Chinaland, part 2

My second day in Beijing was great, like all of them, to be honest. It was Sunday, so we had whole day to do the sightseeing. We visited Beijing zoo, which was so big that it took the whole first part of the day. Really, Finnish zoo is nothing compared to it. I saw so many animals I've never seen before, and the absolute highlight was the giant panda. There was 4 of them, one adult of the zoo, one baby panda of zoo, one olympic house panda and one asian games panda. I like the baby panda and the olympic one, which was eating bamboo very eagerly :) It was so cute! In evening, we went to a very fine restaurant and ate there super delicious Chinese food. I think everyone at the table was having fun watching me tasting all kind of new things :D I had fun, too.

Back from China xoxo

I know, there has been too long gap again between my writings, but I hope you'd forgive me. Now I really do have something to write about as I just returned to this depressing, closed and poor town from huge, brilliant, awesome and ... the best place I've ever been, China! I'm 100% sure that I've lived there in my former life because I've never felt so familiar and cosy ever before.
Since I got to experience so many things during these 10 days, I'll write always about one day/posting.

Day 1:
We left Finland on Friday afternoon at 6pm, and the flight took about 8 hours and 20 minutes. It's +5 h in China, so the flight was like short night, which I spent by watching movies since I just couldn't sleep on the plane. It was very bad "decicion", as I soon found out, because doing the sightseeing is not so fun when you're in half-coma due to lack of sleep. We arrived to China at 7am where we met the teachers of the friendship school. We went to the school and met our host families (and I must say that my family was the kindest ever!). During the same day we visited the Summer Palace, which was huge and really beautiful place to see. Only bad thing was that I was so tired in the end of the tour that I couldn't really see anything before my eyes and when we got into the car, I noticed that I couldn't stay up any longer. So the rest of the day was spent by taking nap and eating supper, which was Chinese, of course, and also very delicious. That was my first day in China in a nutshell ;)

I WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

True. I have some kind of mysterious flu right now which really pisses me off. First I couldn't walk even 20 metres without feeling like I've run hundreds of miles; I felt like my lungs were going to explode (you can just imagine what it was like to walk to school 2 km away!). Next victim was my throat, it hurted so much that it's impossible to describe it. And yesterday I had high fever. Tomorrow I'll have to go back to school, no matter what!
About the photos... well, I made one about very good books I like and two about my postcards :)
Yesterday we had a meeting about the China-thing, and we decided to make one day trip to another city, which is about as far from Beijing as Lapland is to us, so we're gonna spend two nights in train. We could choose soft bed in train, which costs 30 euros more than hard bed, including massage etc. It's quite funny, actually. I'm ok with the hard bed, but mom says I absolutely have to pay that 30 euroes and have a soft bed :D

I Love The Way The Sun Shines Outside

So, winter break... I've been waiting it so long time and now it's here. I don't have so many plans for this week, just Wednesday I'll say bye-bye, hair! and Thursday one of my friends is coming over for a night. And something I would never have expected to happen; mom said that when we're next time going to Estonia, I can dye my hair at hairdresser! For an explanation, mom usually doesn't accept hair dyeing. I only let one Estonian hairdresser cut and dye my hair since she's very good (I have some experiences with bad hairdressers, too! It causes goosebumps when I just think about it).

I want to bake something good today... I'd like to make waffles, but I already decided to make them on Thursday, so today I'll do something else.

Last Friday my Swedish teacher asked me what's my Swedish grade (I had different teacher in my last course.) I wasn't sure but I said it was 8... well, later I noticed anyway it was 9, but it doesn't matter right now. Anyway, when she heard it, she said that I'm in too low leveled group and she nearly called my classmates stupid o.o That didn't good for me to have this discuss, because I think the group I'm in isn't too bad, my grade is just too good. Well, that only means that I have to work harder now... π.π Good bye, lazyness! <- though I don't think I'd ever stop being lazy, it's just who I am.

Abnormally nice thursday...

...or something like that. Despite the fact that I still haven't got used to this inhuman temperature outside, I still had a lot of fun today. I ate a lot of candies, which ISN'T so good thing when you see the consequences. We had one corridor darkened and intensifyed with different special lamps (it was forbidden to pass that corridor to epileptics), and the best thing about it was its theme: MUSHROOMS!! They were hanging from the roof and shining because of uv-lights. The whole place was named "Mushroom forest".

Uh, yeah.

My dislike against the biology teacher just increased to the level 'hatred'. I really tried to endure and think nicely of him, but these times are over now. And I really do have a reason for it! I got worse grade that I expected and when the evil teacher gave our exam papers back, he purposely squinted at my paper as if he couldn't figure out my written name. What an asshole. I had written it very clearly! And when I went to get that paper, he looked at me like I was a louse or something. He should get a life.

Um... one more thing! I've been thinking about translating these texts into Finnish, too. What do you think, is it necessary or not? 'Cos I feel kinda outsider because I use only English... I DEMAND you to answer!

Ps! I'll get my new haircut next week >.< I still hesistate, but I think Ishoud do it. I'll get a new flat iron soon, anyway (as soon as I've hoovered the whole house....T.T)

But now, I'll stop here and go to watch the new episode of House md~~ Pictures next time!

Enough. Seriously.

I have about 3-5 drafts in blogger waiting to be published. I just can't finish them... all my inspiration has died.

Yesterday I went to movies with my friend to see a movie, Burlesque. And, to be honest, I liked it much more than I first thought. The synopsis obviously was poorly written as I thought before going to see the movie that it would suck only because I hate those "poor-pretty-girl-gets-lucky-with-talent", the Cinderella stories, in other words. But it wasn't only about that, so it didn't suck.

You know, I want money right now! I challenge you to figure out something as painfull as having money without permission to use it! You'll probably find it difficult... or maybe not. My wanna-have list keeps growing and I just can't get anything. You have no idea how much that sucks. But my jeans are quite worn out already, so mom has no other choice than to buy me new...>:3 bwahahahaa!

I think that being diplomatist in the future is quite for me (not because i like it). It's something I've got used to during this year. I have to go to school, but on the other hand, I also need to go to work to earn something for China-trip. And everyone blames me for having too many things to do. It's not my fault!

I've been thinking about what to do when my friend is coming here during my break. Last time when I was at their place, we watched movies to 3am, but I guess that's not so easy to carry out at our place. First, my people have a veeeeery bad habit to have a TV in the middle of the house, so that no one could sleep with it on. And plus, it's so embarassingly tiny TV!!! Two things I don't like to talk about: our TV and the amount of my sisters. Some people know why.

Tomorrow I'll get my exam results back! I'm quite worried about psychology, Swedish, Finnish and art. I didn't study for them at all. I didn't even try the night before exams. I tried on the exam mornings... so that's why I should be worried. But I think and hope I did well in biology, because I wanted to show that favoring teacher that I can do it! I didn't show any activity during the lessons, so I'm very sure that I'm not getting 10, but hopefully it's not 4 either... I've never got even 5, and I just can't get it when the teacher said 1/3 got 4 and failed... worst grade I've got in high school is 7 and that was for algebra, so I'm quite confused! o.o

Kisses and hugs,

Mindrape

Here's some! I just can't stop watching it AAAAAAHHH SNAAAAAKE SNAAAAAAAKE! XD
Some people really do have some unique imagination... you know, maybe it's just me, but "badgers, badgers" start to sound a bit like "bacio, bacio, bacio" after a while.

I won't write anything smarter here right now since I'm so nauseous after eating some chewing gum which has yucky taste...

Adieu anyway and sincerely yours,
