Hi everyone

As I promised I'll tell you how living in Finland is. Obviously from a personal point of view.

To start I need to comment that I live in Turku, an old city in the southwest of Finland. It is 2,5 hours away from Helsinki, the capital city, if you take the bus.

The most important attraction for tourists is Turku's Cathedral. It's located in the city center and close to Aura river. It was built in the XIV century but it has been modified as time passed because the city suffered many fires during its history. 

I've taken several pictures of this Cathedral during different seasons (late summer, fall and winter) . It's quite big and beautiful I hope you enjoy these images.

Comments are welcomed!

See you in the next entry

PS: I couldn't upload the pictures in this post :(. This editor is not working. So I put the images in other server...please follow the next link :)

I moved to Finland in September last year to study some courses at the university. My company sent me together with other colleagues to complete an specialization program.

The cultural impact was shocking for me at the beginning. As everything is in swedish or finnish on the streets I felt so upset because I couldn't understand what was going. After several month here that picture hasn't change very much but now I'm able to accept the cultural differences and specially the weather!

In my city of origin the minimum temperature is around -1°C in winter and the maximun around 34°C in summer. But here I've been exposed to extremely low temperatures... -17°C and even less. When I have to go out I feel that I become a snowman hehehe

There's only 6 month left and I want to learn as much as possible and come back to see my family and friends again.

I want to share some pictures in ebaby and comment events and experiences that take place during my stay in Finland. So check soon my next entry :D

Hi people!

As you should know this is the year of rabbitLaughing

I was lucky because I traveled to Taiwan in Chinese new year so everything was rabbit related :) (Have I told you I love rabbits??)

This time I'm sharing with you some picture I took in a Lantern Festival which took place in Miaoli. It was sooo pretty I thought it was a dream ^^

Comments are welcome!

Greetings from Chile
