It's lucky to have friends around the world - a perfect excuse to travel! At the moment one of my friend study in university of Brno so I had opportunity to visit in Czech to know that second biggest city of it. There are a lot of students in Brno and several international line also (or that's the impression which I get). I can't call Brno as a beutiful city or even pretty but it's fascinating like every old towns. You can spend there few days or week but during that you'r seen mosty all what theres to see. Few museum, few big and several smaller churc, some castels like Castle of Spielperg top of the hill midlle of forest park -and from where you have a great wiev over the city (or you could if it's not too misty like when we were..)<br /><br />We spend one day at smaller and older city called Olomouc -and that was pretty town! I love this small old cities wich are kept their old faces. There was old astrological clock, same as Prague and we were lucky to be there 12o'clock to see that moving the time. I can recommend Olomouc for everyone. It's truly good spirit town!<br /><br />Food in Czech was quite much what I expect; fat with cream, cheese, salt and sugar. It wasn't always easy to get vegetarian food and even harder to get healthy food.. but we were only 4 days so we try to enjoy as local food as possible (and didn't think about calories). Beer is most common drink in everywhere there and at Brno there is also few big brewery. We visit only in the brewery restaurant of Starobrno.<br /><br />And of course we were watscing a hockey game of local team - and they won 7-1!! Yeah! Perhaps because of that the athmosphere was truly amazing. I've image that finnish are hockeypeople but czech are much vigorously!<br /><br />We fly to Vienna and rent a car from Vienna airport for those four days we spend there. It was easier way to move there with three people and paggages. I drove. It was my first time really drive away from finland and first I was really really nervous... but things went fine and we get finnish speaking navigator into car which help a lot. Vienna is hugh tangle for driver but we handle that ok and czechs motorways are like a colefield comparing finnish plump roads so when speed was nearly 150km/h it feels like you've drive motorboat on the waves.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-79106876866692684752008-10-03T05:33:00.000-07:002008-12-11T01:07:02.246-08:00Roma - september 2008Roma - I was there and I wish I would still be there...<br /><br />A Good Trip! Weather was better than fine, whole week was sunny and about +30'C so warm but not too hot. We had plenty of program but we try to take everynting quite easily whitout stress or too tight timetables.<br /><br /><strong>FOOD </strong>is so good in Italy - at least if you know the right Restaurants. Definately the best pizza of the word could get from <em>Da Bafetto</em> (Via del Governo Vecchio, 114) And best pasta from <em>Edy</em> (Vicolo del Babuino, 4) Gelato is naturaly good in many gelateria but for me the best place is <a href="http://www.giolitti.it/">Giolitti</a> -Definately, every taste are sooo good! Especially cinnamon, yogurt bianco and ACE. Few other very good gelateria are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNSv7MCLjdY">Della Palma </a>(yogurt bianco, raffello..<3) <a href="http://www.ilgelatodisancrispino.it/">San Crispino</a> (plum and ginger-cinnamon)<br /><br /><strong>Fashion </strong>you can't speak same time from finnish shops and italian boutiques... There is just too much and only limited count of money. I found 5 new bag and 3 new high heels, 2 dress and 5 skirt and many nice azessorices <3 But too many tourist shop with nonusefull staff, too many people who want just your money and don't wan't serve you if don't look good. I love Italy and I definately can think to live there but every country, every city and village have also them bad sides.<br /><br />Very much to see. Mostly I've see before but you never bored to walk around the area of <em>Foro Romano</em> and <em>Palatino</em>, have a picnic at hot and dust <em>Circo Massimo</em> or help people take themself memoryphoto with <em>Colosseum. </em>We visit into many curch and cathedral as well as several crypt and all off those are different, many of them I'll remember always -like <em>Vatican</em> with all those amazing work of <em>Raffaello <3</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>One week is always too short...</em>GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-21664916259312177792008-08-29T05:18:00.000-07:002008-10-01T05:50:54.476-07:00Tallinn -August 2008Worktrip to Tallin and first time of my life I sleep a night at the Old Town of Tallin. Hotel Wana Tallin was situated near "main gate" to Old Town, along the main street and near good small shops but unfortunately I havn't time to make any shoppings :(<br />We ate dinner in <a href="http://www.peppersack.ee/">Peppersack</a> where food was good and service was ok but best part of this restaurant is building and its history. I've been there few times before and surely will come again.<br />Next day we visit in Rocca-al-Mare Open Air museum where I was last year with yoga school. It was ame but now I saw partly different areas and now we ate traditional lunc in museum restaurant. After museum we visit also in Zoo but I don't wan't to write about that. It makes me feel painful sadnes even some of those animals seems to be quite ok. Why don't we have humans behind those bars?<br />Cruising ships of Tallink was again awfull praxis.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-86133407641007430632008-08-20T04:49:00.000-07:002008-10-01T05:52:53.260-07:00Sziget was awsome again -august 2008Festival area was quite similar as year ago. And even festivals take only 5days I quess there was at least as many people as last. Good party peoples! Life! Colour! Lot of different kind of programs and possibilities, not just music but art, cultur, humanitary, civil activism, performans, theatre, museums, sports, extreme activitys... you could make clothes, paint T-shirts, sing or dance or play some games, there was role playing area and middle age fencing. Best what we seen was Kitonb -group of air acrobats (show was very ambitious with music, lights etc..) , Luminarium, Tarot labyrinth, Extreme climbing track, Marionetdoll -show of one French artist... A lot of, lot of fun for five day! And of course the best; MUSIC! Jamiroquai, R.E.M, Mory Kante, Roisin Murphy...many other on the stages and feral spirit of happening around the party arenas. Best was Meduza at day times; I'm very dissapointed about the main dj's -the music sucks! It was too much drum'n'bass the whole week on the whole area. I understand that some freeks likes to party d'n'b but can't understand why we all should listen that! well.. we still had enough good music, enough festival feelings -actually so much that I quess this was last Sziget at least for few next year...GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-26282177532942014932008-06-30T05:08:00.000-07:002008-06-30T06:12:55.738-07:0043 day till Sziget festival...Time goes very fast at summertime, sun shines and lot of nice happenings. So, festival -and Holiday- are nearly here!<br /><br />Program at the festival isn't as good as I'd wish but there is enough bands / artists / dj's I like to see -actually if the whole program would be full off my favourities it would be very difficult to choose when to go where -and fact is; we are going to festival, we are spending a holiday, it's not mean to run from place to another whitout any fexibility.. :)<br /><br />Only it's a little weird that there is so big part of program from 90's...where are all present hitts?!<br />At least these are still already on my schedule; MGMT, Alanis Morissette, The Presidents of the USA, Jamiroquai, Sex Pistols, Serj Tankian, R.E.M and The Wombats AND mostly want to see <strong>Pendulum Live</strong> (I've been on the dj gig and that was amazing!)<br />and of course the yekke yekke <strong>Mory Kante</strong> ;D<br />-perhaps I go to see also the finnish bands Alamaailman vasarat (I have no idea what they would play 'cause I've thought they are kind of haevyrock band but now they play on the world music stage) and Apocalyptica even I'm not a fan of that type of music but Hay, they are still finns!<br />These are on stages at evening time but natyrally we spend all nights dancing in Meduza or PartyArena -only I'm little dissapoint that there aren't any big names, perhaps all are good dj's and had mede a good mix but dj's with their own music like Gigi or Tiesto... Well, I can live with that.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-24819949223400332272008-06-18T23:01:00.000-07:002008-06-30T04:24:16.601-07:00One Rainy Day in Tallinn, EstoniaI take a one day free from work 'cause I'd done so much excess hours. That was a tuesday so nearly midlle of the workweek and it really make sooo good and gave extra energy for these last few work days (friday is common national holiday here - it's midsummer eve).<br /><br />We spend a day in Tallinn, mosty in Old Town - the part of city I prefer most. We had booked treatment packages from <a href="http://reval.sitepartner.no/">Reval Day Spa</a> so we spend 3 hours at spa. I get manicur, pedicur and dermatologic skin analysis, "Star SPA" facial treatment and chemical lash and Brow dyeing with Nutriol Eyelash treatment. Place was peacefull and very nice with light of candels, serene music and rose petals on the treatment pool. Service was custom and they spoke a good english. I really can recommend the place. Only the prices aren too cheap but I think it ok to pay for a good service :)<br /><br />Negative part duringt this trip was our shipping. We travel for first -and I also hope for last- time by Tallink Star to Tallin and aslo back. The ship is new and clean and nothing bad about that but... I had feeling like I've been on the playstation or in some other plasticreality. Big ship and only handful of people inside of there. And everything was automatic, selfservice. Worst of all was food service. A'la carte was closed and only choice was buffet where only server you met was at the door when you should paid before to go in from thre electric gate. Then palstic trays, disposable dish even wine and beer you should drink from plastic mug (not even plastic wineglass..) I don't wana tell about food but it was awful. Well we weren't hungry after that and we get a good laugh. One thing seems to be ok was sorting for different waste (at least bio and then the rest) but when we had finishd eating and I had -there at table- sort our bio waste and plastics to the different crowds...there suddenly (like from sky) walk one weitress, take both our waste crowds, smile for us and then we look how sho walk straight to the "normal waste box" and push all in :(<br /><br />What I learn about that... <em>Only the quick will survive!</em>GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-554891894965974672008-05-28T00:20:00.000-07:002008-06-30T05:08:00.058-07:00Roma - urbs aeternaFinally we found a perfect hotel for our week (my birthday week) in Roma. It's near to Spanich Steps so whole city centrum is a walking distance. Fligts are also booked so now we should just wait till end of August...and dream! :)GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-33109296518511858322008-05-08T23:49:00.000-07:002008-05-21T00:45:07.828-07:00One Beutifull Spring Day in LohjaSometimes its enough to travel to your neighborhoods. There are more to see close aroud are than we appreciate. Thats why I was positively suprised after that sunny and pretty spring day which we spent in our neighbor city Lohja yesterday. There are more to see what I had noticed before. Yeah I've visit there several times before in spa, market palce and in few of those several strawberryfarms but yesterday was totally different.<br /><br /><br />First we went more that six feet under (actually 80 meter under) into the <a href="http://www.lohja.fi/tytyrinkaivos/default.asp?kieli=826">Tytyri mine</a>. We had a quide who told uss about mine; its history and nowadays activity. Likmestonemine is still working somewhere +300 meter underground but there is museum and adventure route in about 80 meter underground. At the moment there is exhibition of 12 finnish glassartist which was quite interesting contrast for dark and unfertile old mine.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.lohja.fi/default.asp?sivu=1604&alasivu=1606&kieli=826">Alitalo Applevine</a>yard was a small vineyard keeped only by one family. They have a lot of animals there too but their mainlivin is from apples. They sell those to markets too and about 20% of apples goes via juice to wine or cider. They have 14 different type wine, some cider, liqueurs and some distilled beverage. We taste one sweet wine, one semidry and one sweet dessertwine. I like those even I don't usually prefer else than grapewines. I even bought 2 bottle these applevines; one semidry and one sweet dessetwine - for my mom 'cause its mothers day this week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/">Svartå Manor</a> get me back to the 18th century and make me gasp for an enchantment. So great, so beutifull, so amazing to find kind of place from here. And I'm actually been there as a child and can't remember nearly anything. I wonder how it's possible 'cause now it makes so huge inpression for me. I really wanna go there soon again and spend whole summer day in the beutifull garden and in interestind old manor. I can't descripe it well, so I just put some pictures...<br /><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 291px; HEIGHT: 207px" height="209" alt="" src="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Slottet/DSC00747.JPG" border="0" /><a href="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Slottet/Kopio%20Linnan%20avoin%20ovi.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 208px; HEIGHT: 206px" height="238" alt="" src="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Slottet/Kopio%20Linnan%20avoin%20ovi.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Parken/DSC00853.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 238px; HEIGHT: 182px" height="231" alt="" src="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Parken/DSC00853.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Parken/DSC00757.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 256px; HEIGHT: 181px" height="226" alt="" src="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Parken/DSC00757.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mustionlinna.fi/Bilderna/Parken/DSC00853.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I try to remember that I don't allways need to travell so far to get these experiments.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-34664818996776493572008-04-16T00:17:00.000-07:002008-04-16T00:25:59.222-07:00Need to change scenery<em>The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.</em><br /><em>-St. Augustine</em><br /><em></em><br />I'm so fed up to live this regular, meaningless life and stay in these same circles in the same small cities in the so same and so small and so blunt Finland.

Can't wait, can't wait... Hotel seems to be good and nice but it was very cheap compared to flights which cost 40% more than the hotel for 8 nights with skandinavian breakfeast. But I'm glad I found this discount =)<br />'Cause of Szíget festivals are this year only 5 days we have 3 whole days just for city and shopping which means we can concentrate better to festivals while we don't have to hang around the city every day.<br />Hungary here we come!!!<br />And that will be on August.

Sunshine nearly everyday, not too much so the snow was still snow -not a water but enough to warm and get colour into my face. We rent a cottage with 2 beathroom, sauna and a big living room with fire place. It was clean, quite new and cute with all comforts (disk mashine, microowen, tv and cable cannels) so nearly perfect -exapt those thousands ants whom also live in one corner of kitchen. So we definately didn't keep our foods in that corner! Otherwise I like the cottage very much and actually I learn to live with ants quite quickly -only the first day was a little chaotic...<br /><a href="http://www.tahko.com/int/index.php?lId=2&cId=44">Tahko</a> is nice freetime centre with several activities. I spend nearly whole week on hill with my snowboard and was sooo ecstatic! Didn't have time this winter (yeah, <em>What Winter!</em>?) to go snowboarding so I have to take all enjoy from this possibility. Of course we use the restaurants while we were on holiday, not doing homeworks (well, cooking is nice sometimes and yes, we did food our own twice durin that week) For all those tahko restaurants I can really really recommend <a href="http://www.syvarinkunkku.com/eng/welcome.php">Syvärin Kunkku </a>which is atmospheric small medieval restaurant near slopes. food was great, service was kind, menu wasn't too long but very good and there was quite long and quality beer menu also (more than 40 different beers) well, I didn't drunk those but my beerlover-father praised those were excellent. You can't eighter forgot <a href="http://www.liinamaapalvelut.com/english/pehkubaari.asp">Pehkubaari</a> which are on the top of the hill and where is good soap lunchs, happy after-skis and many spcialities like old time sauna, cabinet for companies or partys etc..<br />There is good spa and wellness centrum also but we utilize only the bowling-hall. Didn't play my best but made at least one full strike and didn't lose many points for my mom.<br />I had an excellent holiday 'cause of lot of fresh air, exercise, good food, lovinf company, enough sleep and a classik book (I read Little womens since a long time)GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-14483792786982936192008-03-20T01:34:00.000-07:002008-03-20T04:33:07.887-07:00Stockholm via ms Viking Mariella / March 2008It was cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm and back -again. And it feels too many times made-up. People around the boat are so same kind of as always, personal seems to be the same but fed up with their works and whit all those brainless customers. I have no idea why people seems to leave their brains home when they start a vacation. On these cruising boats it's even worst than usually. Alcohol, too much alcohol, gamblings, raunchy speaks, courting... Lot of teenagers, midlleage who search some variation for their conventional life, Asians..and us. Yaeh. Sometimes, like on these last trip, it really seems we'll be the only normal persons on the big boat. Haa..!<br />So viking line was something I don't necessarily want to suffer in the short run.<br />But Stockholm shows its nice sides again, even the feather was grey and gloomy. Södermalm is still my favorite palce in Stockholm. We take also a walk around the Old Town and ofcourse there's a lot of nice small boutiques but its like most of old towns; turists, turism, business, nothing original, nothing typically swedish. I know it's nowadays same nealry all around the world, in every small villages. Those McDonalds-H&M-VeroModa-Burberry blaa, blaa things. Still most of the places, all the good places have something their own too. Something original, something from which you really feel where you are. I haven't found that ambiance from Stockholm yet but in Södermalm I've get most close to that.<br />Narrow alleys, small old woody houses, cats, dogs, schools and nurserys. Ordinary life all around you. Sonorous swedish ja smiling eyes on peoples on the streets or shops. Or perhaps it's me who see just I want to see. Perhaps its because of holiday. I feel it's a real holiday when you don't think about home, work, upcoming day or anything else you see and feel at that moment. On that Wednesday 12th March I really feel I had a holiday!GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-68368944559270859692008-01-01T23:27:00.000-08:002008-01-04T02:25:15.236-08:00Stockholm via m/s Viking Mariella - December 2007Yaeh. We were there and we came back. Alive.<br /><br />These boats...cruisings. I quess you all know what I mean. We had a nice and fun time because of ourself (no, I'm not a selfish) I mean 'cause it was nice to be together with P & M, we had a lot of talk and laugh about, dancing is nice with company, the food was good and champaign even better (with caviar and strawberries, of course) ...but then some of those cotravellers. Ugh. Too drunk, too stupid, too agressive, too harass. Personal on the boat are nice and many of them know me and my sister (we have a good glory -the sibling who dance like a crazy, who order all drinks without alcohol and who eat allways a blimey long time) now we had M with us and I quess she's coming with us also in Spring..so soon they'll know her as well ;)<br /><br />Stockholm shows its nice sides again. We spend whole day in Södermalm, walking a lot and visiting in a many small and interesting butiks. <em>Duka</em> was a nice found and we bought our parents christmas present from there (<a href="http://www.duka.se/sv/Sverige/Produktkatalog/Vart-sortiment/Ata/Porslin/Te--Kaffe-/282624/">Duka design espresso cup -set</a>).GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-66249110990264110172007-12-10T05:32:00.000-08:002007-12-10T05:42:48.419-08:00ChangesI spend so much time on LiveJournal and Facebook and -thank god- I have a real life too that this blog seems to be quite gratuitous.

It was something amazing! Something totally different than finnish rock festivals... I mean that there were loads of other things beside music... Theatre, dance, classical music, cabaret, performances, films, fine art, crafts, literary presentations, programs for kids, sports and other free time activities like logic games for me. All happenings, stages and event tents, restaurants, clothshops, record shops, sport areas were aroud that big island. Sziget means island in hungary and the festival has get it names from the place. Camping was allaround in festival-island. Every forest between those meny stages were full of tents. Around o'clock there happend something -the whole one week! DJ Party's, Reggae-, Jazz-, Soul-, WorldMusic-, MetalMusic-, Localartists...each of them had own stage and "village" aroud that; food and drink possibilities, cloths and other stuffs which might gratified those people who like to stay listening to just that music genre.<br />I saw Pink and Faithless and Sinead O'Connor and Within Temptations, SoulFly, Tool, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Negative and Hanoi Rocks and a lot of lot of other bands, one really good reggae band which name I don't know and few whose were ok...and of course those DJ's! Digital21 was amazing! also I like Dave Clarke and Motor and DJ duo Sharam/Deep Dish who play on last night. I have to go there next year again!<br /><br />We stay on Hotel Noé in north Buda. It was cheap but small, nice, clean Tennis-hotel with Sauna!!! -from the hotel was walking distance to HÈV train or bus stop so it was easy to move there. I had a one week bus ticket and I really use it travelling aroud city shopping, alone, with friends or just seeing views. Every time I visit in Budapest it feels smaller and smaller, perhaps because it's not strange anymore.<br /><br />The travel by bus was experience...yeah, I should use that word. Everything went fine and I could even sleep there but. Still. Next year I'll fly. Much more faster and comfortable. The best part of bus trip was staying in Cracow (2 nights) and visit in Auschwiz. Dark and gloomy place which make you serious but I think the dating just before oneweek festival was good; you don't have to stay too long in too dark feeling. Visit in Museum of House of Terror in Budapest wasn't good move from me... after auschwitz that was too much so I nearly walk through the museum whitout fucusing for those horribles. Whereas the Unicum Museo was really nice target. There was enough humor, not too much facts and of course the possibility to taste those legendary herbal bitters... I can recommend that but perhaps not to drinking those first in the morning into empty stomach. At least I couldn't.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-1915141885902082632007-07-31T02:25:00.000-07:002007-07-31T02:31:59.094-07:00I haven't write a lot.<br />I haven't done a lot lately.<br />Only work, golf and home-yoga.<br />Being at home alone, with cat friend or family.<br />But on weekend, next weekend, the busses starts and we go to the adventure! Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Hungary...Budapest and the Sziget-festival!<br />more about that later...GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-34031746968139132292007-07-10T03:50:00.000-07:002007-07-10T04:42:58.104-07:005th Summer trip - Laulasmaa / EstoniaThe last week was fabulous! 7 days Yoga retreat in wellnes spa between blue see bay and silence ancient pine forest which make me think about lappland... Weather was fine and we had enough program from early morning to late night -so I slept like baby whitout any medicins. Food was fresh, healthy, mostly organic and athmosphere was kind and peaceful. My body thank's me likewise my mind -I'm like a reborn during last week...I just hope that I can keep this feeling - or perhaps develope this even better...'couse I'm Happy now and I like the feeling!<br /><br />There was 60 of uss from Finland and I didn't know anyone else before (exept Kylli) but all of them were so wonderful and nice people and I guess after this there is always some friend in <em>Shanti</em> when I go to yoga...nice.<br /><br />We visit also in Rocca-al-Mare Open Air museum which situatead quite close to Tallin. That is a place where would be nice to spend whole summer day with no hurry... The area is similar then Seurasaari in finland. There is saved 11 farm coplexes from around of estonia -from 1700 anniversary- and you can get a good picture of estonian village life in different era (well...there's no big diff whit finnish life) but I can recommend this for everyone who are interested about history. Like I'm. I like to walk aroud and create my self living in that age and wondering if I'd live there in my former life... ;DGelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-2675794756334700282007-06-25T23:56:00.000-07:002007-12-10T05:28:08.574-08:00midsummer and alcoholmidsummer fest...oh la la...I don't wana say what I think about those -on generally- My weekend was peacefull. I laid on beach, reading and listening music, I walk around in empty city and eat ice cream -at the same when most of the finns drink too much alcohol somewhere on their cabins, burn themselves while grilling sausages or sink on the lake 'cause they have to go boating even they are pissed as a newt... yeah... I love midsummer (uh!)<br /><br />can't understand why people wan't to be so drunk? now in summertime there is all around those drunk people who don't seem to be very happy...they spend their holidays drinking alcohol, lost all their moneys for that and get what?!...an awfull hangover or crapulence of moral. Well, we all made our own choises...GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-54983999388332246062007-06-24T22:54:00.000-07:002007-06-24T23:21:07.625-07:004 th Summer trip - Stockholm/Sweden part IIWe were again in Stockholm -Jiihaa- now by Silja Serenade which was nicer boat than Viking Mariella. The mean point was again stockholm not the ship -actually the point was buy more make up's from Åhlens. It's shame that finland is such a woop woop that we have to seek all new products from foreign countries. Thank god Sweden is more up-to-date and close enough uss. Well, now I have new compact powder and new colour eye shadow from <a href="http://www.isadora.com/default.asp?firstlevelid=200331318130544">IsaDora's</a> mineral make up -I'm loving those!<br />On the boat there was typical cruising athmosphere but a quite good dance show and Dj. A lot of tourists from all around world so we could chat with australian, italian, turkish people...and with one gye from minnesota. Quite much young people which was nice. We drink a lot mojito's <em>whitout</em> rum -and most of the people roll their eyes for uss. The problem was their -not uss! We can have fun without any extra psychoactive substance -perhaps we have been (with my sister) under the influence whole life after the birth -but because of that we can have fun all the time and much cheaper and healthier than others ;)GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-47784017382017549852007-06-11T05:30:00.000-07:002007-06-13T00:11:18.816-07:00Third Summer Journey - Saarenmaa/EstoniaIt was. We had funny in there -everyone I guess- but it's still ok to be home and work again. Three days with colleges and boss...three days we drink alkohol and get for the world better place (it's always same when there is more than one engineer in a same plase at the same time - we have to talk and debate without any breaks)<br /><br />We went by fastferry Nordic Jet Line to Tallin and most of the grup start to drink already there... from Tallin we drive by bus to Saarenmaa via one shorter ferrytrip between Virtsu and Kuivastu...the trip from Tallin to Kuresaari take 5hour. It was quite heavy 'couse warm weather and drinking people (so, I had to open my first bottle in the small ferry too..)<br /><br />Had a dinner and time to gether the first night - Second day we had tour around the island. We visit into <a href="http://www.saaremaa.ee/eng/tourism/default.htm">Kaali meteorite craters</a> (I had been there before but I really enjoy the place - it makes me into the feeling I'm in fantasy world) and in <a href="http://www.saaremaa.ee/eng/tourism/default.htm">Episcopaal castle </a>of Kuresaare (I'd also seen before but I'm also always like to spend times on an old castles). We eat a preatty good lunch in a restaurant of <a href="http://www.gospa.ee/">Georg Ots Spa </a>and had also the most official part of trip after lunch; department conference in a conferes room. After the whole afternoon and evening was again free -just to be together. I bought clothes and stuffs - too much for my budjet.<br /><br />The third day was again mostly travelling -bu bus, by little ferry, by bus, by fast ferry- so quite tiring. We had a little more than hour time to spend in Tallin after we visit to view <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Soldier_of_Tallinn">bronze soldier of tallin</a> in his new location on the cemetery. I made shoppings again in Tallinna (new strets jeans)GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-52185305457977444302007-06-06T22:18:00.000-07:002007-06-06T22:20:34.158-07:00Grindhouse - Death ProofHalleluja! -again and again...the master of movies; Quentin Tarantino!

The journey comes a quite ex tempore -we get information of that just a few days before. I was with my sister and two our girl friend (also siblings) and the point was accompanied sylman's siblings to stocholm station from where they start their inter-rail... They had won a 4person cabin into the ship so we get free cruise with my sis (actually it wasn't free at all 'cause food and clothes and make up's etc. cost quite much...well, who ask to shop so much?!)<br />I have never really like the athmosphere of these cruising ship...there is always so odd and miscellaneous people and most of them have function to be drunk -what a noble mening of live- but we had very nice time together on a going trip when there was four of us -we dance a lot- but when we came back with my sis we were quite tired after whole day walking and shopping etc... so we just watch one show and had a late dinner in a buffet restaurant. We were back in cabin before midnight. But it was nice to have time to talk together, long and peacefully.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-28884619191012597592007-05-28T05:59:00.000-07:002007-05-28T06:31:14.334-07:00First Journey at this summer - Turku/FinlandI spend three days in Turku -the old capital city of Finland- beutiful and nice university city in southwest corner of finland. Archipelago landscape, modern city life and old architecture with many of wood buildings -I makes my mind calm. I like the trip even it was connecting work and I was definately one of the youngest of uss...mid age was about 30 year more than I have...and also the most common sex was another than my. It's always the same in my business. But could dance a lot! There was just a few dancing lady and several and several men who want take to dance uss...<br />We spend night in <a href="http://www.turku.fi/Public/default.aspx?contentid=19808&nodeid=8135">Forum marinum</a> and before that we had few hour time to explore eachother and our beutiful get-to-gether ship Suomen Joutsen. We also visited in area of famous jailhouse <em>Kakolanmäki </em>in Turku (only by bus, didn't see any prisoner) and Conferes centre <a href="http://www.alvarium.fi/">Alvarium</a> which is designed by Alvar Aalto. After the Suomen joutsen the second impressive target for me was <a href="http://www.turunvpk.fi/fin/index.html">Turun VPK-talo </a>(the old fire brigade house) where we had jubilee dinner on friday night.GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-84581397566565622132007-05-18T04:06:00.000-07:002007-05-18T04:22:43.431-07:00Problem is; Men<div align="justify">I'm afraid it's impossible for me ever understard what happends in men brains. Ok, yaeh, true, it's impossible to understand what happends in <em>anyones</em> brains, even our own -but anyway I'm always so out when I try to communicate with another gender. Perhaps the problem isn't those men but my capability to interpret them. However it's problem when I try to live in relationship. And maybe thats why I'm still single. Can I understand anyone else before I know myself better? And how long I have to wait for that learning and knowing myself? Why I can communicate so well with many nice, fun and intelligent men who I'm not interest sexually? Is that impossible to get in same package -sexuality and communication skills?</div>GelatoGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14829246442482342001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073012148588055733.post-24495959645816186442007-05-16T03:13:00.000-07:002007-05-18T04:26:56.432-07:00Sziget -festival, soon those are!<div align="justify">I'm exciting....'couse of <a href="http://www.sziget.hu/festival_english/programs">Sziget</a> and more 'couse I get friend with me so I don't have to sleep with anyone stranger.
