Shopping shopping shopping... Love to shop! I went to Helspanki (my new name for Helsinki) on Saturday and it was great! There were real people and real traffic and shops, shops, shops!!!! I nearly couldn't contain myself! Kotka is basically a massive forest. It has a few K markets, a library, some schools and a few houses. The rest is trees, trees, trees, and forestry and wood factories. It'll be weird coming back to a city. I miss it anyways.
'tis my birthday today, and I decided not to tell anyone at my placement because I knew they would make a fuss (them loving me loads and all)... K-Dog bloody told one of the teachers. Two classes came into my classroom and sang Happy Birthday to me in Finnish first and then in English. It was well embarassing having all these little ten year olds singing to me but never mind.
Anyhoo, that's all I can think of posting right now...
