Remembrance of Canada

While I was looking through pictures in my phone I found some memorable moments from my exchange. For example my first bus ride from Toronto to Guelph when I fighter planes or what ever they are called. Quite impressive. 

There were also some pictures from my first trip to Detroit before Halloween. Fall colors in the USA just scream Halloween to me, it also reminded me of this one tv movie I watched. It is such a different feel to what life is like here in Finland.

Also one of my first sights in Guelph was this beautiful sunset, at the time it was raining and I was on my way to get some food as the next day would be Labour Day and no shops would be open. Its kinda odd how in Canada the sun would set at a certain time and so early in the day. Well for a Finn, whom is used to either dark all day or light all day, the Canadian light was so strange.

The one thing I've been craving like crazy lately, TIM HORTONS. Their french vanilla cappuccino is to die for! It was my favorite, and it even beat Starbucks! Lets see if I can convince anyone from Canada to send me the powdered instant coffee version. 

Pumpkin carving contest. There were some interesting pumpkins. Not much to say about this event, I ate a lot of free pizza and watched people carve pumpkins. Didn't try though, I had tried that once before and it doesn't feel so hot on your hands. 

Oh yeah a poster me and another Finnish girl made to promote our school. I think my school has had only one exchange student from Canada so far. Anyway we tried to highlight all the cool things about Finland. Like Lapland, Northern Lights, Nokia, Angry Birds, Hockey players. We also included pictures of Lahti and our school(though our school has no official picture of it, very lame)

Detroit

I visited my sisters exchange parents in Detroit a few times, though I have very little picture material of those trips but heres some pictures. Also getting really frustrated with blogger and flickr, everywhere I run out of space for pictures. I don't want to pay for space, come on I'd rather not post any pictures then(well not true but kinda). Anyway good thing I like photoshoping so at least you can get many pics though in very small sizes. So as you can see we visited a cider mill where I got a candy apple, whoa that was sticky. They had a really nice creek in the area where we even saw a crab. The other thing that one should do if you are from Finland well that is to go see a NHL game and of course since we were in Detroit we went to see the Detroit Red Wings against Nashville Predators. Worst part was both teams had finnish players as in Detroit has Valtteri Filppula and Nashville has Pekka Rinne. We had a dilemma here. After the game we went to see the Hard Rock Café in the center, as our Hard Rock thing started with my sisters exchange parents, at least I think so :)

Toronto In December

Still with these late posts, but pictures are always worth sharing. So its a bit odd looking at some Christmas stuff in them but so what. Toronto was truly magical during this trip I loved it! So get ready for a overload of pictures.

CN Tower, a must see in Toronto

Everything is so small

The glass floor, my mom didn't dare step on it

golden building!

tikkutalo!

the tower

worst cecar salad ever

the streets

Business stuff

perfect break from the cold weather, gingerbread latte!

Swarovski tree!

Niagara Falls vol 3

So I'm a bit late with these pictures but better late than never right? :) Anyway I made my way to Niagara Falls with my parents when they visited me in Canada, this time we were on the US side. Actually when we went to Buffalo we drove back through Niagara Falls.

Joo siis oon vähän myöhässä näiden kuvien kanssa, mut hei parempi myöhään ku ei milloinkaan. Tosiaan kolmatta kertaa Niagara Fallsilla mutta tälläpä kertaa USAn puolella. Eli kun Buffalosta ajeltiin takas Guelphiin ni poikettiin Niagaralla.

odd to look at this part of the falls :)

Oddly good picture of me.

Good ending with finally finding Linkin Park stuff in a Hard Rock Cafe! My favorite band of all time, though I'm not that constant at liking music. Like me I change my mind quickly or I make up my min quickly, it also applies to music :)

Hyvä lopetus tällä postaukselle eli vihdoinkin törmäsin Linkin Parkiin Hard Rock Cafessa :) About time! Tosiaan Linkin Park on yks niitä bändejä johon en kyllästy vaikka välillä on erilaisia vaiheita musiikin suhteen. Mun mieli muuttuu aika nopeasti mut mä myös teen päätöksiä aika nopeasti, joten sama pätee musiikkiin. 

You've Got Mail

Its always an exiting process of going to your mail box and checking if you have any mail. Usually you find ads and bills, but then again sometimes you get postcards and on the rare occasion you might get a letter. Well I've been lucky enough to be remembered by a few people and this post is to them and also the people that have emailed me, you guys made my days much brighter.

lol, my address is huge, so long

Everyday I'm Suffering

I don't really have any idea behind this post, just had some pictures I wanted to share and kinda trying to get my mind off school stuff in a way. Can't believe my time here in Canada will be soon over, but I'm really excited about going home. Its going to be hard to say goodbye to some of the nicest people I've met here but on the other side I can't wait to be back in the arms where I belong and to get to hug my little nieces. Oh that reminds me, need to do some serious Christmas shopping soon!

At least not all text in school books are boring, yet these are articles so no wonder they were interesting.

Montreal Crew

So just adding some pictures of the girls I was with in Montreal they really are what keeps me going here in Guelph. The nicest group of girls I have ever know.

Worst Day Ever Feeling

You know those days that just won't go your way? or maybe it can stretch out the be as long as a week of just plain old sucky stuff. Well that was my today. Well it was my last week as well. I bet if the weather was more sunny, I'd be feeling a little better though..

the phone that caused me so much trouble, big bill and small message memory

Toronto - Chinatown

So one Saturday day I spent in Toronto. Actually in Chinatown and the area around it, but also in Eaton center. Really wanna visit Eaton center again, need to do some more shopping. VS was neglected on this particular day. Oops, not the best in time management. I should really learn to organize my time better.

I kept waiting for this kind of welcome the whole time, and found it before I left :)

Downtown Guelph

So living in Guelph, it would have been a shame to have never visited the downtown area. It wasn't quite what I expected, but still nice in its own way.

Niagara Falls Yet Again

So finally I got my lazy ass to get them Niagara Falls pics here so enjoy:

Niagara on the lake - small town

Random Moments in Canada

So more pictures from Canada, didn't really have a theme for this one. Just some pictures I've taken. Like my prepaid phone which I got after the battle to find a provider that can text Finland.. Just stuff like that.

The LG phone.

School Life

Yep just a random pictures of me doing homework. Seems I have a lot of it lately. This past week I had two presentations to do and a quiz. It's only the second week.

Doing homework..

On Campus

So finally some pictures of University of Guelph, though not the whole campus since I rarely carry my camera around. Too heavy with all my school stuff.

According to a map I have this is called Hutt
