Hei kaikki ihanat opiskelijat!

Mitä kuuluu?
Here I am watering my flower and thinking of you all. I have seen a lot of photos of you: in university, in Suomenlinna, in sauna-party, Onnela, Porvoo....and I can see how wonderful time you had together. That´s great!

But now life goes on and soon you`ll have new friends. You just have to go and talk to the finns, now as you can do it in Finnish. : )

I am a little bit busy these days; we are going to spend this winter in S. It is a small place near to Lappeenranta (in Karjala), which is my hometown. As M. already knows, the Finns use to say that we are taking the rest of the Karjala back bottle by bottle. Well, this Karjala-beer does not taste so good but everything has it´s price! ; )

So, hopely we are going to have sunny autumn with beautiful ruska. And if it´s rainy, remember: SISULLA PERKELE!!

Sibelius, sauna ja sisu...they are made in Finland. (And of course Joulupukki!)

Have a great time in Finland!

Moi ja nähdään!
Auf Wiedersehen, Tsüss!
Dobrý vecer!

Au revoir!
Arrivederci, ciao!

Hejdå!
Hasta luego!

Anne
