Life in Jyvaskyla .

I stopped writing for a while. It's not because my life wasn't interesting enough. I didn't feel like sharing my life experiences, mainly because I spent the last two months organizing this life I'm living right now. My Erasmus life.

I left Italy last Monday, January the 4th. I was already packing through Christmas holiday and that is also why I haven't done posts regarding presents and other christmas related stuff. After December the 25th time passed by and few days after New Year's Eve I already was on a plane.
From Rome to Helsinky, 8 hours waiting, from Helsinky to Jyvaskyla. I arrived at my apartment at 2 a.m. and I was completely shocked by the weather. It was -26 (Celsius degree). The days after it also dropped to -33. Even my eyelashes became white, covered in ice. It was a real trauma, I even asked myself ''Why the hell did I choose to come here instead of Spain?".

However, I managed to survive and I'm still alive ! After this life-threatening experience I decided to start writing again, in order to let everybody know that I'm fine and Alive.
Just kidding ;) I boughed myself a good pair of woolen socks (for way too many euros, but that's another story).
Truth is that I found myself having a lot of spare time. My life is actually bounded by bus's time tables and the few hours of light they have here in Finland. Yes, I wrote light because sun is pretty rare to experience. I'm still trying to synchronize my biological clock with the local one. I need to admit that I appreciate their over-spiced food. They use ginger and cinnamon on everything 

I met many new people, surprisingly a lot of Italians. All students here in Erasmus with who I daily share many adventures, difficulties, experiences and discoveries. I'll slowly try to talk with each one of them, but after a week I obviously know my neighbors an flatmates only.

I already noticed that in my luggage I managed to take with me my clumsiness and  bad luck.
- I locked myself out of my own room on the 2nd day. The doors in the different apartments lock themself automatically both from the inside and the outside. I took my shower and discovered that the wind closed my bedroom. The maintenance guy came over after 2 hours I phoned him, opened the door and asked for 35 euro. 35 ! -.-
- I broke my iPhone's screen. I was just sitting on a chair, scarf on my knees and phone over the scarf. I moved a little bit forward and the scarf fell. The phone fell. It happened many other times but last Friday...the screen was composed of black and blue bars. I still don't know if it's all about the chrystals inside or if there's any damage on the internal mechanisms. I'm hoping for the best, which is the screen replacemente only. I don't want to buy a new phone, mostly because I know that mine was perfectly working !

I hope you enjoyed this update, hopefully more will come :) 
Have a nice week !

I'm back from Budapest and Prague .

HeyHey
How are you all ? I'm so tired because of the flight-bus trip back home we did yesterday evening, and Saturday (so today) was not enough to recover because we walked so much during the past week, we had to wake up around 7 so yeah, I needed to sleep as much as i could ! But i can definitely say that the ice cream I had with my friends this afternoon fully recharged me !
This is a short summary of my last school trip that, I need to say in advance, I enjoyed a lot ! Next year I'll miss all my school mates for sure.

We left on Monday morning and, with the bus, we arrived in Pisa where we took an airplane for Budapest and we arrived at the Tulip Inn Millenium (that was not a nice hotel, in my opinion), where we slept for two nights. We went in the center for an hour or something in the evening, but the proper visit of the city was done the day after. On Tuesday evening i had a really big beer that was sooo good!


On Wednesday morning we left and, after 7 hours of bus, we finally arrived in Prague. The hotel was definitely better, check it out here, and also the food was really nice: we had all the dinners in a close restaurant that is associated with the hotel, some of us didn't think it was decent but I personally found it good, in terms of food taste. We visited Prague the days after. I had already been there 5 years ago, or something like that, with my family but I didn't remember half of the things I saw and visited this week, also Prague is one of those city you can't get tired off. As we did, many other Italian schools were there in their school trip and it was fun to meet new people, especially because we were a group of 22 girls and one guy, so let's admit that we had many guys groups around us ahah . On Saturday afternoon we left again with the bus and we had our flight back home. We arrived in Rome and than we took the bus to reach my city.

I had so much fun. Travelling, as I said many times, it's the best thing in the world. I loved every single moments there and I'm sad I'm back home, not because I don't like my life here but I'm constantly looking for a life-change experience abroad !
I bought many things during the trip plus all the orders I did on the internet arrived, so I can definitely say that my next blog posts will be hauls. 

Hope you enjoyed reading about my travel. Comment below telling me about your school trips or your impressions about those two city (If you've been there) and stay tune on Flickr because I'll upload soon some pictures  :)

Goodbye winter .

HeyHey

I got news ! Tomorrow, so on Monday morning, I will leave for my last school trip..yeeaah! 
As some of you may know, travelling is my biggest passion, with languages and photography. 
I literally couldn't wait to leave, these past two weeks were extremely tough because of thousands of testes and other situations that stressed me out. 
We are going to visit and stay for two days in Budapest and for the rest of the week we'll go in Prague. I've already been in Prague with my family, I guess it was 4 years ago, but I'm super excited to go there and visit all over again every spot of the city, because I really enjoyed it the last time I went. And let's face it: travels and holidays with parents are nice, but with friends and classmates they are even better.
I actually don't have here with me the paper with the excursion program, but when i'll be back i'll write everything about my school trip abroad. 
Since the fact I don't have anything else to say about this in this blog post, I want to properly say goodbye to the cold season, posting a couple of pictures I did on those two days when we had snow here.

(Canon 1000D - basic lens 18-55mm)
 I did this from my bedroom, it was an amazing view! Of course I spent the whole afternoon in the garden taking thousands of pictures, but here i'm going to post just this one, because for me it's so...cozy! My blog already has a ''spring theme'' because this is my favorite season. I don't like shorts and bikinis, and that's why i always had a bad relation with the summer time, and, on the other side, I don't like winter that much, although, I have to admit, I'll miss hot chocolate and tea, my big hot duvet and snow.

I'm glad to see that there are more of you reading what i write, i hope i'll have a proper feedback in the comment below as well ! Have a nice week !
