Again I spent some holiday days in Helsinki. I went by Onnibus.com for 2x 1 euro, and the trip took around 2,5 hours. The double decker had air conditioning, plug under every seat and wifi onboard. Of course for this price on had to reserve the ticket weeks earlier, but this is still rather…

Seriously, it is worth having a 3-year-old-friend in _cold, distantpeople, no interpersonal warmth whatsoever_ (this is really starting to bug me :( )... I came home from a three day trip and when he saw me he was just so ooooverwhelmed of happiness of seeing me again... Constantly hugging me and…

I remember my newbie days and asking myself all scared: is this ever going to become a routine? Now it seems like those days never existed....      ...   Wish I never hurt you. 

Today was a very nice day, rather different from the others, and not just because I had a day off. The mum, the boys and me left the house at 9.30 in the morning and it was already around 17*C warm! The days before around this time it was only around 12*C so I had high hopes. We were heading to the…

Still no own computer but I am having some quiet time, hopefully it won´t end before I have this finished. Today it is summer and a rather relaxed day, in the morning I had to vacuum and then look after the kids, also got my first pocket money, happyhappy! Really, today it is warm and the sun…

My laptop is broken so won't write anything big here, just posting some pictures, today I spent an hour in the forest. Sometimes work is tiringt, and a lot, and gotta get up early and adapt to children who think you are their slave, but if from 12h work I get that one hour free walking in the forest…

I am getting some requests what to write about, like for example I should write about food, which I will do when I have more material. Keep sending such topic requests, they help me, they inspire me, and it's nice to feel like 'serving' my audience a bit and you can find out what you want. The…

Today it was a nice day again. In the morning I was very exhausted and forgot to do the half of the morning routine but it all got sorted out in the end. By the way routines, cleaning poo from the potty and cleaning ass is becoming a normal part of it. Keep strong, Vica!  So today morning (not…

Au pair's day, how I see it in these days. Until yesterday morning I was not alone, the ex au pair helped a lot, yesterday was the first half day and today the first complete day that I am alone. I have to tell I am extremely thankful for helping me both with practical stuff and also…

Seems like I have some free time to write and it would be pretty much about time to do so, so here we go. FYI, I opened a tumblr: thisisfinland.tumblr.com , there will be some funfacts and stuff like that about Finland. The blog continues as it was, in this diary likey style but I hope to get a…

My journey started at 15.57 in Komárom when I got on the train to Budapest, then took a metro, another one, and a bus, all the way to the airport, with a 20 kg suitcase being there all the time. At the airport we had lots of time and we discovered a praying room. It's nice there, silence, and calm…
