When u are a guest at people from India u never know what will happen. Something like this for example:
this is when it’s all applied
and this is when it’s done.
Now I’m happy and ready to come home. 22 hours left on this side of the big ocean.
Arkiv för nice things abroad
Euros came, Dollars went
I had this dream where the dollars value chantged so that everything became very expensive for me.. But good for me that was only a dream. Yesterday we talked with my family and it was so nice. My nephew Aron is so big already and he could say that Ida is coming with theairplane.. but he said ofcourse in his way..
After that we went again to Providence Place, to buy some stuff. And on the way a found a Tim Horton’s so I got my last Ice Capp!!! that was yummy.
Today I slept in again, because my sunburn is a little bit worse than I first thought and it gave me a hard time in the night. Then we went out to look at Darthmouth and the surroundings a little bit.. Shopping some kandy for home at Wal-Mart and afternoon (=cheap) movie. We saw Hancock, the new Will Smith one. It was good and entertaining. After that we took a look around in the Darthmouth mall and made some very nice founds.
I was going to show u some pictures of what I bought but then I realized that now.. It’s too much and a lot of my new stuff are already packed down.. First I also thought that I haven’t bought that much while being here but then I started counting.. And yeah 4 months is a long time to shop for things. Especially if u find them an sale and clearence. I can tell u so much that I bought 4 pairs of pants today for a total of $35 (22,80€). That was a good bargain. And now I can gladly dump some of my old ones..
What we will do on Sunday I don’t know yet.. We’ll see that tomorrow.
So that’s me right now. Soon back in Finland. What about you?
what a day!
u know those people that u see in every big city? they come atleast in twos and twos.. but often in even bigger groups. and if their group is extra careful they all ware matching shirts. They are all prepared with digital cameras, videocameras, backpacks, wallets/pass-portcases that u carry under ur shirt so that no pick-pocketers can rech ur money and credit card. They ware funny looking hats so that sun won’t get them and cheap rip-off sunglasses. if they’r really the original ones they even have shorts with a lot of pockets and runners with socks high up. and we can’t forget the waterbottle and the wet-wipes. yes. don’t we all love them? tourist.
I’ve never liked being a tourist. but now I’m actually starting to enjoy theese kinda things.. I can’t really yet admit that I would fit in that previous description, maybe in 30 years.. and if I do, someone please slap me. but yeah, now in Darthmouth my hosts here have neverhad the reason to take part of the ”tourist-side” of their state.. So now I’m the good reason and excuse for doing all that. So yesterday we went on a lovely trolley sightseeing tour in Boston. A lot of beautyful things to see there.. I could definetly go back there and be tourist a bit more. And today.. today we did the most amazing thing ever!!!! yep!!!! we went.. are u ready, this is gonna be so cool that u never even dreamt of this.. I had never imagined this could be possible for someone like me. so yes we went with our car and we drove for a while. and then we changed to a big big boat. and then we went out to the ocean for a long while and then we stopped because we saw whales. how cooool is that? I’ve seen live whales in water.. or atleast I’ve seen their tales and the water flying from them when they breathe. No, we did se one of them in its full length above the surfase.. the rest of them were kinda shy and playful. But that was cool. And the price to pay for that experience is a kinda bad sunburn. But it was totally worth it.
Then we realized that th indipendenceday celebrations are not on the actual 4th but 3rd, that is today.. oops.. quickly get changed and out we go again. listen to some music. look at alot a lot a lot of people and some of greatest fireworks ever. that is why I wanted to stay here in the U.S. for this long.. because of the fireworks. and it was so worth it. *love*
pictures might come later. I’ll see if I’m in mood yet.. probably not.
because we non-americans celebrated the 4th of July today we can be typical americans tomorrow on the actual day and go to a big mall and shop a little bit moore 
I’m not done with that yet!
Now I’ll go to bed so that I’ll be able to get up in time for our msn-date with my family tomorrow-morning. jejej. thats gonna be nice.
good night!
a different side of the U.S.
this feels so wierd. it’s almost like I’m living in a dream world..
I can’t believe that its only a week ago that I left the ghetto and started my vacation. At Metro they had theese T-shirts that said ”suburbs are for sissies” and I actualy considered buing one.. But now, living in the suburbs I’m glad I didn’t 
or then I would just not ware it here if I would have one.
Now I am in South Dartmouth, not Boston. I’ve been aware of the fact that I wasn’t going to Boston but I couldn’t remember the name of this place. Now I do and here I am. We are in the state of Massachusette (no idea how that is spelled, but I think no one really knows And today we went down to New Port in another state (wich I cant remeber but anyways). It was just so wonderful to drive around and look at the big beautyful mansions owned by rich people who come there only in the summerime.. and the ocean!! it was there and it was big and it was so beautyful. I hadn’t really realized how mcuh I miss the ocean until today when I could feel the breeze in my hair and smell the salt in the air.
How this week here in South Darthmouth is going to turn out, I don’t know. We’ll take one day as it comes and just enjoy!! And that feels good for me. No rushing no needs just being. And we have wireless!!!
And now that its Monday it’s one week until my flight home… That if something is wierd. I’m gonna be in Finland next week. I’m gonna be in Karis next week!! I can’t believe it. It’s so close, yet so far away.
So thats about for now.. to be continued..
new experiences
all of your comments really made me happy
now it’s Friday. I have two more days in Can with J. And now I’m starting to regret that I didn’t choose to stay longer. but hey, there is a reason for everything and I think Boston will be good.
My biggest consern right now is what to throw away from my suitcases so that I won’t have to pay for the ower-weight again.. because on my way here J took my otker suitcase.. she was allowed to have 2, but I’m only allowed to have 1, so I’m anyways going to have to pay for the second one (which is a very nice on ) and I don’t wanna pay for the couple of punds extra that I had on there.. hmm.. life is hard. but then on my way from Boston to home I’m just not gonna care.. there is some things that I still need to get.
I put some pictures up om Pixbox. so if you go to the page ”pictures” up there somewhere and klick on the link you’ll come to my pixbox-page. I added New York 5 and Canda albums.. I’ll propably add more pictures to the Canda one later.. but thats some pictures so far..
Oh yah, we went to baseball game yesterday. That was so cool. I’ve never been to any games (exept school-games) so being in a BIG stadium with ALOT if people and pro-players was so cool. and now I actually know something about baseball
what else.. yes, we were in Toronto to do that, so now been there to.. atleas somewhere there and it was nice. some hig buildings and water, also called lake Ontario.. but after 4 moths in the urban surroundings of NY it was so refreshing to feel the breeze from the lake on your face.. all though I miss the smell of salt in it that comes from the ocean.. but still, it was a big water and that was wonderful!
today we slept long. hehe. but it’s nice when we actually can stay up late and sleep late.. we can stay up late knowing that we don’t have to get up at 6 because class starts at 8. that is nice! today we are going to bake coocies and go to wallmart and play with our computers. i think.
joy
here some things that have given me joy.
Tim Horton’s Ice Capp (ice cappuccino). This drink is heavenly good and it beats regular coffee everyday! And it cheap. 1,60 Euros.
We found a ”pirate ship” and just had to do The Pirate Dance.
Ready for the Baseball-Game. with our tickets and Foam Fingers. This is just so cool, I’ve seen theese on TV my whole life, and now I have one of my own
I got to eat peanuts from the shell. jeeeeeeeeeeej!!!!
canada
just so you all know, I will try to write in English from now on, so that all my English-speaking friends can follow my life if they want to. And I think it will be a good practice for all you Finns out there
So now New York is behind and Fenwick, Ontario, Canada is the place to be. We slept a really nice and long night. But it does feel strange, very strange actually, not to be surrounded by alot of people all the time, and not having to do a lot of things all the time. On the past Wednesdays I would sit in the truck right niw feeling satifisfied about the Sidewalk day we had on my site and we sould be going to Revoulution. Or the ending of it. But now that is no more. Not for me at least.
It was so wierd waking up in a room that is not full of girls and going into a bathroom all by myself and taking a hot shower with good pressure in it. There is a lot of hours in a day and I don’t really know how to fill all of them right now.
Today we were sun tanning and I enjoyed reading Narnia. We saw the second movie on Monday-night so I wanted to read the book, to remind myself of all the details that did not come across in the movie. It’s so nice to be able to enjoy a book which is not something you have to red, but you get to read it.
This part of Canada is really nice and it reminds me of a area called Narpes at home. All though here was a little hill (or what ever its called). But its like countryside with house here and there and a lot of fields and forrest. Very cute and I feel how my soul is resting. Here I can see many of my Creators masterpiece’s and they give me joy. Like a sky full of shining stars above a field where the grass slowly moves in the worm night-breeze. And I saw fireflies yeasterday. Many of them. How cool aint that??? I’ve never seen them before and seeing them gave me alot of joy. 
Now it’s time to move on. Lets see what we choose to do tonight. Take care of yourselves and I hope you survive the language change.

verkligheten här
en liten notis om hurudan verkligheten här är.
Igår kväll satt ja inne i hårt hus o jobba me mitt o sen plötslit så hörst d bara pang pang pang utifrån. alla titta upp från sitt, nån konstaterar ”gunshots”. fyra, fem, sex. Alla återgår till sitt jobb. Ingen orkade bry sej desto mera i den stunden. Efter en stund fortsätter någon sju, åtta, nio, alla tittar upp igen från sina jobba och alla samtal har sluta vid det här laget. tio, elva. tystnad. alla återgår till sitt. ingen kommenterar.
det e ingen vits. d hjälper inget. jag sätter bara högre volym så att helikopterns surr inte ska störa mina tankar när ja försöker jobba.
det här är verklighet. och vi ignorerar inte den. vi bryr oss. men vi kan inget göra. inget konkret i sådan stund iaf. och d hjälper inte att bli rädd eller nått, för då blir man bara fångad av rädslan och den binder dej.
imorse hade ja redan glömt att jag behövde öronproppar pga helikopterns ljud för att kuna somna. det här var inte första skottlossningen i vårt kvarter, men det var den första som vi hört så tydligt.
vi mår bra, och vardagen fortsätter precis som om inget hänt. för tyvär nog så är det där vardag här.
manhattan
efter 10 veckor här konstant omringad av mänskor behöver man en par timmar o ensamhet ute bland mänskovimlet på manhattan. ja va ti en underbar butik o köpte lite mat som gör mej nostalgisk glad. hittade kunnon rågbröd ”European style, no wheat”, Anna pepparkakor, ryvita knäckebröd och FINSK panda lakrits!!!
sen va ja ti svenska kyrkan o njöt av lite lugn miljö, bröd med leverpastej och en riktig bulle.
sen såg ja marimekko kläder i H&M.
lejonkungen kommer vi att fara o se på senare i maj.
och sen kröntes min lediga dag med ett samtal med amelie. trevligt trevligt.
”större än USA”
på skojohoj sjunger vi en sång som heter ”större än eiffeltornet”. Den handlar kort sagt om att Gud är större än allt annat. och en fras i versen ”större än usa”. ja kom bara o tänka på den sången här en dag då ja än en gång konstaterade att allting är stort här. men som tur så e vår Gud större!!!!
men alltså påriktit.. den lilla drickan på mäkdånalds e som vår medium där hemma, o den stora e söta typ en liter… och alltså allt du vill ha e stort. en liten kaffe e lite mer en medium där hemma, så är man tar en stor, klarar man sej väldans bra.
och när ja sku köpa shampo o tandkräm, så fanns d bara såndä bauta-paket i mina närköp, så nu har ja mer än nog av allt.
bilarna är stora. men ja har sitt 1 mini
husen är höga.
mat finns det i massor, skräp likaså.
folk i mängder o trafiken är väldig.
meeeeen, vessapappersrullarna är alla ensilt packade! och så kan du köpa många i ett paket, men varje rulle har papper omkring sej.. hehe.
The survival Kit
Beeing a part of Unit9 me and Ryan got theese really cool survival Kits. All Unitleaders did their own things to make the new interns feel welcome, but ours is the best! Many got T-shirts or caps or just binder with the ‘imortant papers’ in them.. But we got all theese cool things:
Here we have a notebook (american paper size, really handy as I’ve not bought one of those yet) and a nice folder with important papers. An alarmclock (because it’s really important to be on time), a toy phone to remind us of 911, toilet-paper, a cuddly toy to hug when homesickness comes, cockroach poison (!!!), coffee-mug, deo, food-bowl, fork&knife, gum and taste freshner-mint-things, motion sicknes pills for all the travelling in the trucks, hand sanitazer, mouse traps (for the rats), pens, band-aids, ear-plugs and fake-teeth (just for the fun of it)
This was so cool, and I like the things really much. Many things are going to be really usefull theese upcoming weeks..
Och för att förklara varför vi fick en tallrik och bestick, så har vi ingen diskmaskin här i huset som vi bor i.. Därför använder vi engångskärl VARJE måltid.. okej, jag har aldrig varit någon yber-rädda-naturen-vi-måste-recycle-mänska men denna konsumtionsmängd har toppat min gräns.. dock förstår jag valet, för utan diskmaskin så borde vi ha en person som stod o diskade dagarna i ända.. och saken blir inte bättre av att djupa tallrikarna och muggarna är av styrox och tallrikarna o besticken är tjock plast… okej, vi gör så mycket att vi använder samma muggar en par dagar o byter sen.. men nu har jag egna ordentliga bestick att använda, och en skål till min morgon gröt
Pieni selitys sille, miksi me saimme lautasen ja aterimet. Meillä ei ole tiskikonetta täällä talossa jossa asumme. Sen takia käytämme kertakäyttöastioita JOKA aterialla… okei, myönnetään en ole koskaan ollut mikää tosi-pelastaakaa-luonto-ja-kierrättäkää-ihminen, mutta tämä kulutusmäärä on ylittänyt minut sitokykyni. Ymmärrän kyllä heidän valinnan sillä ilman tiskikonetta pitäis olla yks ihminen joka ei tekis mitään muuta ku tiskais.. ja asia ei muuten parane siitä että syvät lautaset ja mukin o styroxia ja lautaset ja aterimet kovaa muovia.. nåjaa, teemme sentään niin paljon että uusiokäytämme mukit paripäivää ja vaihdamme sitten. mutta nyt mulla on omat kunnon aterimet ja lautanen aamupuuroa varten
