finnish way of living

For yesterday (sat)

Liisa and Marttin came to pick us at 11am, before that we went to the mart to buy a gift for them. They drove us to their house with car and it is the first time for me going down the street in a car, since walking is my only transportation here.

They showed us some photo albums and we played Memory game ( the game which you have to find two identical cards ). Guess what ? I got the last place ! hahaha can't believe my memory is worse than Liisa and Marttin. After that, we did some baking XD

in the process of making finnish bread XD

i did the smiley face and HZ did the hair !

This is fresh berries juice made by Liisa. It tasted like ribena but better and fresher.

Ate the 'Hot from the oven' bread together with the juice. NICE NICE hahha!
Liisa taught us some finnish nursery rhymes

I think it is better that i don't say what i'm playing. Really embrassing hahah!

preparing the lunch

Our lunch- baby potato, mushroom sauce and meat

Desert- Icecream with homemade berries sauce

Went for a walk in the forest. We walked about 45mins. Yes, i need to burn some fats anyway!

Marttin with his exercising stick. Most of the elderly use this over here to help them with walking, not very sure about this too hahah

We went for a swim in this lake. It is freezing, freezzzing, freezzzzzzing COLD. It like ice water, i think it is around 5-6 degrees celsius. My whole leg got numb within seconds and i just froze there with my lower body in the water. Thank to the push from Huizhen and the slippery stair filled with algae, i then got into the water. Thank very much huh Huizhen ! hahaha.

We were shocked when Liisa said it's time to go. I was barely in the water for a minute. I think this is their way of swimming. Because when i went in to change to my clothes, another woman was changing into her swimsuit and when i'm done wearing my jeans, she was back. Anyway, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to really swim too.

Oh ya, after the swim you won't feel cold at all instead you will feel very warm XD

Our teabreak hahah!

I like their house. It is very heart-warming. They have stayed here since 1980s. =)

We went to their sauna after resting for awhile. Yes, almost every finnish families will have a sauna room in their house. Finnish people go into the sauna naked. But i can't really take it yet so i used a towel to cover hahah. i remember she said that the time when you can come into the sauna naked, you will be a real finnish girl.

I like the hot and cold feeling. When you cannot take the heat inside the sauna anymore, you should go out and take a cold bath and back into the sauna. In this way, it will wash away the dirt from your body too.

Liisa offered us beer after sauna. We sat in a room to cool ourselves down before changing. She OFFERED ! so you see, you really got to learn how to drink.

Dinner- baked barley, they spent two hours baking this

It would be better if i have a book under this atmosphere.

Sun - 27 Sep

Today is totally uneventful. Did the laundry and just spent half of the day lying on the bed reading 'Twilight' hahah XD

Finally i'm done with this post! I intended to use only 10 mins, in the end i took me about an hour and half !
