Our time here in Finland is coming to an end very soon and it is almost time to start packing our stuff and head back to Estonia, but before we will do that i thought it would be a nice idea to kind of write here about the things we did here in Finland.
I arrived here on a cold winter day all alone and yes i had been in Raisio area many times but not in the actual city of Turku. I had been there once before and then my mom took us there and back. So this time i was all alone. I had to figure out the bus schedules and the stops. However this was not the first thing i had to figure out, before i even made it to Raiso i was driving all alone in the big city of Helsinki but luckily i had a navigation and that went smoother than my very first bus ride to Turku.
I always thought that
Well i was wrong about both. I got on a bus and i was sooo nervous. 20 min passes and i see a church big enough for it to be the Main Turku Church. Soo i go to the bus driver and ask when is Toomikirku stop and of course she does not understand me at all. She makes this annoying face and what, apparently it was the only word she knew, and then she just opened the bus doors and made it clear that i should leave. Ughh it was 8 o'clock on a morning and well we all know how dark the mornings are here in north. Anyway after i was getting myself together again i found myself being lost and no idea where to go???
The first person i approach of did not speak English and there i was all alone in the middle of the market square trying to find the god damn way to the school. Now thinking back it is pretty funny since the school is soo close to the city center but at that time i didn't know that.... After i had this minipanicthing going i got myself together and asked one lady to show me the directions and luckily i found the way.... Hahhaha but that was not all i could not find the building saw i just kind of assumed that some students are going there as well and finally we all made it happily there.
After my three lonely days Marc came to Finland and had an adventure of his own. He did not have a local phone number and i could not get ahold of him however after lots of worrying and loosing some nerves, he did made it here and i went to pick him up. There we were meeting each other after 6 long months... and now boom living together for the very first time....

- of course everybody speaks English
- all the busses usually say the stop name anyway.
