour). But at least it took exactly 45 min house to house. I just checked the distance and 7,2 km I don't know how good or bad it is according to the fact that I  don't run often (it means 3-4 weeks ). But after all it felt good. 


Yesterday after training I went to bike tour that was organised by IESAF and one of my "classmate" from the Finnish course was the host of the event, but the guides were real tour guides and they told us a loads of interesting facts about Helsinki. I didn't know  the half of it. The weather was super good, the sun was shining so I even got my sun-allergy activated.. and what I was the most afraid of after my friend called me that she locked herself out thus couldn't come that I won't have any company and will be alone with my bike for the whole tour, well I could talk to a couple of people and they were really nice :) And I met with the first Brazilian person who speaks German (it turned out he's half Austrian). I can say it was one of the best 3 hours this year!
And on Hakaniemi square during our coffee break stop we saw Tarja Halonen the former Finnish president (well I knew you can see her time to time there because she lives close and goes out to the market as every other person but some of the people were with the "omg" expression on..)
Today I was lazy and when I checked the time it was already way too late to go for the walking tour but I guess it could have been also super fun!












This year's Ice Hockey World Championship started on Friday, so far were 2 Finnish games, both of them Finland won: 4-3 against Germany and yesterday 2-0 against Slovakia. Hyvä Suomi!! 
Let's hope they're going to bee good enough to get to the best 4. And I'm really glad that last year and this year as well Finland-Sweden are the organizers and I can be here. 

And what I don't understand is people nowadays. I really hate when I finally think hat someone is more like  a friend and it turns out that I care 100 times more than (s)he about me. So maybe I should do like one of my Friend does: not to contact those people and see what would happen. And maybe  my fears would come true and none pf them would contact me. After all it wouldn't be so surprising since I'm the one who offers to meet  most of the time. I just don't understand WHY?? and I 'm telling it after I looked in the mirror so without any guilt! Booya!
