WARNING: Contains explicit language!De puta pena-. I want to thank Mallorca for playing a good game, but that f***ing Madrid and their luck this year was too much. My finnish friends know what I mean when I say: “Ne vitun Hannu Hanhet!” (In English: “Those Fucking Gladstone Ganders!”). We usually use that saying for the [...]

Today 17.6.2007 21:00 CET
Gimnàstic - Barcelona
Real Madrid - Mallorca
This is our last chance. If Madrid gets more points today, they’ll win la liga. We can’t let that happen…! So sing it with me.
Tot el camp
és un clam
som la gent blaugrana
tant se val d’on venim
si del sud o del nord
ara estem d’acord, estem d’acord

One exam done this morning. Still three to go. The weather in Barcelona doesn’t really inspire to study. The constant sunshine and 30°C is very bad for education. Wednesday I have another exam and then it’s time to relax for a while. Thursday morning I’ll be flying to Bilbao. Friday we’ve been talking about Girona, [...]

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything for a while. It’s probably going to continue like this for a while as well. I’ve had my family and friends visiting me from Finland. Also it’s the end of the semester here in Spain. I have many of school projects, presentations and tests are starting. It’s hard to [...]

I apologize for neglecting the blog for this long. My sisters came to visit me last Tuesday and I’ve been pretty busy with keeping up with them. It’s nice to see them again. They’ve eagerly headed to the beach or shopping at every possible moment. I’ve tried to show them the city as much as [...]

Yesterday I went to see a bullfight here in Barcelona, “Gran Corrida de Toros”. It was a weird experience. There was a small protest outside the arena ( Plaza de Toros Monumental) about the cruelness of bullfighting. I have no problems with killing animals for food. Especially the hunters who shoots dears, rabbits, mooses, etc. [...]

I’m exhausted. 4 days, 4 flights and many many walked kilometers.
Beautiful cities, means thousands of photos. I loved Rome. I’ve heard a lot good things about Italy, but never actually expected so much, but it was really a positive surprise. Great food, helpful, polite and cheerful people, good weather, tourist friendly and exciting places to [...]

Tomorrow morning I’m flying to Rome and Wednesday morning I’ll fly to Seville, so probably no blog posts or new pictures coming until Thursday.
I’m really looking forward to Rome. Never been in Italy, but I know that Rome is like heaven to anyone who likes photographing. I only have two 2GB SD cards, so that’s [...]

During Easter I got some Finnish delicacies and I was able to enjoy some foods that actually were very basic and boring to me in Finland. Mämmi is the only one of these that is related to Easter, but all of these are very traditional.
Breakfast Hosted on Zooomr
Breakfast is porridge. As you can see from [...]
