"Kyllä, nimeni on outo. Bowl. iing. bröök."
"Ei, emme nähneet Super Bowl... Ei, meillä ei ole TV..."
"Liian kylmä? Liian myöhää!"
Common phrases in my Finnish vocabulary, anyways.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today is officially my last day in Savonlinna! Come tomorrow morning, I will be going by train to Kouvola! I'm beyond excited, it sounds like such a fun city!
In all honesty, not a whole lot happened this week, except that it went by really stinkin' fast. We've taken pictures of some of the last sights I got to see in Savo, but tomorrow we leave, and here we come Kouvola!
A few comments from the coming times:
-Whenever I mention Kouvola to our members, they get this weird look on their face and describe interesting stories. Dunno what it means. Katsotaan!
-As Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought I might give a small commentary on the hilarity of that day here in Finland: Nothing says 'romantic' like being in a country where the native word for 'Valentine's Day' is actually 'Ystävänpäivä' which actually mean's 'Friend's Day.' Ain't it sweet?
Aaaanyway, that's our week for you! Next time, I'll be in Kouvola, you'll be seeing me soon!
Stay strong, warm, and happy,
Vanhin Bolignbroke
