So obviously, this isn't Finland. But E. had never had a really girls' night. You know, chick flicks to make you cry and so much junk food to make you throw up. Maybe it's a North American thing. So, we went to the market, got as much junk food as we could carry, and took it back to E. and L.'s place for some girl time. The only rule? L. wasn't allowed to join. I have to say though, E. really isn't too experienced with the whole junk food thing. She gave up about five minutes into Love Actually...
Another thing that gets me about Finland? It looks like Canada. The nice thing about knowing this, though, is that there are REAL places to go hiking and camping (not just this whole trailer-obsession that the Germans have). And, as an added bonus, it's a lot cheaper to fly to Finland than Canada. Seriously.
And this is E. and me at the Arctic Circle. I never thought I'd go so far north. And even more than that, I never thought it was possible to burn in the sun when you're that far north. Nice.
Oh, our bikes. They loved each other. Seriously. Every time we went downtown on our bikes, they'd end up entangled in their love for each other. Unfortunately, the love story, like so many, was short-lived. E.'s bike (well, actually her friend's) was stolen from their apartment complex before I left. They also cut the lock and tried to steal the one I was using (the white one). The lock was all twisted in the spokes. It was nasty. And seriously, who'd try to steal that sexy-looking bike? Really?
And here is a picture of the bay in downtown Oulu. It was quite nice there. E. and I would just sit here, eat ice cream, and listen to live music. The dude there had an obsession with Bryan Adams. On the plus side, that meant I could understand and sing along with the lyrics. That's always a bonus. And, I even understood what he meant at the end of every song when he said "Kiitos, kiitos."
