HIMclub.com: this is finland calling... - HIMclub.com

Oeh, so here I am. Today morning I started to drive to Finland, accompanied by my dad, and around 1.30pm we arrived at my dad's tiny apartment. Right now it's 10.55pm, I'm "stealing" my dad's neighbor's WiFi connection and waiting for my dad to come back home.

First day in Helsinki is spent nicely, tomorrow is ahead and on Friday we'll start driving to Jyväskylä. That's actually a bit sad as Ankkarock is also this weekend and HIM is playing there and I'm not able to go but instead that I'm moving into my new flat in Jyväskylä. I guess I should be very excited about it and in a way I definitely am but today walking around in Helsinki made me feel so lost.

I have studied some Finnish at school and I have tried to refresh my memory during last days and for a moment it really felt like I'm sensing the language again but today when I was at shop and one guy asked me if I'm the last one on line then I just guessed that he's asking me that question and after that he talked something about where the line is and that some people make their own lines without looking and all I was able to do was nodding and smiling stupidly. I guess he thought I'm a complete idiot. Just nodding and smiling and not saying a word.

I know I could always use the help of English. I feel myself very comfortable speaking English but I don't feel like it's right. I know that if I want to learn the language I have to try to talk it. So my first weeks in Finland are definitely going to be hard.

I yet haven't decided what I'm going to do tomorrow. I guess I'll go for a walk in Helsinki as there's one place I'd like to see. Maybe I'll even manage to take some more photos than I did today. What a shame. But well, before Saturday I can't add anything here because I forgot the transfer wire home (yeah, sounds like an idiot, doesn't it?)

But now I think I'll watch a movie of Joe Strummer. I've wanted to watch this movie for a while but I've never found really time for it.
