My beautiful artwork ;)
Then on Friday, I finished packing up and got ready to move to the Arvo's.
They live about the same distance from my school, but on the street behind it. So basically I moved across the street :D
Here are some pictures of their house, but they don't really do it justice
Front door
Kitchen
Living room
Aki & Kirsi's room
Anna-Kaisa's (my sister) room
My room :D
My bathroom
Shower
Sauna
Pool
So that's the house :) it's super modern and very beautiful.
I really love this family already. They do not speak much English so I have really had to rely on my finnish skills (and google translate always helps). But they are the nicest people and I feel so at home. Yesterday Anna-Kaisa had to leave at 6 in the morning to go to school in Turku and it was her birthday, yet she left me the sweetest note ever. Little things like that really mean a lot!
Also Saturday I was in Turku for my district christmas party. I didn't take pictures so much at the party, but I did of the beautiful city :D
Turku Cathedral
Christmas market
One of my brazilian friends says "It's just like the chocolate river from Willy Wonka!"
The comparison of 12 year old Gorte to 17 year old Gorte
This weekend I'm going to Northern Finland with about 140 other exchange students!
That's all!
