On my way to Finland

Bye bye Netherlands, hello Finland! It is always fantastic to fly over all that forest land, with trees everywhere, where the only opening in the green are the many lakes. What a differance with the Netherlands were everything is way to organised and all trees are lined up. BRRRRRRrr it is just as artificial as it can be. With cars, people, houses and roads everywhere you look, what a difference! Secretely i am looking at the map hmm if i would just pas Russia i am almost in Beijing again...and from Helsinki there is even a direct flight! My only-allowed-to-use-in-moments-of-utter disspair-creditcard seems to almost wants to free itself from my wallet. If only, but no that is really not possible (well anything is possible..), no money,no visum so it would be practically a big no no.but how cool would it be to pop up in the TianTan Park totally unannonced just as a big suprise a few years ago that would be just the thing i would do but i guess even i slowly get older about the wiser part i am not sure.

I am waiting at some indoor terras place, it was the only place open to have a drink or some very overpriced food. a small group of what seems to be Finnish businessman are talking loudly, it is clear that they are keeping their countrie"s reputation up and have enjoyed some alcohol to shed of the innitial shyness. I know that shyness too and also the temptation to chase it away with some wine so who am i to say anything. On the left there is an older man with a glas of beer in front of him, he rests his head on his hand and is staring not to happily and bored also in my direction now, oke i am not looking anymore!i have to admit that it is kinda intresting to observe people. My laptop is to obvious and not girly so it is hard to go unnoticed, ofcourse they dont know what i am writing.My mother is already in Turku, it was funny to travel on the sam eday on a different airline. I must say i much prefere Finnair, the food they serve is much better then what the KlM presents to you, they seem to have some sort of deal with Johma salads and apart from that serve sticky, burning hot wraps.The Finnair meal was slimmed down too but at least it has some delicious chocolate with it and some proper finnish ryebread (i am easy to please). The hot meal had clearly been inspired by the Italian cuisine and consisted out of pasta and an undefinable brown sauce that tasted very Finnish. It was nice.I think the slightly intoxicated group of Finnish men are from Turku to because they are discussing a Galaxy, a disco and tango club that is in the centre of town. i have been there a few times to get in touch with my Finnish heritage but with little succes. My lack of rythm and absence of proper dance moves spoiled it all. i can only dance on my own when there are no toes in reach of my feet. Apart from that i seem to attrack all the well how to say it nicely the not so charming men. Who first ask if you are from Russia and then resort to telling you that they have a 3 floor house...and then they get upset if you do not want to pose with a picture with them tja.........Time to go to the gate Byebye!
