I wanna live in Finland. I wanna marry a Finnish guy. OK I'm not saying that my dream is to live in Finland and never see other countries (you know me... Europe I love you!! Switzerland, Austria, France.. love love love), but it's my home now. I'm not kidding.. Prague is my "real" home of course, and I do love it. I mean HELLO I'm Czech & proud to be. And being in Scotland makes me appreciate the Czech culture even more somehow. But Finland is MY place and yeah.. I know, incoherent blabber. I was trying to make a point! Anyway, rakastan Suomea! If people find all my Finland posts exactly the same then... too bad. xD This is my journal!! Haha jk but really... whenever I'm on Aleksanterinkatu and I look around, I just feel so relaxed. I see all those people with their individual style and people who eat ice-cream even when it's -10 degrees and girls with Longchamp bags... guys who aren't afraid to dress feminine... I can go for sushi and see the Silja Line out of the window... I can go see amazing bands like every week for 10 euros. The mood there is so different, so "fresh" if that makes sense. And yeah even Mr. Ellum (saw him when I went back to ISH this spring) said there's no place like Finland. So true.. I mean, Finland's the place where you can leave your Lacoste shoes in a gym for the whole day and they'll be in the same spot where you left them in the evening.
OK I didn't know this would turn out to be an essay, especially since I have to finish a REAL essay. Anyway, here's a video of Ari Koivunen, the guy who won the Finnish Idols. The final was on when I was in Finland this spring and I think he's amazing.. American Idol should have people like HIM!! There's loads more on youtube, just search for his name.
