OMG Finland was LIKE so über AWESOME!!!
God my memory is teriible since i didn't have much sleep....
Saturday, i think we went to the 'Japan Pop' exhibition that was in the cinema building. It had 10 contempery japanese artists and a section u-kiyo or whatever it's called, the woodblock prints and then onto Manga and all the different times and a little history and a whole room full of manga hanging from the ceiling on strings and another full of origional prints, the documentary on the making of Sprited away and a room made like a Japanese train with lots of manga in it, it was so cool. I bought a book about it. We also went to Kiasma their version of Tate Modern, and that was quite intersting and not as big as i thought it was but still interesting.
Sunday, we went to the Cinema and saw Walice and Gromit! It was really good with lots of British humour. So funny.
Monday, met Tea's friend Nora, she was really nice. We went around Helsinki again and went in lots of music shops and went to a really cool Library which had lots of different times of people in, quite alot of different alternative people.
Tuesday, Went on the Finnish Metro! It only has one line XD becasue Helsinki is so small. Went to a big shopping Centre. Came back to Central Helsinki and bought lots of stuff like Tsubasa manga, more cute stuff from Blippo and presents for friend's birthdays. Also met Tea's friend Marika, who was funny and cool and kinda hyper. Got to play on Tea's GameCube. We stayed up all night and had lots of fun. There was a snow storm! So when we got a taxi at like 5 in the morning to the airport it was snowing and snowy everywhere! So i got to see snow in the end! It snowed just for me ;D
Staying with Tea in Helsinki in their huuge apartment was so much fun! We talked SO much! Watched the Hellsing anime, Robots movie, played Tekken 4 (Addicted, i'm going to buy 5 now) Super Smash Bros. Meele, had fun with webcam, went all around Central Helsinki, and laughted sooo much. I bought a グルーミー (Gloomy) keychain thing and mobile accessorie and one of those spots of coal thingys from Spirited away mobile acessorie. I can count to ten in finish now! (Well 9 really) And some simple stuff that i pretty much already knew... Everyone in Finland has SUCH Blonde hair, my hair isn't even Blondeish to them. Everything is also in Swedish and most things are in English too. It was a great stay! I miss you Tea! (Said Tey-a, for those of you who don't know)
BTW Does anyone want to come to London Dungeon on sunday? I have half prices tickets, that run out 31st.
holiday,
