Time has passed

Terve Terve

Time flew away!
One year ago I was thinking at this time of the year, what I should pack for going to Finland. Ok, I have to admit that I was thinking about this pretty early, because I flew to Finland at the end of August ;-)
Since my last post a lot happened and it would take me ages to write everything down. But few highlight should be shortly mentioned:
The first two weeks of April I spent in China with the InsightChina project of my University. The day I left Joensuu I got the e-mail that I was accepted for the project and that I could go for two weeks to China. The time there was really incredible and very fascinating! We visited the following cities: Beijing, Lanzou, Qingdao and Shanghai. Basically the whole trip was very good with one exeption: the stay in Shanghai. After having one of the best dinners I ever had in China, I got a food poisoning. I know the hotelroom pretty good now but for the rest of Shanghai - I can't say a lot, unfortunately! The flight back home was a torture because of my stomach... Back home everything was ok again (after few days).
After beeing in China I missed Michael so much, that I booked a flight to Berlin to see him. We had wonderful days in sunny Berlin. I enjoyed the city much more than I did when I was there in December. Perhaps because of the season? Everything was green and much more friendly. We even visited the famous ice bear Knut - that was really cute!
Then, few weeks later, at the end of June, my sister got married. The marriage was very nice and well organised :-) My sister was very very beautiful and I'm very happy for both of them. Let's see when their personal next highlight will come in form of a baby ;-)
Yea, and that's about it.... not too exiting, no trips to the polar circle or party weekends with lots of vodka. Exept for one which ended bad - very bad!
So now I'm still studying to finish my exams which will happen on the 25th of July. Then of course: Party!!!
On the 28th of July Michael will defenetly come back from Berlin and I'm looking very much forward to that! I start to miss him a bit over here, so it's time to come back home now!

Well... if someone of my Erasmus-Friends should still once in a while check this link I hope that you are happy to read some news about myself. I would be happy if you could drop a line so we can keep in touch! Especially Tura who seem to disapear, I can't reach her neigher via e-mail nor can I call her.. does anyone have some information about her?

Ok, it's time to go - hope to read from you!
