:D

:D


then we ate ice cream thing (its not exactly ice cream, its sort of like just ices with souse) i chose blue souse which taste like soda and my friends chose strawberry one so our tongues turned to blue, and red! haha



then we went to photo shops machines which is really popular in japan. :))
few years ago, we could just take pics there and make stickers but nowadays the machine made our eyes look bigger and skin better! i havent took photo with this machine about 1 year, and the machine had developed again!



its now really creepy though its funny :D hahahhah




hahahha

okay.
this is real us.




which one you prefer? :)
although it sometimes make us creepy, i think this photo shop thing is one of the thing what foreigners definitely should do if they visit japan :))




had a great night :)) ♫

omg.
the trip finland to tokyo was killing me.
frist i needed to go to helsinki from my town by train which was like 6-7 hors? D:
then flight to germany 3 hours
germany to tokyo 11 hours.

long and uncomfortable trip, the bad point of buying the cheap flight tickets. :((


saying good-bye to the people who i love was just one of the hardest thing.
i just still dont get the fact that i actually left Finland.
i guess will need more time to understand this whole things.


well, ill try to just chill and take them easy . :)

koivu

in finnish koivu, in english White birch, in japanse 白樺

those trees are my most favorite trees nowadays. :)
its really a symbol tree of finland i would say.

before the winter, in autumn,
koivu turned yellow, which were really beautiful.
and after long long winter
koivu began to bud at once.
after seeing naked trees like 5 months, koivu's lovely right green leaves seem so sparkle.
at first, the leaves were really tiny, and so soft. once i ate them because my best friend told me that her grandmother said to her that its really healthy. and we tasted just because we are so curios. well,,, the taste was quiet ok... :P
but now, end of June, the leaves started to be dark green and really big.


with koivu (white birch), through this year, i could feel passing of the seasons. :)

this is my most favorite marimekko design.





because this design is really describing the first days of summer, looking of white birch. :)




i bought koivu print mug cups from marimekko for the gift for my japanse family. :)
every time when i look at them, i probably always remind of the wonderful natures of finland.

rainy days.

2 weeks ago, in finland, there were awesomeness summer weathers everyday.
i went to beach with my friends everyday and enjoyed the sun and blue sky.
but this 10days has been rainy days.
well, then i just need to have fun in inside.
chilling. <3 :) listening music, talking with my friends, etc... but these days, its been so hard for me. because i really need to start to be ready to go home. and, i actually sort of excited to see all people from japan, and eat healthy japanese foods, but on the other hand, its really hard to say good bye to the people who i love, here in finland, and also i dont want to even think about it. mmmm.... well ill try to keep my head up. :) Last weekend, my host family took me to the moomin land which is located in south Finland, near to turku. i had a lot of fun there :)

LOVE MOOMINS <3 !

small adventure

I LOVE FINNISH SUMMER! ♡
i love tokyo, but i dont really like summer in tokyo... humid and way too hot.
so i love this warm summer in finland with coolness wind.

but actually today was pretty hot in finland too, almost 30℃?
so my best friends said "lets go to swimming! :) "

i had no ideas where we are gonna swim,haha
but it became one of my sweet memory of finnish summer vacation, and it was so adventure for me! hihi




first we biked a little bit into the forest which is just behind of my best friend's house.





after little biking there was a railway which reminds me of "spirited away". :)




3 minutes walking in the forest...
and there was

cutest littele pond! :D




chilling in the water.



i love the way, how my finnish friends hang out normally, its always so chill.
this is one of the thing i would miss about finland, chilling with friends in awesomeness natures, little biking and go to the forest, listening music, talking, and chilling. ♡

especially in this wether, chilling in outside is so wonderful thing to do.

tomorrow im gonna go to beach again! hope this gorgeous wether would last forever... :)



elitys kiitos aino ja saimille! :) ♡




フィンランドの夏は東京の夏と違って、暑いけどいつも心地よい風が吹いてて大好き!
だけど今日は30℃近くあった!だから友達の提案で泳ぎにいく事に、
どこに行くのかも知らなかったけど今日の出来事もまたひとつ大切な夏の思い出の一つになった、
親友の家のすぐ裏の森を少しあるくとそこには可愛すぎる小さな池があった!

chilling in the water,

フィンランド人の友達の普段の遊び方が大好き!いつもとても落ち着いてリラックスできる、
これも多分私がフィンランドを恋しく思うだろうものの一つ、自然と友達とリラックス、
自転車で少し、森にいって話したり、音楽聞いたり・・・


明日もビーチに行く!
この素敵な天気がずっと続くといいな・・・:)♡
