I was supposed to write every week...

Dear me and everyone else,

Prague
on one wonderful monday, as illogical as it sounds, was the first sunny day in a reeeeally long time. So all those who  ever told me that the spring is going to come early in Prague can politely go f*** themselves. We don't have sun here at all And when it ones comes out, you enjoy the most of it. (Yes, appearantly it's true that only Finns can talk about the weather like it REALLY is the most fascinating topic.)
Right from the moment of waking up, me, and four latinos (yes, again, what's wrong with me) climbed up the Petrin Hill halfway right after visiting the John Lennon Wall, had our lovely picnic and wondered back to the city pretty happy. Next thing we see is KFC, a god sent gift from the heavens!! I was about to throw away my french fries when all Mexicans looked at me with huge eyes: "Are you not gonna eat that??!??!"....."No....?Im fine thanks, you can have them." Whooooooooz momomommmm 2 seconds, and they were gone. The attack of the latinos on french fries like I've never seen before!
The day continued sunny and wonderful just like in movies. You wonder around in central European city, having hot chocolates and shooting pigeons....ah, jealous already??? Well, I had my movie day, and can honestly say, it was one of its kind!

Karlovy Vary

After my wonderful monday, it is time to go back in reality, school, homework, tasks.... how boring. But you know what helps --> a trip, AGAIN! The city I visited is right here in Czech Republic called Karlovy Vary, the city of spas and James Bond glamour. As part of the city, all people seem to be walking like in a deep dream. Then it's your turn to go to relax in a pool, and there you are one of the wondering zombies. Though the city is completely Russianilized, the buildings, springs make it all worth going... for one day.

Regensburg

As my short-term memory is definitely better than long-term, something very not important happened between Karlovy Vary and my next trip. Probably some school shit again. Nevertheless the next trip I took was back in Germany, but this time it was Bayern baby!! I got to meet my first exchange student from back in Finland in Regensburg. That's where she lives (for those who do not understand my english). Seeing a friend back form 4 years was amazing, seeing a typical Bavarian city --> full of surprises! In the middle of the  hills, just like that, there stands a huge Walhalla, a Greek type building. I repeat, in Germany. Go google it if you still don't get why I was amazed. Or then it's just me thinking every fly in this world is amazing. Another thing I got to learn is that Bavarian people have their own freaking language. It's not German. Second thing is that of course they have an entire day devoted to the oh so holy beer. So I will need to come back there for the beer festivals that will take place in May, just to see how these people devote 2 weeks of their life to beer.

London

Now because I realised at the end of April that my time in Prague is running out there should be no weekends wasted. I was asked to go to London. What do I say? "Hell yeah!". London calling. London the royal highness. London the everything. Now this trip had a great beginning:
  • Book the flights on Monday for the 24th April
  • Make yourself believe 24th is Thursday
  • Print ONLY the ticket from London to Prague and make yourself believe it's the ticket from Prague to London
  • Go to Prague airport accidentally barely on time
  • Pass all check-ins, securities and other airport people with the wrong ticket
  • Appear to the gate just to hear you have the wrong ticket and that my flight was indeed on 24th Wednesday!
  • Feel free to feel like an idiot!!
So, eventually I arrived to London on Friday night in  a hostel where apparently peeing in bed is just fine! In spite of the rocky beginning, the city managed to charm me completely. It was more than I imagined and one needs a looooooooot of time to explore the city. Plus planning won't hurt. The nature of my trip was more walking around and getting the feeling of the city. Sure Sherlock and Baker street were unavoidable. But the rhythm of the city is pretty fast, taking the tube can make you insane, but STILL you love the city. Even Arsenal stadium was visited, just outside but still,  (I'm  a hockey girl, so this was a big step for me) and the atmosphere just sweeps you away with all the charming Britts 50+. So London will be calling me again!!

Back in Prague now final exams are waiting, but so are many other cities. Also, an update of my future skydiving will be here! Cause I need to cross some stuff out from my bucket list!!
