A roo- from the selection of pictures for Finns
I stayed at a new host family for the weekend because my normal host parents went to a dance comp 700kms away...( They came second!!! Best result they've ever had the competition was hard and they earnt the biggest trophy yet!)
The new family was very nice with the mother (Jeena) and one of the daughters fluent in many languages...I felt at home because they have 4 children! I also watched some muumi cartoons (for children- Sawa you'd be pleased to know that they're in a kind of manga style...)
Went dancing at an authentic Finnish party! Great fun...I danced for about three hours: the first time ever for me (Irish dancing not included!)...I managed to earn some strange looks...
Did two speeches about Australia, myself and Finland
at school on Friday... I think they went down well but Finns don't react the same way as australians so it's hard to tell...
I showed them some pictures...the Australian ones are for the benefit of Finns reading this:
A few Of my home
Hobbies
Aussie beach and water
And of course the fam
Finnish excitement!
I would love advice on whether or not I should show the same pictures to my rotary club next week on tuesday!

Very nice pictures, and loved to read all your stories. I know your father from work and my son is also living in Finland , actually in Turku, and he said he would love to show you around if you get there again. His name is Miika Langille and you can get his telephone number from your dad.
Enjoy your whole trip
Eeva-Liisa Langille
Kiitoksia paljon :)
