The Weekend

Blankets on the chairs. Turn your head to the left

The lunch at Ikea. Meatballs, potatoes, rye bread, and chocolate mousse!

My book (turn to the left a little)

So today I went to Ikea for lunch. Ikea here is so incredibly cheap. They also have an amazing lunch. I then went to Turku with my friend, Maiju and went shopping. We went to an asolutely amazing (and expensive) cafe and they had blankets outside on the chairs and tables because it was chilly out. I thought it was so cute :) So of course, I had to take a picture. The H&M's in Europe are so incredibly cheap it makes me want to cry. The Euro coins begin at 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents. It then goes to 1 Euro coin and they also have 2 Euro coins so it is very easy to spend..trust me...but I am a smart shopper! Converse are incredibly popular here. Along with leggings and sweatpants (yay!) There is also a Finnish store called, Marimekko. They sell clothes, bags, and home design things. A lot of stores here will have home things along with clothes which is unusual. The temperate is varying day to night around 40-50 degrees farenheit, which is nice to have cool nights. We will have a fire in the fireplace tonight. We also went to a mall called Mylyy today (prounounced MooLoo) and I got a children's book of Finnish to English- with pictures! Yay!! Only €10 and my host mom got it for me! How nice :) Hopefully that and the things I have learned from Karkku will help me. I have writted down important verbs and I am learning family members right now, well, trying. It will get easier...I hope!

Ikea! And I dont know what is says underneath...

My new book! :)
