Hello everyone!
Long time no see and a lot of things has happened! We have had a great time with Huhn and we have become friends.


One stormy night at my current home Riihimäki.

We also went to the sightseeing in Riihimäki. This is a very small town so there aren't many big or important places but here is something:


The statue of a glassblower.  As I read before I came here Riihimäki is famous of glass. The second of two last glassworks was in here. The last one was in Karhula and it was shut down a few years ago. So now there isn't any glassworks in Finland anymore. That's sad.. And actually my host mom's dad was one of the last workers in the glassworks of Karhula! So my host mom knows a lot about that.


There is also a garrison in Riihimäki and it shows also in the street view.




Here also the trees has scarves!


Jaiks! We are high!! Don't worry mom I'm careful (notice the newspaper in the tree..)


The train statio from a little differen perspective..





And then the place that my host moms call "the duck pond" but now it's frozen so we didn't see any ducks 8(







Two weeks ago we got some company: three new mice! They were cute.



The whole pack of eight mice are getting to know each other.


(those two white ones with brown noses are a mother and a daughter!)

We also made a trip to visit my host mom's dad in Hamina and mom in Kotka:
