One year gained ~ hopefully many more will come

So I have had my birthday and my Korean friend bought me a cake even if I was trying to run away my birthday by going to Japan. I loved the Japan trip to Kyoto and I loved the weather and the calmness in there. I did not go to the most crowded areas and I found that riverside is one of the most beautiful places in Kyoto. I recommend you to just stroll down it. I liked the public transport there even if sometimes it was really hard to understand!


I went to Fushimi Inari shrine and I loved it! It was so beautiful and do not be scared of the map... The distances in the map are not correct and actually the route is much shorter and really nice. People are too lazy to go to the top so actually there you can take really good pictures! Kyoto is the place of grand deserts and here is a sweet potato apple parfait and I have never in my life eaten so good parfait to add it was worth the wait of 3 hours (I had reservation number) and it made me believe that sweet potato belongs to the desert!!!





I love this picture of us and the cake<3

Life starts a new~ beginnings

These past few days have been all hassle and so much has happened that I don't know where to start. I have been in a hotel and moved in to my dormitory room (which is really nice and my room mate is super awesome). I have met my student buddy (she is really kind and understanding) and get to know other exchange students but I have also got to know some Korean people as well. The air is really humid and warm and it has been hard to get used to it. I have found my favorite cafe here and book store. I should never have found that book store... Okay so firstly my room here is really nice and cozy and I have lot of room for my stuff. Bed is nice and I like the common room where you can meet people. Yesterday I met Korean girl who was practicing to English test so we talked a while and she taught me how to make cup ramen in Korean way. Here is my room before and after me unpacking. ^^ Oh my favorite cafe is surprise surprise a cat cafe named cafe Agamii which is also an art cafe. ...

Everything comes to an end ~ changing set of mind

Kuva
December has come and going back to Finland is closing in. I still have couple of presentations, essay and three finals. Have to study in those but in the end everything is coming to the end and my mind set is in that state that soon the semester is at end and I can relax. I have mixed feelings coming back to Finland. In the other hand I feel like I do not want to leave here. I like my life here the people, cafe culture and the fact that everyday you could do something different. But I cannot feel but that there is things that I miss about Finland for example making food, fresh air and friends and family. There is of course things that I do not miss and those are the reasons that I want to stay for example social dancing culture here is amazing and there is more men than women so you do not need to wait so long for your turn, also here men honor your own space and body, you are not touched inappropriately, this I have only faced in Finland. In other hand I am super scared to come b...

Blue blue blue ~Fall is coming

Kuva
A month has gone without me noticing the time passing. There is only three months left before I come back and I am torn between the fact that I have so many things I already will miss here and I am missing Finland. I miss preparing food and people there waiting for me. I have spend lot of money, but in the other hand I have been saving for this. I went to Gamcheon culture village here in Busan. Gamcheon was before one of the poorest areas but 2009 government started a project where the buildings were painted with bright colors and lot of modern art was installed. The first thing I noticed is that the village is high up and it was lot of fun to go with a bus when it climbed the mountain. I liked the art and details there were and also you could see parts of peoples daily lives there. I actually went on a day when there wasn't lot of people and got some good photos or so I think. ^^ Fall is definitely coming and here it almost automatically means winter because fall is really sh...
