Chapter 30.

At first we though about writing this chapter in Finnish for change. Just because feeling a bit tired (of being lazy) but then realized that it's just... fun to write in English :D And we are all about fun so yeah. Yes, it is harder but hey, no pain no gain? About that..

Today we though about things we learned and improved on this trip. This task we have to do in Finland later, but I think all of this things won't be so acceptable or appropriate. We won't write them down back home but we'll be happy to share them with you. So, let's make a small list (please, some of them are just a joke):  


- By watching serials, we learned from Gossip Girl about fashion, from Suits some law things, from Pretty Little Liars how not to be surprised about anything weird and to be patient (WHO THE F*** IS A?). From Dexter we learned... well, how to kill and slice people and don't get caught. From all of them we learned also that don't lie about anything, because the truth will come out anyway.
- Learned some Bulgarian and French swearwords. Freaking wizard gays.... (Ps. Teo, we miss you singing THE song).
- Improved in being more open. Also we had freedom of speech. We can say anything to people without they knowing what we are saying in Finnish. What a relief to say anything you want ! All you need is a smile. What you are saying, they don't have to know. We are quite scared about that when we'll go back to Finland.. We are used to gossip too much. We're gonna get punched in the face (with a chair).
- Improved in English !!!!! Maybe the most important thing. See, we are writing in English without putting much pressure on it (and you can see it from all mistakes).
- Learned how to pack all our four moths stuff in one luggage (per person of course (okay, Hemppe has two big ones... more money spend with her).
- How to spend money.
- How to appreciate some of Finnish food and treats. 
- It is totally normal to drive on the left side of the road. Aaaand we gonna die in Finland. So friends back there, please help us.

So yeah, here's some things we wanted to share for now. We noticed that we have grown up here. This exchange has been a good thing for both of us. Two days left, really?! Starting realizing for real that this is coming to an end. 

Today we got our grades and well, let's say that pass is enough for us (not that bad). To be honest, it has been hard to concentrate on studying when there are so much things to see (new episodes for example.... [ok this sounds like we don't have a life but honestly, we have been doing lot's of other things too!]).

By the way! Happy National Doughnut Day! We almost thought we're gonna miss and not get any donuts because we remembered about this too late. All shops were already closed at 7pm. Except for lovely Morrison we though we never gonna visit again.. Oh, what you are ready to do for donuts! Anything. Even to walk to Morrisons (it is so far (like 15 minutes walking.......). It shouldn't be surprising that leaving shop besides donuts we had some ice cream, strawberries, cake.. Well, it's gonna be sweet weekend for us :D

Today we packed all our four moths belonging to luggage and we think we made a pretty success. It is POSSIBLE to close the suitcases. But yeah, no more shopping.. (haha u wish).

Yesterday we made a little walk around University to take some pictures of it. Just to remember. Before that we made a quick visit to Aman's place to drop some things. Enjoy your new mirror ! It was scary to carry it through people. We didn't want to get seven years of unlucky and most of you might know us... We are not so careful with things :D Anyway, mirror survived and so did we.

Tomorrow is a huge cleaning project. Wish us luck. 
Let us now leave you to enjoy of some pictures of great UWS:

As you see, our home is really close

 

Here you can see Uni, the "party place"

Well hello Aman !

Project from today.

 Cheers pals,

Chapter 23+1

Time flies. We don't mean here only our time in Scotland. We mean our life. Too deep? Ok ok. 

It's Henna's birthday today!! She turned into 23 years old granny. Congrats for living for so long and hopefully you will stay on this earth for many years more! (I hope so too ! T. Henna)
 
Because of our money issues (yeah, money magically disappeared) we decided to just leave party for Friday and spend this day in peace at home. And it was a wonderful day, so warm an sunny! We went to take some pictures of Henna, first day of being 23, yay. Marna got some pictures too ;) 

After some exiting walking around Paisley and finding our way out from cemetery (yeah we got lost there.. nice place to spend your birthday) we went back home. It was so good weather and we felt like it was real summer. We went outside, taking some fruits with us, and sat in a corner of our residence.


In the evening our French boys invited us for a dinner. So we got free food with bunch of other French guys too. And for the fifth time in couple weeks we made a cake, again :D Well for today's excuse its Henna's special day!! And Henna got to blow candles on top of the cake !!! ♥ She did it last time when she was like 10 years old or something so it was really exciting !

Well anyway, people, remember to live, love and laugh! Even though we are all the time joking that now we are already with one foot in the grave, we are young and full of energy! Maybe just a little bit tired but it's only in our mind. Enjoy your life ;) And our pictures. SO beautiful faces. Yes.

Marna and her love

Cool photographing style M

Umm... what ?

 

 

 GUYS GUYS GUYS IT'S SUMMER COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With love

Chapter 21.

Hello fellas! Long time no seen? Sorry for that. We just went trough our London-trip pictures (over 1000pics per camera...) and had some recovering time. Yes. We needed over the week for that.

So about our long long-awaited journey to London! We had 5 awesome days there with a good company (containing us, Jenni, Teodor, Aman and at times some other people). We are not going to tell everything with details, just some best memories. We walked and saw too much so it would be take ages to write everything down.

Let's start with our journey from Paisley to London. First we had to take train from Paisley to Glasgow and then we jumped into the bus which took us to our destination. Imagine about 10 hours of sitting on your ass without the possibility of moving anywhere off your seat. No proper place for your feet. All night of traveling like that. Sleeping was almost impossible thing to do..it was really uncomfortable and what a relieve it was to finally step up from the bus and breath "fresh" London air.

London is a huge city! After realizing that we are in London, we had to wait an hour more when bus finally reached the center. We bought Oyster cards and most of the time we traveled by tube or bus (because of some underground line closing). It took about 30min (or more) from our hostel to center and by tube just 10min. Thank god they fixed the line so we could use tube on our last days. 
Most of the time we just walked. Walked around big and small streets finding interesting things and places. I think we crossed every bridge in London center? From now on, we worship the creator of plasters and cold gel.

We were blessed having an awesome weather! It was sunny and warm. Perfect ingredients to feel happy and to enjoy everything. Usually we woke up at 8am, took a shower and headed for a breakfast. After we took a nap. About 11am we left our hostel to find some new adventures.

I think we saw every attraction which are associated with London (Minus Madame Tussauds.. Have to go back someday). Also we had some our own fun while finding some Banksy arts. If you are going to London, try to just walk around, turn on some small streets and you'll see other side of that city. You can find cool places or if you need a quiet place after rushing center, it's right thing to do. Don't be afraid to get lost! Nowadays everyone has navigation on their phone :D It is really useful, we can tell.

If something shocked us, that was the number of people. Oh lord.. We thought Glasgow had lots of them but no! That was a totally new level for us, for two small girls from freaking land of "people need at least one meter their own space". Funny thing is, do they have any real Brits in London? Or just tourists. Anyway. Beautiful place, even tho we thought everything would be much bigger and more great. (We kinda liked Edinburgh more..#scotland4ever).

We saw lot's of random things, like while walking on the street one guy was pointing on people saying "God loves you!". Apparently God loves us too yay. Also, I don't know how many time we saw birds fucking. Like c'mon, get a room! Alright, it is natural thing to do and well, birds like attention. but still Sorry for pictures.

London knows how to surprise. We went to see new Fast and Furious 7-movie and after trying to figure out how to get back to hostel at late time, we got into real action! There was some kind of race or just rich people showing their cars. (RACERACERACE !! Henna was like a child in the candy shop :D) We were pretty exited and atmosphere were great. All those people with phones and so much cool cars and so much noise.. Brilliant experience after really good movie! We couldn't ask for more, we were so lucky! God really loves us. (maybe the best part of the trip haha) (Yes it was !).

We had an opportunity to take a look at Londons nightlife. Just a small one. Pubs were closing really early.. Blaah.. But hey, no hangover next day. A day of shopping! Not even gonna say how much money we spent. Let's just say that a lot. Or let's just skip this part. Thank you Victoria's Secret !

Last day wasn't quite our day. At the morning Marina hit her head to locker door. Really hard (still hurts after these days (and I think I have a small hole there too..)), then while searching for the phone in a bag she walked straight to the lamp post... yes... like they do in a movies. After that Aman managed somehow to throw his glasses into her :D at her face. Wtf was wrong with this day! People just had accidents one after another.. At the restaurant waitress poured the glasses of cider on the table, things broke... etc. etc.

Overall, nice trip, nice city, nice people. Nice. And imagine the bus trip back home.. yep, same feeling as we described earlier. We really missed Scottish accent (Henna: Nah, not so much actually :D still mixed feelings about this country). In London, it was weird to understand what people were saying. Seriously. 

 Last week we also had to say bye to our dear flatmate Jenni :( She left Scotland, us. Fuck u school. We started missing you right after you left and it so strange that you are not here. But thanks for the food! We are not saying goodbye because we definitely will see you back in Finland! Don't worry :* xx
This put us to think that soon, everyone will go on their own way and we won't be flatmates anymore. Not seeing you guys everyday? How is that possible..We still have time bully each other ;) we will take all the joy out of this so be ready.

Next trip ahead on Saturday, tomorrow, when we're going to Newcastle.

More what we did you'll see in pictures(sorry there's like million of those, but enjoy):

Spriiiiiing
