So there is ONLY 14 days left for us here in Scotland. After that our plane will take us back to Finland. Back to home. Is it okay that Scotland kind of become a home for us, too? And we had a new family here. People started leaving Storie Street.. So sad :(
Soon it would be four months since we moved here as exchange students. Time flies too fast! Well, at least for us.. Sometimes you think that you haven't done anything but in the other hand you have seen so much and done things. You just have to bring them into your mind again. Like reading our old posts over and over again :D Love it.
We had experienced so much. We've seen lots of new places and fell in love with Scottish nature, learned how to live here. We learned how to use pounds (yes, we do know differences of all coins now and it don't take us eternity to find right ones), we understand Scottish accent (well sometimes we still have a problems with that but still..), we know how and where to find things and information.

| Our first friend |
We met awesome people here. First days we got our rooms, Henna decided to sleep at Marna's room and so happened that she just stayed and we lived together since that (Henna used her room only for a week when her bf came for a visit) :D We met Marina's flatmates together and Hemppe become part of the family!
At the beginning, we were really scared about meeting flatmates and that we have to share a kitchen with them. Henna has never lived with somebody else random (and Marina never saw her flatmates in her previous apartment..). And well, we hated that idea of sharing and compulsory communication with the others. We are Finnish - unsocial, shy people and we would have to meet people at the mornings? No way in Hell! Let's stay in closed room.
Thankfully we didn't do that. We decided to be brave. Yolo is our motto, now through life apparently! Nowadays, we are not sure how we gonna leave this place or what we gonna to do when everyone are left. Just two of us in whole flat. Kitchen is like our living room and we spend lot's of time there cooking/baking or just hanging with roommates.
-Bulgarian guy Teodor, fork/broccoli-man is
like a big brother we never had and always eating too healthy! Always teasing and joking about us but still, our friend who just have to stand us. 
- Jenni, our big sister! You understand
us as a Finn. You left us first and we miss you a lot! :( Thank god you are as crazy as we are and we definitely gonna meet in Finland again! 
- Oh and Spanish one. Thank you for those moments we saw you :D
We learned so much about other cultures (mostly about Bulgaria haha) and to understand others' accents. Every one of us learned a lot and improved.
We met people at school, when traveling and through friends'. We met Aman boy on our first trip to Harry Potter bridge and since then he has been a big help and friend for us! Thanks for standing us. But you know, we are the best company you can get so enjoy haha! Peace.
There are many people we met, it would take a lot of time to write about everyone. We hope pictures will cover that!
It was nice opportunity to meet people on ISUKTours. Thanks for the guides for great trips. And the great places we had a chance to visit ! Without you we wouldn't probably visit that much places in UK. Big thank you for all of you, Hoji, Ola, Amit and others ! |

| Guess who |
Yes, we know some Scottish people too :D It was a pleasure to know them and to do school groupworks with (MarkOps - never forget). There are moments we were not sure what you just said but we can just listen your accent for days, so we don't mind. Hope nodding is enough for an answer.
Thank you also the greatest teacher of all-time, James Watt. What would we do without your lectures twice a week ? And how we're gonna survive without your teasing in lectures about us and our weird culture ?! And muffins.. What we gonna eat now?! Yeah, enjoy your Finlandia-vodka with Irn-Bru and some Finnish chocolate. And thanks for the free coffee !And us.. sorry for being so annoying with our puerility (Pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbow...). We are just crazy like-twins with weird ideas. How we gonna just leave you not seeing you again every morning and day? How about our common jokes and deep/meaningless conversations? Damn. Thanks for making us suffer.
For Henna's flatmates two floor below, oh dear Germans. Sorry for Henna being a ghost for you. Or, at least you heard her once in a while (sorry about that, disturbing your "silence" :D).
For Finnish friends and relatives.. This doesn't mean that we don't miss you! We can't wait to see you too. It has been too long since we talked properly and we just want to see you irl. And we will meet soon! Just a couple of weeks more, you will get us back.
Anyway. We still have time here in Scotland! We still have things to see but they are pretty impossible because of lack of money. But one day, we'll definitely come back to Scotland! But the rest of the days here for now.. Let's not spend our time at home. We have to go out, it's summer coming (please rain, go away)! Meaningless walks without aim are the best ones.
And now all guys are like "dah, girls.."
With love
