33 Days left in Germany

Hey guys :)

Like the headline states, 33 days left of my exchange year, 33 days left in my beautiful host country, 33 days until I see my family and friends in Finland again. 27 days and I have to say goodbye to all my friends here, 29 days and I have to say goodbye to my host family, 29 days and I'm gonna have yet an awesome week with about 500 exchange students. 33 days and I have to speak in Finnish again, 33 days and I don't know when I'm gonna be able to eat the delicious German foods again. 

33 days and I'll be sitting on an airplane on my way home leaving another behind me.

Yeah... xD so what I've been doing. 

Eurovision Song Contest: I watched with Isabel and couple of friends of hers. I'm so happy that Sweden won. I really liked the show, it was kinda ingenious with only man on stage performing with the screen. And I liked the song as well :) 

DoKomi: ESC was on Saturday night and the next day we had to wake up with Isabel quite early 'cause we had a three hour travel ahead of us. Our destination was Düsseldorf and the annual anime, manga and Japan convention. It was so AWESOME! I was so excited about everything and I bought so much stuff :D ooops... But now I have two new Kingdom Hearts necklaces, an EXO bracelet and the newest album EXODUS and a G-Dragon poster <3 

Amsterdam: Last Thursday I was with my little host sister in Amsterdam :D We didn't have almost anything planned, only the idea that we'd visit Anne Franks house. Well... the waiting time to get in was like two hours so we decided to do something else. We then ended up visiting Madam Tussaud's :) Then we just walked through the town and yes Amsterdam is beautiful but I have to say, it isn't my kind of town. (and the traffic is crazy, everywhere cyclists :D) 

I met No-Face

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. 

Herbstferien, Spiekeroog, Geburtstag

Hallo!

The time is running so fast that I can't keep up with everything. But here I am, once again to write about some things and yeah, let's see. 

The Autumn break came and went, I had some time to relax and sleep long and catch up with things for what I didn't have time with school going on and so. But I did actually something too :D I was shopping in Bielefeld, we were with my host-family in Spiekeroog and I trained Kung fu.

I just love the ocean

There's this Icelandic horse stable in Spiekeroog and I wanted to ride with an Icelandic 'cause it has been quite a while since I last did, and I wanted to remember my baby pony back in Finland. We went with my host sisters and my host mom for a 4 hour ride, and most of it we rode along the seashore. It was quite amazing!

Hamingja ♥

Then I also turned, finally, 18 last week! :) I celebrated with my German friends on Saturday and then with my host-family on Sunday. Thank you everyone, it was really, really nice, even though I was a little homesick because, yeah, it was an important day for me and my family and closest friends weren't there. BUT I'm going to celebrate again when I'm back in Finland :D

Something from Finland

Vielen Dank Hannah und Philip

 Oh and I also suffered otitis and had to visit a doctor. But it wasn't such a big of deal, I ate some antibiotics for five days and some painkillers, too, and then it was gone.

p.s. I have a lot more pictures from Spiekeroog but Blogger doesn't want to co-operate with me and I'm loosing my temper.... but I still want to post this finally today, so here :D
