and heartmelting kindness
as said before

best expirience!

and saying goodbye was
for sure
hard.
i cried.
i am sorry for that
haha.
but i am build near
water - i just can hold on to it.
normally.

but my stay was in no way
normal
or ordinary

words are failling here
and i am not much 
of an writer.
so i can only say

kiitos very much.

.first things first

i want to show you first
the cooking!
i attended a cooking class
at logomo
with some of the staffmembers
of the liebraries.

it was a lot of fun
and one of the best meals
i had.

i said it very often
i am not a fish person
but - this one. 
i could easily live on that!
ha.

enjoy. 

we were
divided in groups
and every group had
to prepare a course
we did the starter - and
believe me

well well. it was a blast.

kiitos!

.uff uff

saying goodbye is way harder 
than thought.

i got so so used to 
here.
all those amazing people!
aaaaah.

so this is the juslenia team
kiitos!
for all the knowledge
and the heartmelting
kindness!
a lot!

the genera project

and as always 
i had the best company.
thank you marjatta!

.taidekappeli

.kiitos marjatta!

tomorrow is the
big and sad goodbye.
i do not want to think about that
but i will write about it.

.library hopping

during my last days
i am still working
on the german genera collection
which i try to evaluate
this is a pretty cool work
and i am also doing 
some service desk hours
 but
we do also all kind of fun stuff!

yesterday, marjatta took me
to see the libraries of the Åbo Akademi
this is the swedish [speaking] University
in Turku
i had no idea how big this University
and its libraries is.
it is a bit like, the one half of Turkus innercity
belongs to the finnish University
and the other to the swedish. ha.
it was really interesting to see those facilities
[but i am even more happy
that i ended up at the 'right' one. hihi] 
 
i did not made any pictures 
but
i will do some on friday. well on friday
i will be doing tons of pictures i hope
i can show you the nicest staff [all of them
or at least the majority]
i met here

oh i am getting sentimental!

.naantali & the mumins

i do work too!

ha even though
i get a bit of a special treatment during
my last days. yay me!

yesterday juha and i were
allowed to go a bit earlier
so that juha could show me
naantali
a beautiful place by the sea
and just a stones throw away 
from turku
[as everything]

juha is always my partner in crime
and yesterday while we 
visited the closed but still kinda
open muminstal
we felt like hänsel & gretel
[we had such a running joke 
going on there!
since we ended up at ikea
eating way too much cake]

and 
i was also 
for a very brief moment
a mermaid yesterday
i dream came true.

ha!

ola hyvää - pictures now.

.eighth week

yes i can not believe it either!

last week
was full of reviews.
i listed all the work i have done 
so far
all the things i learned
and i had to realize
[even though i knew that all along]
that they took such good
care of me here
i was thought so much!
i also made some really good 
achievements and experiences
i could not be happier.
 
i also had such a perfect last 
weekend here!

i managed to go to ruissalo
and this time for real
[just because juha showed
it to me prior]
and even though it was quite
cold on saturday it was
such a bliss to be there
i had a good stroll

and on sunday i was invited
to marjatas house for lunch
and it was such a lovely 
and heartwarming afternoon!
kiitos
very much!

here are some photos of ruissalo

and since i am having a thight shedule
for my last week -  bye.
