Hello Mom!
I arrived Finland yesterday! It was very cold weather outside. I met Nonnariina and she was very pleasent that I arrived safely. She showed her house and yard to me and I had great fun, I jumped in leafs and I climed to tree also
Then we went to bicyle trip to shore. Weather is misty and water was really cold ( I didn´t tried to swim...)
Then I was able to visit Nonnariina´s italian lesson. I learned to say Ciao And Nonnariina teached me how to say hello and I love you in finnish: Hello= Hei and I love you = Minä rakastan sinua.
Nonnarrina has a problem with uploading photos but she will try tommorrow again.
I had a nice and exciting day and I will sleep well!
Love you
-Sweetie

Hi Mum!
This is my last day in Finland It´s little bit sad, but I´m excited about what I see next.
Today I, Nonnariina and Nonnariina´s friend went to bicyle tripp to Nais-saari shore, witch is about 3 kilometres from Nonnariinas home.
Then I visited centrum of Jyväskylä. I saw buildings of University of Jyväskylä. They were old and beautifull.
I have also relaxed, when Nonnariina cleaned up...
This night we are going to watch tv: dancing race Tanssii tähtien kanssa (in eglish it could be something like Dancing with stars). There is dancers who gets famous persons to partners and they have to teach famous persons to dance.
Toaday I also visited real Finnish sauna! And I have to say that I like beeing in sauna
But not so long time as Nonnariina like´s. I can tell, you it´s very hot in sauna....
So, this is last upload from Finland, next is from Africa!
Have a nice day!
With kisses
Sweetie

Pretoria, South Africa - 23rd November 2011
By: Katara
Hi mom!
I arrived in South Africa today! I am so excited! It is very hot here - about 30 degrees Celsius.
Katara told me that because Spring is almost over, the Jacaranda trees are no longer in bloom. We did however spot a tree that still had a few blossoms - so I decided to pose for a photo
I am looking forward to my stay in South Africa, and I hope that I'll meet new friends!
Lots of love,
Sweetie xxx

Hi mom!
Today Katara made some spicy Butternut soup for dinner. She added some ground Ginger, mild curry powder, dried mixed herbs and a splash of Tabasco sauce. After she plated the soup she crumbed some Feta cheese into the soup. We ate it together with some seeded bread. It was delicious!
Katara said that next time I can help her in the kitchen - I am looking forward to it!
I miss you Mom,
Love Sweetie xxx

Hi mom!
Today it rained so we didn't go to the casino to see the Christmas lights but Katara promised me that we will go another time.
In the evening I helped Katara in the kitchen. I helped her prepare the Butternut pumpkin - Katara was also feeling very creative so we made 'pin-wheel sosaties' (kebabs) with 'wors' (sausage) Me and Hase thought it was delicious!

Hi mom!
You will not believe what I ate for lunch today - SUSHI!
Katara ordered some from a Chinese take-away restaurant down the street. We had "Avo Maki", "California Rolls", and "Fashion Sandwiches". We put some wasabi on the sushi and dipped it in soy sauce. We ate it with chopsticks. There was also some pickled ginger - Katara said that you are supposed to eat it to cleanse your palette.
