Greetings from a net cafe at Charing Cross Road, London. I know, I wasn't supposed to come here, but the plans changed and... yeah. I've been walking around and trying to absorp the general atmosphere in here. I love London ( Read more... )

Work ended on Thursday and I got a bottle of wine and a fever as a going-away gift. Yay ( Read more... )

Okay, this will be the last Roskilde entry. You can sigh from relief. :P

( Roskilde: Sun )

Ruisrock on last weekend was cool. But I still have some Roskilde stuff to write about before I can get to that. :P

I've been feeling flu-ish for two days once again. It was only two weeks ago when I last felt like this, but it didn't get worse then and I'm hoping it doesn't now, either. I was going to go to taiji today, but I think it's best if I just go home and rest. I'm supposed to go to Turku tomorrow evening and Ruisrocking on Saturday and Sunday. I'd best ( Read more... )

I went to Jyväskylä last weekend with arkangeli and hiljainen to see an old friend J who studies there for now. Funny thing was, J and his girlfriend live in the same apartment buildings where I stayed with my friends during Finncon 2004! :) If it wasn't the exact same building, then it was very close because I remembered the school and playground that were near the ( Read more... )

(Entry about the first day of travelling, in case you missed it and want to read it.)

Friday, March 17th

In the morning we went to visit the Uffizi art gallery. They have many famous paintings in there, e.g. The Birth of Venus and La Primavera (Spring) by Botticelli. I'm not very much into art myself, but it was pretty cool to see those paintings ( Read more... )
