It has been two months since I arrived to Finland.

July 23-25 After leaving from work on Friday, I took the train to Helsinki.

June 24th One partof the lake.

May 29th and 30th I didn’t do much my first weekend in Tampere.

Wednesday May 26th My trip began in Rochester, NY.

I am currently living in the city of Tampere in Finland.

So I skipped a few days.

I woke up this morning to a room temperature of 10C (50F).

I woke up this morning to see my car covered with some snow, along with most houses around the area.

Today some friends came over to have some pão de queijo, quesadillas, and other stuff.

Today I finally received my passport with my residence permit, or oleskelulupa uppehållstillstånd as they call it, from Finland.

My sinus infection hasn’t gone away.

So after lunch today, we heard a helicopter flying overhead.

So today I had my first encounter with contemporary (1900-now) music.

I made a remote trigger using an MCT6 Optocoupler, some buttons, LED’s, and 2.5mm stereo jack.

It seems that I am not very good at updating this thing unless I am traveling.

…since I started this blog.

It’s almost been a year since I set up this blog.

This is posting straight from my phone!

Ok….

Yesterday (Monday) was not too bad.

Ok, so I finally have some time to write this thing.

I haven’t forgotten about the blog.

Today I took a train to St.

Yesterday was my last day of work.

Sorry for not posting as often as before, I have been quite busy over the last few days.

Today I showed up to work only to find out there was no new group of students.

Today I woke up fairly early, even thought I went to bed late.

Yesterday I set my alarm to turn on at 8am because on Saturday work starts at 10am.

Today we found some interesting artifacts at the archaeological dig.

Yesterday was not very eventful, except for the stupid fish.

So it rained a lot on Saturday… It was sunny on Sunday and today.

Yesterday (Saturday) was pretty uneventful, so I will not wire a blog post for it.

So I didn’t really get much rest last night.

Today I woke up around 7am as usual.

Today I went to school and took my final exam.

This morning I was faced with the same problem as before, I wanted a 21 ruble water bottle but only had a 500 bill.

After Russian class today, I headed straight to work.

Yesterday I forgot to take my allergy suppressing medicine (Claritin) and, as expected, I woke up around 6:15am sneezing and with an itchy nose.

Today (Saturday) was a very interesting day.

This morning, the sky was cloudy and the forecast said there was going to be rain throughout the day.

So this morning I woke up and headed to the kitchen to heat up some water for my shower.

Today was pretty uneventful.

So today I woke up as usual and headed to the shower.

Today went like most other days, in the morning that is.

Today was not very interesting, but it was not very boring either.

Today I went to a town whose name translates to Old Russia.

Today was awesome.

I don’t usually start laughing in the middle of the street, but on some occasions, I just have to do it.
