27.11. The journey to the land of snow

 

DUDES this is me greeting you guys 27.11. at 00:30am, talking about my flu and being excited about my upcoming adventure - working as an elf in Lapland :D AND being conserned about how in the world I'm going to be able to fit into the train with my mega backbag!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Luckily I did fit into all of the trains (I left Turku at 7am, had to change two times and then take a bus for the rest of the journey!), there weren't SO many people there :) I could happily ever after dream away and sleep after some sleepless nights organizing all kinds of stuff for the journey!

Changing the train in Oulu there was a man laughing friendly at my cross-country skis at the station - "well look at your skis, you're optimistic aren't you? 


Haven't you happened to pay attention to any weather forecasts lately?" :D He was so friendly and helped me in Rovaniemi to get all my stuff from the train to the bus :) Jeiii! I sent a message from the bus to my boss that I am so so happy and glad that I'm coming there and that this really is a dream come true for me! ^^

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived in Levi at about 8pm and my boss was there and hugged me! I felt so welcomed! :) First afterwards I realized like "wait a second, we never met before... And we hugged already!" It was great! :) They had been waiting to see a Moomin or a monkey so they were a bit disappointed when there was only a "normal person" coming out of the bus ;) AND there's SNOW, a lot of it (greetings to my jealous sister ;)) This night I'm going to spend in this luxurous hotel room with upstairs and downstairs and a sauna! (not going to have this much space after the first night though :D)

I'm so happy to be here! Tomorrow the elf education begins - can't wait!! :) Good night you all, take care!
