Look what a wonderful rainbow,
it's quiet difficult to take a picture from it.
In real it looks even much more pretty.

Mom, I´m in Finland!!!

I traveled safely and arrived today to my host in Finland  :D

I got flowers as welcome present (I tasted only little...), looked curiously around me in my residence and came to the computer to send you this message!

I will tell you later EVERYTHING I will experience here in Finland!

Love,

Good morning = Hyvää huomenta!

In the morning I opened my eyes, I opened the curtains and saw a different flag... Where am I? I`m in Finland, yeah!  :D

I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. There I met a COW = LEHMÄ. She was a strange cow... Her head opens and she mekes a "MOOO!" while opening. And guess what? Inside the cow my host has her collection of PEZ dispenser  ;) She told me that the cow is a present from a friend. If my host wants to have a candy everybody in the house can hear she is having a candy  ;)

Today we also went to a flee market, my host loves flee markets!!! I tried the wheel of fortune and found something that I like. A friend of my host makes hand puppets and I posed with them! This time we were selling instead of buying. My host was smiling when we returned... :D

Road trip

I have over hundred photos from today, my host got a little carried away  :cyclops: I will upload them little by little...

We made a trip to countryside where the grandparents live.
Our first stop was on a lovely country road. Next to the road runs a small river and over the road is a beautiful bridge.

The birds were singing everywhere, I could hear them clearly. But where were they? I was looking for them but could not see.

Continues...

At grandparents

There is a tiny road leading to the grandparents´house and a rooster on top of a storehouse.

Inside the storehouses I have found for example fishing nets and old bicycles. Somehow I´m not surprised at all!

In the house I met some toys that have belonged to my host when she was a kid. Very friendly toys!!! We posed in front of the pictures of my host´s ancestors. They look so serious. I think the photographer forgot to say: "SMILE!"  :D

I was very interested to see everything in the surroundings. Here are some photos from the farmyard: ants and birds are living here as next door neighbors.

Grandparents live by the lake. We walked to the shore and checked the boat. Pictures of the lake you have already seen  ;)

Dance!

Today I went to see ballet and all kind of other dances (street dance, voguing,  African, modern dance...) in the City Theater. Pictures were not allowed to be taken. But believe me: I enjoyed!

At home my host's daughter danced some more and we took some pictures. She was also dancing ballet on the stage!!!

Do you think I could get my own ballet slippers?

Working day

Today I cycled to work with my host. As you can see in the photos, I was working hard! Can you imagine: this is what my host does every day and even gets payed from it. Mom, I would like to have a job like this!!!

We were painting the flowers for concert decoration. Together with the kids I was playing in the sand and I also helped them to paint their portraits. I really enjoyed my working day!!!

One day at home...

Today was a free day from work because of Ascension Day. My host was doing some voluntary work and I stayed at home. I wanted to watch a film and I'm telling you: there was a large collection to select from! I found my favorite easily: Home on the Range. A cow movie  ;)

I found some colorful yarn in a basket and wanted to knit...
What do you think:
am I pretty in pink?

Good morning and wonderful evening

It was the most wonderful morning! First I got flowers and had a nice cup of coffee. Then I started cycling towards work. I was not in a hurry, so I stopped to take sun and watch flowers.

My host really has a strange job... She can have fun all the time! Today we went to an excursion by the lake. There was a playground and a fireplace and lots of birds singing. And one snake...

It was wonderful to cycle home in the evening sun. The sun is really setting so late here, after 22.00.

Luxembourg: No Participation at Eurovision 2012

"The Luxembourgian broadcaster RTL has decided that the Duchy will not send an entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Azerbaijan. Luxembourg was one of the founding members of the Eurovision Song Contest but has not participated since 1993. The Duchy won on 5 occasions (1961,1965, 1972,1973 and 1983)." http://eurovisiontimes.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/luxembourg-no-participation-at-eurovision-2012/

But I like the Eurovision Song Contest!!! Today I watched the 2nd semi final and I think Sweden will win!!!

Another working day   B)

Today we were helping in a picnic concert. Can you see a flower I helped to paint? During the concert I was so busy that I have no photos of it. But I enjoyed listening!

In the evening I watched Black Swan. Great dancing but the story is very dark  :(

Spa

Today my host took me to a spa. On the way there (we were cycling of course) I saw a skiing center, the ski jump hill and a slope. Summertime it is used by downhill drivers.

In the spa we were almost alone and it was great! I enjoyed everything but I was not sure if I'm allowed to swim... I stayed by the pools when the others swam. Just in case  ;)

While cycling home we saw a rabbit  :D It was just looking at us for a while and then slowly jumped away. Very cute!

Last night Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest. I knew it!!!  :p

Last night the apple trees started to blossom in our yard!  :p

Today I spent 3 hours at the flee market with my host. She bought some clothes, shoes, movies and LOTS OF postcards  :p And I met KILLI, a dino turtle  ;)

After that we went bowling. The bowling ball was very heavy but I got it rolling after all.  :rolleyes: My host was a little bit better in bowling than me but I still had a good time!

Library and exhibition

After work we decided to cycle to the library. I saw millions of books  :cyclops: and found my favorite Mamma Moo books, too. Mamma Moo is like me: she reads, swings, slides and... Well, Mamma Moo got an adhesive plaster but I took a pill because I'm afraid I might be LACTOSE INTOLERANT  :)

In the library was also an interesting exhibition. And think about this: those people were my size  ;)

And there was a postcrossing meeting going on  :D It was so great to meet all the toys and people, too  :D

After all that excitement (I even met my frog- brother Telie!!!) we went to eat some salad and pizza. On the way home I saw some interesting bicycles...  :rolleyes:

Naissaari 1

Just a little outside of Jyväskylä there is a beautiful small island called Naissaari.

Naissaari has a fascinating cultural and historical entity on the Vaajakoski river's side, which combines nature, culture and attractions. On the island is located a high-quality  coffee shop, antique shop, antique store,  design shop, open-air theater, beach, an exhibition area and Old Woimala, power plant. On the island there is also the busiest lock of Keitele channel.

I saw "wild animals" and a snail, flowers and all kind of beauty... And mom, don't worry: I was careful  ;)

The story will go on...
