Recent travels
During the two unblogged months I’ve travelled some. I had my new laptop along so no boring moments in train or anywhere else. Thanks to my new coal backpack too, it rocks. Here goes a small summary of the travels.
New Year eve 2006 in Lappland
Six friends spent one week in a cottage in Lappland. Played games, skied, walked, chilled and talked shiat .. all the normal stuff. Actually we are people from one IRC-channel and the tradition has existed since 2004. This year was my second one.
There are more pictures and a written report but they are kept for private use only.
Skiing trip at grandmother’s
I visited my loved grandmother and grandfather for three days and two nights. They live within 200km from Oulu. I happened to visit them many times in every year when I was younger but at teenage I found their company too boring or rather the activities they can offer.
They are getting old, at the moment the older one is 73 years old. If I still want to spend time with them it’s time for it now. So I was there, skied 39km kilometers, watched olympics and movies (Leon, Häjyt, 21 grams) and ate well.
Tampere tour 2006
Tre-tour is getting a bit traditional too, had similar one year ago already and a light version two years ago. I have a few good friends living there (500km from Oulu) and also the city is interesting with hills and technical university. Tampere might be the place where I could move if somewhere in Finland.
Met Tuska, px and Ismo out of Elma people. Also slept two nights at one army friend’s home and met another army friend. I was there for one week and again it was quite normal activities that we did: beer, wine, board and card games, walk, Taco House buffet, Steak restaurant, Pizzeria and an indian lunch. We also cooked some sweet and sour chicken with vegetables and steak with Greek vegetables (olives, potatoes, onions etc).
Watched Terminator 3, Time Machine and Forrest Gump in train.
I wrote a little bit more detaled report for personal use and it’s in Finnish. I can share it if you’re interested in.
Thanks folks, I had great moments. Next travels will head to Vaasa and Helsinki, most likely.
