So I'm tired and lazy and would much rather sleep than do this post, but I'd like to discuss Sunday and seeing as it's Tuesday I'd say it's quite overdue.
Sunday started out like any other day. I met up with a frenchman who kissed me on the cheeks and then headed to the kino to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 3D, which happened to be the frenchman's first movie in english. We were joined by another French friend of his and the three of us went to eat pizza while they spoke in French the entire time and looked at me like a I had two heads when I made a joke or said anything remotely complicated in English. Oh, how I had taken the Finn's english for granted!
Anyway, then things got interesting. Feeling a bit bold, adventurous, and terribly desperate for some english-speaking company, I made my way over to the Aussie Bar later that night. Yes, I met some Aussies, but more importantly, I met some Finns! Who, naturally, spoke better english than the Aussies (at least while drunk). My need for some english conversation was instantly fulfilled!
Now let me just say, these guys were a hoot. They were rugby players who had just won a game. In fact, they've won the rugby Finnish Championships for 3 years in a row! Just to give you an idea of the intensity I had surrounded myself with, here are some pictures of them which I stole from Facebook. A bit creepy, I know, but go with it. You know you'd be pissed if this post had no pictures.
Anyway, it was a pretty cool night. I was brave and tried the Snake Bite, the bar's "specialty" drink, and played Russian Roulette with the guys. But can I tell you a secret? I smelled the Tabasco in my shot so I made a swap.. Well, what do you expect?! I'm a lady.
You're such a men lady! (like ladies man, but flipped...heh). The French are kinda prideful and haughty anyway, stick with the Finns and Aussies!
ReplyDeleteHii, I'm Camilla (as you can see :D) and I was the last babysitter of the family! I found your blog from the link in facebook and I'm going to follow your blog, it seems really nice. I'm glad you're having a great time in Finland and most of all in a greatgreat family :) I have my own blog too about my au-pair time in a French speaking family in Belgium - unfortunately it's in Finnish.. I hope you have a nice end of summer in there (I miss a little bit the Finnish summer) :)
