Homecoming

This is it then, after 8 months of being abroad Im back in Finland now. During those 8 months I've been lucky to be able to discover secrets of Asia. First six months in China visiting in eleven different cities including Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet special regions and a top of that the amazing trip to North-Korea. Next two months I spent in South East Asia in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia seeing places from sandy beaches to skyscrapers or mysterious jungles. I've meet many people, some just have been occasionally encounters but also new good friendships bonds have been created. One thing that I realized is the importance of language but even if you don't speak, it doesnt really stop you from meeting people and discovering world.

Now Im back at home and for me it is time to get back to reality. By that I mean to start another semester, hopefully my last one as it is time to start writing my MA thesis and also start working for a six months internship in my university international office. Even that my international adventure is over, I can still keep up and be surrounded by international atmosphere and who knows where my life will take me after graduating.



Counting two years backwards, I have spent less than half year in Finland and rest of the time abroad. I made a decision that it is really time to stop for a moment so I will stay in Finland at least until next summer is over for three main reasons: First, to be able to complete my internship and degree, secondly to enjoy things that I have in here and thirdly to invite people I've met during past two years to come to visit in Finland.

Thank you and goodbye, hopefully I will see you soon!
