These days, it is so fresh air in Finland!

The air in Finland is not polluted…so my friends, Keroro, Doraemon, and Mickey also wanted to get fresh air!!!

This Keroro’s ED is our favorite song! Isn’t it so cute??

Andreas bought the concert tickets for next year.
The band name is “DragonForce”.

Look at their fingers how to play the guitar! That is amazing!!!

Last day, we finally decided to go to a museum. The museum we visited was “Schatzkammer (Imperial Treasury)”. The museum contains the Hapsburgs’ collection of jewels, crowns, and others.

After visiting museum, papa san took us a nice coffee, Mozart cafe. That restaurant was very nice inside, and foods were very nice

there were many kinds of cakes again….it was so hard to choose, hehehe

After a while, I could finally choose one I like!

It was very sad to say goodbye to them. This picture was I took from the train.

It was only short time, but we really had a good time. We thank you for everything to our parents. They gave us a lot of gifts, so carrying our stuff was very heavy, hehehe.

On September 20th, it was raining

Yay~voting for elections?!

We were supposed to visit a palace, but changed our plan to go shopping Oh~ my favorite time

After shopping, we had several bags, hehehe

This day, main activity was just shopping , shopping and shopping We got 6 pairs of shoes, autumn clothes for me and one sports jacket for Andreas Except father, everyone got something

This day was very relaxed day. Then,  we had a luncg at the same shop as last day. And, took a nap for a little while. Then, we went to see Opera!

lunch beer as usual

Music was really nice BUT, we were sleeping, hihihi. Only a little bit There is one reason we were sleeping. They didn’t have any translation and it was all German…so we were trying to wake up, but….

After the Opera finished, we had a couple of drinks at the hotel bar!

From this Monday, I finally start working. My title is Research Assistant, of course, because I am doing my Master thesis there I am very happy to work in my team, because my boss is known at least in my area.

Bad part is that my workplace is quite far away from my home. It easily takes for one hour by bus… Now, in Finland the view is very nice, because all of the leaves turn red and yellow On the other hand, this means that WINTER is coming soon Here is some pics about my work place.

We took a short trip to Vienna from 19th to 21st on September.

The purpose was to see Andreas’ parents. They came to Europe for thier vacations.

I haven’t see them for 1.5 years already

BUT, I had one deadline for my homework, and I hadn’t done with it. Yeah, I slept only 1 hour before the trip, and Andreas also helped me, even he was sick…The day we met our parents was terrible for us…lack of sleep, hihihi We were just sleepy and sleepy

sickness

First, we went to hotel to meet our parents. We stayed at HOTEL this time, not HOSTEL… I was so happy to stay there and that hotel was good location to go anywhere. Then, we had some lunch at cafe!

at the room, a balloon was waiting for us

potato soup and shrimp

The foods and beers were very good. I really liked it so much!

at the cafe

Then,  we went to St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Last time, we also visited to this church. This reminded us about last trip in Vienna, ya I was actually very excited about being in vienna again. Well, the city is nice and safe. Also, many things are going on all the time. Many museum and so many places are available to visit! Nice music and friendly and tranquille people! This is just my opnion, hehehe.

outside of the Cathedral, people were asking about concert

There was a cafe shop, Aida, in front of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Of course, we had a coffee and cake! Andreas’ mother also likes a cake At that shop they sell many kinds of cakes, so it was hard to decide which one I should take

It was very nice to have a cake, hihihi

Then, for next day we wanted to go to Opera, so went to VOLKS OPER. Andreas and I was sure that we could fall asleep during Opera, so we did buy the middle price of tickets. The tickets were almost sold out, so we were lucky to get the ticket, yay!

We took our parents to the restaurant, Centimeter where we liked during the last trip. They have the traditional AUstrian foods!

Garlic soup and Austrian feast!

having a dinner!

“Starbucks coffee” I was missing it! I have no idea why in Finland there is NO STARBUCKS COFFEE SHOP

It was my first time to attend to the party for Mexican Independence day! We got an invitation from Embassy of Mexico in Finland. So, I wanted to see what it looks like, and how party is going on. The place for this event was Crypt of white church. It was also first time for me to go inside of that church.

everyone was pushing to get foods!

hehehe, Mexican foods in Finland

The atompsphere was different with normal, even though it is in Finland! Also, we had some free Corona beer, wine and Mexican foods. OMG I AM missing the Mexican spicy foods, hahaha. The salsa sauce was hot, and there was Mole sauce, too!
