Snow for the first time and soon Russia


On the morning of the 18th we woke up for the first time with everything white outside! It had snowed again for the first time, and like always it is amazing to see how everything can change from a moment to another...everything looks like a new world.

For 3 days now it has been snowing and everything is frozen. You can feel winter and christmas time is coming. And there is definatly not much time to go... in two weeks I will be in Ekaterinaburg, formerly Sverdlovsk in Russia, next to the Ural mountains. Ekaterinburg is located on the boarder between the European and Asian continent, so therefore, one of the farest aways countries..and closest to Asia that I have ever been before. It´ll be a business trip: promoting the Laurea University of Applied Sciences.

And here in Finland, what else have we done? I celebreted my Birthday party on the 12 th of November with my friends and my work mates. First dinner at my place and afterwards some drinks in the Liuntuvaara Common Room and after party in Molly Malones, a rock pub in the center of Helsinki which offers live music.

And thats all so far... I guess there will be more news after Russia! And afer visiting more things of Helsinki and Espoo, which is the decision we made with a friend in order to not get bored during winter time! So soon there will be planned visits to EMMA or the Wintergarden!

See you soon!
