Berlin and future plans

Heey ! :)

This is going to be a short post but it's still a post! So after the last time I wrote it hasn't been long and that's why I don't have soooo much to write :D But yeah, last Monday we'd free and we were at Heide Park, like I told. It was awesome! 

We started at half nine and drove two to three hours till we arrived in Heide Park. The park is huge and the roller coasters and such are really big too. We were really lucky with the weather (I got a little burned in the sun) and as it was Monday and not so many people have free on Mondays we could sometimes just ride the same ones three times straight, without getting off at all :D It was just a really cool way to spend a free day with friends :)

Then on Friday evening, after school, I traveled to Berlin with my host mom and my younger host sister :) We took the train and it was so cool we had the kind of a train like The Hogwarts Express and we had our own "cabin"! And I love to travel by train, so, it was awesome ^^ On Friday night my host sister and I went almost directly to bed, well first we ate pieces of cake and then... :D On Saturday we were shopping and just spending time in the city! I bought a new top, perfect for the upcoming Summer. :) The others were so tired they went to bed quite early and we decided to watch a film with my host sister, Hunger Games: Mockingjay part1. On Sunday we went to Gärten der Welt (Gardens of the World), a huge a garden with designed gardens representing typical gardens from different countries. It was really really pretty! And the weather was beautiful and this time of the year it was just perfect 'cause everything is blooming here right now ♥ Later we ate lunch by my "host uncle" and then we decided to visit the East Side Gallery and Brandenburger Tor. We still had some time to the leaving of our train so we walked a little through the Tiergarten, it's the park in front of Brandenburger Tor. Then we traveled back home.

Future plans! My time here is getting shorter and shorter, only 61 days with my host family and then 5 days in YFU seminar. My emotions are getting so messed up when I think about leaving but then at the same time returning. I'm like both, happy and sad. I'm kinda scared that my friends here will forget me and that my friends in Finland have already forgotten me or that we just don't get along anymore. I'm so excited to see our dogs and be able to ride our horse again and just hang out with all the animals. Them I have actually missed the most :D but it's okay, 'cause with my friends and family, I've been able to skype and write and stay in contact, but from the animals I have only seen pictures :( It's hard to leave your pets behind... 

Then something happier from the nearer future! 1st May we have free and it's a tradition to celebrate the International Workers' Day with a lot of beer, friends and food! I'm looking forward to it :D Next week's weekend I have my re-entry seminar and yeah, DoKomi is coming closer as well. I have pretty much to do before I leave. 

Herbst - Syksy - Autumn(Fall)

Hey!

Here some pictures from my October-November here in Germany.

My oldest host-sister got a kitty ^^

Busy days

Hallo,

I'm still here :D

Well it hasn't been more than two and a half weeks but feels much longer. I have finally time and inspiration to write again since we're having a day-off from school, YAY!

So, what I've been doing these weeks? A lot. I have finally decided that I'll continue with Kung fu, and have been training about two times a week. Sometimes I've had other plans on the day we have practices and sometimes there has been some other obstacles. Either way, I'm really enjoying my new hobby (even though it's really hard at times).

Most of the time I feel like this :D

Then I have had one really lazy weekend when I did seriously nothing. That was kinda nice to be honest :D It was like me back in Finland...hahah. But I have also had a weekend full of action (and eating, mostly cake). Actually, my whole last week was full. I was constantly going from one place to another. 

We were, with one friend of mine, in Melle and ate some french fries and cake. We also did some shopping and yeah, generally had fun and hopefully we're going to do it again. 

Last week, I was, for the first time here, at my friend's. We had a good time ^^ we talked and ate and sang and so on.

And I also tried on the traditional Oktoberfest dress, Drindl

On weekend, we visited my host-family's old riding teacher's riding school's open day or so. There we ate some cake and there was this little riding/horse show, and all kinds of things to see. That was on Saturday and on Sunday we had all of my host mother's family visiting and we ate brunch and played some games and so. :) Then we had to choose whether we would like to ride with carriage or go to a car museum, I rode the carriage. After everyone was back we ate CAKE ♥♥ 

The upcoming two weeks we have Herbstferien aka fall holidays! So far, I have plans with my friends; we are going to Hannover and shopping and some other things too. :) And with my host family, we'll go to this island, Spiekeroog, and spend there the second holiday week. We're going to ride Icelandic horses, and I'm really excited since I have one in Finland and I miss him pretty much.

I hope the next time I'll have more photos ^^ Tsüß!

20 DAYS LEFT

ASDFJDFJVNSLJNLAJNLVJ XD

Yeah, 20 days to go till my plane to Germany is supposed to leave. Time is running out on me and I still have so many things to do... I don't know what I should do before I leave, do you think there are some things I should absolutely do before I move to Germany? Tell me in the comments, please ^^

Last week I spent at our summer cottage with my dad and big brother and our two Spanish water dogs :) It was nice. We didn't do much, just some hanging out, eating good food and playing some games. We just spent time together, and those moments I can think of when I'm not able to see them the upcoming year. For the weekend we had my god-father and -mother and their two kids, and their two dogs, staying with us. And also my mom and big sister and our third dog too. It was kind of chaos but still it was fun!

We came home on Sunday to watch the FIFA World cup final. I didn't watch it at home though... As soon as we arrived I packed some new things and biked to my friends house and spent some time with her. I was happy that Germany won since it's my host-country and everything, and I don't like Messi hahaha.. xD 

I still haven't thought about the things I should take with me when I leave. We bought my suitcase couple weeks ago. It's cute ♥  The suitcase is so big I think I could pack my best friend to come with me. But yeah, I have a HUGE packing problem. I have to even pack my riding clothes and stuff and those will probably take the most room.

 

I think I'll recognize mine :D

Almost ready to go 

It would be nice to know if you have read my texts and if you have questions or anything, I'll be happy to answer! :) That's all for this time, gonna post at least once more from Finland.

and yeah CONGRATS team DEUTSCHLAND!!
