Helsinki : Interesting or not Interesting?

Well was quite busy with some work.Initial days in a company is difficult for everyone.Needs to know the kind of work,right person to communicate,get used to the work culture.. everything you can think of, there would be a ten question marks coming up out of your head..if they are not ,then probably they are coming out of your peer's head.Not sure if I could pen down every interesting happened to ma life,but as my dear friend says.. there are words to express,but sometimes words are too short to express...

For those who asked me queries abt the hot chicks out here,here goes the brief discription.. they are beautiful,glowing red cheeks,blue eyes,(cant tell abt hair color,they are of different colours).. friendly,polite,softspoken.You can enjoy spending time with them..and there is always a big BUT.. some dont bath,some have piercing and u cant imagine where u can see one,some wear black clothes,black shades,black eye liner,black hair,black nails,black boots(its like seeing a ghost in a black and white movie), or there would those ones who put so much make ups to their face u get scared seeing how cruel they could make their innocent face..but in short they are HOT !!

After 2 months,the question still remains.Is helsinki really interesting?I have not seen still a single soul in this building.The only thing I know is that my neighbour is : two women ,by their voices( atleast one ,the other voice could be of television.. or can both be television characters?)Everytime I hear the door of my neighbor being opened,I ran to peep through my door to check how hot those girls could be,or they can be two old women,but i don't expect a mother and daughter to stay together..The other day I met a finish guy who said he was moving out from his home soon as his father got retired and is not giving space in his home..the same would be with all foreigners.I guess only Indians here would be really interested to go home to see their parents.

Initial days were so good with different things to see (now winter has become so cold that all girls cover their body :P).Everyone is so tall and fair and silky hair.Everything was new.Now everything seems to be boring..looking for a mallu for past 2 mths just to say "Namaskaram" ( Hi ). and this week I found 4( one who joined here recently,one in office, one coming to play badminton,one on the roadside accidently)These days I just look through the glasses to the opposite building to see if I can see any soul.I have seen rooms which are lighten fr the whole night ,but not a single lifel.Unless you get a good company,its going to be difficult living here.You can enjoy sometime with friends but if they are not of the same frequency(courtesy : REC friends),then problem can start.Once my peer offered me a drive till my home,all the routes looked alike to me and there were so many trafic signals that we lost the way.After 40 mts ,we reached the office back and he asked me to go home by my own.He was sure that he would never reach home if I am going to find my place with his car :). I thanked him for givin me a wonderful journey all through Helsinki.Thats the height of boredom here....Once I saw a procession (against spray painting,people have strikes for weird reasons here) and I was with them for a long time.Well if I am not bored now,why would you think I am still in front of the computer writing some blog stuffs ??

To get rid of boredom and to save something,my roomie and myself decided to cook.We didnt know anything to cook(not even how to boil rice).International calls were made to home, calls to friends home were made and finally we could make things.If you don't feel cooking, use tortillas(chapatis) or cabbage,which is easy to cut, or some curry in pressure cooker,or have food outside(just 12.5 euros per dinner).There are some difficulty in cutting potatoes,carrots,.. so we decided to buy processed vegetables in packets which again gave us some more time to think wht could we do to avoid boredom.One day,I decided to have a walk around our apartment and found so many people walking through a street which I completely neglected.Out of curiosity,I took the route and found that was the most happening road near my place : two pubs, one party hall,one sex shop , one private striptease.I should not misjudge Helsinki so soon,there could be more interesting things out there....

Thats how I thought of joining Jolly Dragon.(http://www.jollydragon.net/index.php).Its a site where people of different countries come together to have some fun.They organise events.(Open invites of the site link shows the weekly events).Every Wednesday there is freshers party and one fine wednesday I decided to go to Jolly Dragon.Initially I felt awkward,but people over there were friendly and I chated with them till 11, 3 hrs continuous.I felt so happy meeting JD's.Every JD meeting of mine had been unique,once the discussion was abt Indian History and culture ,the other time it was about Extra terrestrial porn.The happy part is everyone knows abt India more than we do.Once I was walking through one of the bearutiful lakes in Helsinki and I met an old couple who were boozing.They asked if I was from the country where Indira Gandhi lived!! I felt so happy that even when Indians forget about the country,those old couples who didnt know English well knew abt Indira Gandhi.So far I have been to a chess tournament, snooker event(people was amazed abt the way I played,seldom would they know that I was working less,but playing more in my previous company) ,badminton event and salsa event(ma bad luck,it got canceled that day due to vacation..lookin forward for the classes).

I hAve been to seaurosareen,a forest as told by finnish people.Well I could see some grasslands ,and a couple of trees.. nothing much.ITs no where near to Indian forests I have seen.oh yeah,there was a small iron age miniature world depicted there inside forest, where people would be wearing animal clothes,spinning wheel,making tools,etc .It was a kind of way to show the finish history(They have history starting from 700 AD,I guess).Anyways that was the only thing which was interesting,but the place is so beautiful that you would want to spend the whole day there.Inspired by the first trip I decided to go to Stockholm, Sweden by the cheapest but most interesting means of transport : Ship. It has always been my dream to travel by ship (titanic inspired me except the tragedy).Had to book a cabin and not everyone is travel enthusiastic.So it took hell of time to find 3 more who are ready to travel.We booked the biggest cruise to Stockholm,decided to go on Saturday and return on Sunday.Heard Stockholm looks like Helsinki(all European countries look the same) with more population density.As I have seen high population density before in bglore,I was not much interested to see the population o'er there.One day in Stockholm was more than enough.After all cruse journey is what needed to be enjoyed.Well ,being quite puctual I strted frm my home nearly 70 mts before the ship leaves,and i was supposed to reach there 45 mts before the ship leaves.. had to run a lot to take the ship on time.. we were the last to enter the ship on that journey.The ship was so big,and we took the bottom most cabin( 187 euros two way after getting Nokia employee concession,here you would get so many concessions like this if you work for Nokia,after all Finland economy is highly dependent on Nokia shares).Drinks,private shows,fashion show with a modern dance theme,3 pubs,dances,discos,karoke,
shops,casino's everything was there what you needed.you can spend money for whatever you like,enjoy the way you wanted,If getting bored,come out to the deck to see the calm ocean everywhere in the beautiful moonlight or have a hair dressing or a sunflower oil bath in the hot sauna or swimming pool.Fridays and Saturdays will be the crowded days and I enjoyed the max.(Being publicly posted contents,neither am I not going much into the dressing style,nor into the drunken women dance styles.)Well I thought Indians were the only one s who would go mad and disturb girls in pubs/disco's.But now I have the impression that wherever it is man has the same behavior.But all I could say abt the Cruise journey was Awesome.

Stockholm was beautiful(but Helsinki is more cleaner ),the scenery was far beautiful than the photos I have attached.Probably I can add more photos to my public album.We saw Vaasa Museum,It has only a big ship which was recovered from ocean after it got drowned as it was highly ornamented with a bad design.There were some old style dancing happening there.There was even a multimedia show which said how the enquiry went after the ship sunk .After coming out of that museum I realized ,India too should start a museum with all those rockets/satellites which fall down because of lack of design.It can be made a good public revenue.Then we visited the Royal Palace,which was as beautiful as the Mysore Palace.The ornaments,halls were all made as the same way as it was and we were supposed to store our belongings in a store room there.I met with a small accident in my middle finger in the royal place.Or u could say,my royal blood just flew over the palace !! After coming out we saw the guard changing ceremony outside the palace.Usually it happens very rare with all the band,troups and soldiers.We were lucky enough to see all those at that single day.Walking through the narrow streets,lake sides we saw so many beautiful scenes.Even Nobel building was there.All four were not so keen to enter that museum,so we just took some photos and moved out.Return Journey was also quite beautiful,but less people made it boring at some times.

Went for a company outing yesterday where we were given choices to select a sport event from Archery,wall climbing, bawling.. being adventurous I took archery.It was quite nice doing something which u havnt done before.. I was always always getting my aim towards right of eyes bull.So next time when I aimed,I did it on my left side(red mark) and it hit correctly on center(yellow mark) nd I became the second highest top scorer with 27 pts.. :) .The top scorer(29 pts) was an experienced shooter.

So Helsinki seems to be interesting at times,not sure how long it would be..probably we should try hard to make it interesting even after wearing one pair of shirt+sweater(yet another easy way to show yourself fat).Looking forward for the mild snowfall which could happen on coming wednesday (by the weather forecasting sites) and the election time is at its peak here.There are so many candidates and campaignes are awesome.They come to u and say to vote.distribute cards,bananas,bags,food.apart from Indian politicans, there are a lot of young candidates(one is a law student,other is a girl with green hair, guy with weird specs) .. competition here seems to be healthy.There are even carnivals (fun rides,roller coaster rides) happening here some days..

Today indeed was an eventful day.. played badminton and was not bad in it ..(prob others were bad today.) ,ran up an elevator which goes down.. and falling on it twice,hit an old aunt accidentally.. though i said sorry,she called all my forefathers.. my bus ticket didnt work for some odd reason and the bus driver gave me a cold look( in excess to the cold climate outside),just reached a shop on time(that is 10 mts before it closes) and bought winter shoes(well the first shoes which we selected turned out to be ladies shoes..its very difficult to understand which one is for whom.. no stickers,no labels. :( ) ,had some fun in a friends home.. thats a typical weekend day..and going to sleep now .by day light saving we are supposed to change the watch time one hr back(now its 3.5 hrs back of IST),which means we can sleep more time tonight.(BAD news: Sun sets at 6 which turns to be 5 from today)

Check out my album for photos(wth captions).I had been to Chineese and Finish Prayers here in church.Had been to Opera.. will send all those photos in the link. Prob this wud be the last blog I mite be sending.. I am getting bored writing blogs :),prob u too are getting bored reading them.

Helsinki - Finnish Taste

Hi Everybody
As expected I was quite busy with some work in my new office.For the reason I didnt get much time to write.Well today my boss is on leave.. :)
Its been raining here for some days.. i do get nostalgic abt days in Kerala where it rains everyday.. the situation here now is no different.It rains(prob u can call it drizzling coz i can go out without umbrella too) almost all time.Natives use umbrella and have strted buying big shoes(which would protect the feet from snow ).. am just waiting for the snowfall to come!

Speaking of natives,there are some things here which u cud say are quite finnish in nature.
1. Finnish coffee:
I was offered this on my first day to office."Its a well known coffee here.people like it very much" - those were the words of the finnish person who greeted me in office.I just siped it.whaaa... It tastes so bad !! Then rest of my first half in office was to find out a restroom where I can throw that coffee to washbasin.Later I realised that only natives like them,but I just found out a new way to drink it.Use honey along with cofee.It tastes really good and you wouldnt get the taste of coffee at all..

2. Sauna : For better understanding of sauna go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_sauna
To make it short ,its just a steam bathing method done in finland to heat your body from cold climate.People take it to refresh your mind.Normally you can stand for 10 mts but of course it depends on the temperature.I just wanted to taste the finnish culture and decided to take it .In eurohostel ( company accomodation ) we have a free public sauna and private charged sauna.I decided to go for public one as I dont know how to operate it ,and of course it was free of cost... yeah reaching there I realised the region where sauna happens would be very small where three people could sit without touching each other.Rest of the whole room was partioned for showers/toilets facility.You would feel embarrassed sitting naked with other guys!! to make it worse they would talk to you casually about work,climate and discuss all the things under the Sun.So I was sitting in between a russian and a german guy talking about the rock show which was happening that weekend! But the sauna feeling is refreshing..So i decided to go for it for the second time, and this time there were 2 guys from Spain.I hardly sat for 5 mts in the hot sauna (those guys raised the temperature very high and my ass was on that hot wooden plate ) and another guy came in.. I walked of the place as I didnt want to sit there touching some guy!!

3. Language :
People do know english well but everthing written is in either swedish or finnish. I was wondering how do they pronounce ä and a.a should be always pronounced as in "amma" , "aanna" and ä should be like in "ae" .. So they write "a apple" and "ä boy".well å is just swedish letter for ä.Still speaking to natives is a prob. I cant speak (till now) as they say it,esp place names,so we prob write them down and ask for routes.Later I realised that there is no finish word which uses the letter Y,instead they use J.. which means "Jo" shuld be said as "yo"."Kathajanokaja" should be pronounced as "Kathayaaaanokyaaa".My teammate had a nameplate "Jani" and was called "Yaani".That solved a lot of problems.I guess Indians prefer to speak a bit fast.Once it so happened that I asked something to a guy in a shop,and he replied "Am sorry, do you speak German? I cant understand a word of it" :(
Here I have to be lil slow to make them understand what i mean.(Somthing like the chineese I have seen do ,they think for the appr english word for a while and then speak it out).Understanding their accent is also difficult but you can manage it.My new home is in "Poorvonkattu Street" and none would understand if I say the place name.Once I lost my way to home while roaming and none was able to understand the street name.Finally I had to twist my tongue a lil bit to get that accent :-)

4. Cars :
Well as far as I know,abroad there should be so many good cars.finland is no different.You can see Maruti 800,Maruthi Swift and Skoda Fabia( both which run in inidan roads) to Limo,BMW,Ford.I can see 1960 model old cars to latest new cars.Even taxis here are BMW cars.

5. House doors :
To protect from cold climate they have heavy doors,but now i realised that everywhere there are 2 doors.The two heavy doors would help you protect from cold climate.Well the temperature has been reducing each day by 1 or .5 degrees.the least which I saw was 9 degrees celsius.

6.Pets:
Dogs are the soulmates of Natives.I have seen so many breeds ,cross breeds of dogs.Some are so big (till my chest) while someother are so small that they would be running fast to be in pace with their masters.)Dogs are not house guards.People have pets here to get out of their boredom or to recover from their split up with partner.They take out dogs everyday for an outing.So be it trams,metros..everywehre you can see a person taking a dog.The peer next to my cube even brings his dog to office everyday.Dog helps him to open the security doors and will be always there with him.Well dont worry.. they wont bite you.Even if you put your hand inside its mouth I dont think they will bite.Dogs are given a special training where they are taught to behave.Even if the food is in front of them,unless the master says to have it ,they wont even move out of their place.I havent heard a dog barking since I came here.Sometimes I wonder if they really know how to bark.Once my friend while getting out of tram hit a small dog(as it was so small to be visible in that busy tram),but it didnt even bark!! Speaking of other pets,after this long I have seen only one lady carrying a cat! Pigeons and doves will always be near you when you walk the streets.They are not afraid of anyone.You can feed them if u want.I have even seen squirrels eating food from hand.

7.Work
People work only from 8 to 4 or 5.After that they go out to do shopping Coz during weekends,even shops are closed(or mite open for hardly 5-6 hrs).That means no shopping malls work on weekends.My id card can open doors only till 6,which means my work ends by 6,which also means if I dont get out of office by 6 I am going to have a tough time inside the building waiting for some people having access to get me out.I didnt know this and on my first day,I had to struggle finding a security person to get me out of the office premises.

I've always loved to see fullmoon and walk in moonlight.The other day I saw one,but it was so big that initially I thought it was a street lamp post which was ON.But still it was beautiful..

These are the things which I could write in one day.Prob I will attach some photos this time. As I am the only one taking the photos,I mite not be visible in them :)

Helsinki Week 1

Hello Everyone
As I really got inspired by the comments which I received from my previous mail,I thought i'll pen down some more incidents which happened in this week.Well I am grateful to God for this week because it teached me many things. yes u got it ..
I NEED TO START LEARNING HOW TO COOK

We have our breakfast from the Eurohostel I stay.I started investigating the new things which we get in there.I was not bad in finding the good food.There was hot dog,apple and orange juice,crisped biscuits and some more items whose name I dont know.They have a delicious breakfast for 6.50 euros. Saying of euros, almost all Indians think in the same way, before spending money they would just think 6.5 euros means 6.5 * 64 = around 400 Rs ..( i dont know the exact amount,if i knew prob I wouldnt be working in helsinki rite now,I would have been in one of those IIM 's ) damn.. 400 Rs for breakfast !! Then comes the next inner revelation .. Do I have to eat it or look out for 1 euro bread available from market ?? No offense, but thats how humans atleast Indians are born to be.As it was free for us (payed by company we decided to have them.. this would definetely store fat in our body ,which can be used by the body later when we have to buy breakfast for ourself.. something like a Polar Bear :)

There is only one Indian shop here where u wud see indian chapathi's and so many indian stuffs.so its kind of hang out place for all Indians, and I was happy to meet a couple of Indians there.. finally :) .We strted cookin some stuffed parathaas.well understanding the mechanism was quite tough.they have supply which can be used to heat up the round coils .You should just use them to cook food , which would mean less smoke.I heard that once someone tried to cook it our way which created lot of smoke triggering the fire alarm calling the police .
Cooking was not that bad... the only prob was it took me 15 mts to heat the coil and for the second paratha I had to wait for 20 mts.. ?? Further investigation led to the conclusion that the supply was timer activated,timer would stop the supply.. figuring out things in helsinki is the biggest pain!! and if u think u cud ask someone .. believe me its not that easy.. coz u wudnt find anyone.. the other day I was in search of food market nearby.. it took me 5 mts to figure out an old woman ! to make things worse she didnt understand english!! or did she mean that she cudnt understand my English !!! anyways, I had to walk 3 more mts to get the next person.People here say its nice that u meet a guy on the road, coz as winter starts it mite feel that u r the only person in this whole world.Everyone would be in a hurry to get inside the house.Whenever I meet an Indian I would stop by to see if he is a malayalee.. still I think am the first one to land his foot here.

Last Friday, I was amazed to see the road full of people ( heard there was a rock show going on ) ,It felt so good coz I had always felt that this country has just enuf people in it,that if u put them separate and ask them to walk it would take atleast 3-5 mts for a person to meet the other.well asking for routes,we would always make it a point to ask it to girls :P .( Based on statistics,we came to the conclusion that finnish people have a glazing in their face,as if they are always fresh.We just had a prob with that conclusion.. all girls are finnish :) ) we decided to roam around.. excited to see crowded streets.. hair color and piercing were the major attractions .. there were red,blue,green and even a mix of colors apart from the normal,shaved,half shaved(like brahmins , I was told that thats the latest fashion here) shaved on some parts,curly, and so different.. there were people who pierced the whole face,only near eyes,tongue(my team mate has one on his tongue).. tattoes in whatever place u can think of.. well i met a person who has some tatoo on her inner lip !!To understand the sex of the person is very difficult here... long hair doesnt mean the person is a girl, body shape doesnt mean the person is a girl... and to make things worse they have piercing nd hair colors ... talking seem to be the only alternative ...nd the other day I met a girl who asked me if I could give her a penny so that she could go home ( People here are very honest,they wouldnt go in a train if they dont have tickets ) She was so cute and sexy and of course glazing that I gave money to her.Well later I found out that my balance is only 1 euro and I just gave her the precious money I had.

Using Machines are difficult.... Cleaning clothes was the biggest task.. The instructions in the machine were written in finnish,and we had to struggle hard to find out how to wash the clothes + u'll have to pay 2€ for it..so once the clothes gets washed u have to use dryer( lang prob again )most of the system is computerised,you pay the money and get the service. you cant blame them,well if people is less u will have to use machines :P . Opening dorrs were also quite difficult.You see a door and u wudnt know if it opens inward or outward just by lookin at them.they are so heavy (you have to use lot of energy to open it up) and always u wud pull on both sides to make sure that door is not locked.its quite energy wastage :) But the public transportation is really good.you can use busses,trams,underground metros,railway trains to llink between places.

Speaking of work,I havent strted any as I was busy looking for a flat.We have temp accommodation only till Sept 1st.So get a flat or lay ur bed in road.The system is quite different here.Use internet to find a place. http://www.oikotie.fi/aptsearch_forsale_filter?exit=search--> a good finnish site..well it helped .. after calling nearly 20 owners u ll know what each finnish word mean,but to pronounce each street and address.. ( its a pain in ass , well dont worryabt my lang .. my teammates use to say the words porn,fuck say 5 times a day.. well grown in this sense !) and finally they would understand it and would say "Sorry we forgot to take that advertisement back,that house is booked". .. Believe me its not so easy to get a flat here at this term when students join universities here for summer . nd the natives just like us would not prefer foreigners.After all these odds ,if u make to a public showing(all applicants would come to see the flat at the same time) ,nd if u like the apartment,you will have to fill a form(that too in finnish).Next the ball is in Owner,s court.He decides on whom he should pick.I have beento nearly 19 showings in 3 days.Getting the path is quite easy.EAch street has a name.All houses with odd number (1,3,5) will be on one side of the lane and the even numbered houses would be on the other side of the lane,Finding path from one station to another was done through internet (ytv.fi) and they would show u the quickest route in the specified time interval.Well initially it was difficult to find a place,and as Indians we were late .Show was at 5,we reached there at 5 and was stuck outside the apartment as we didnt know how to open that door.Finally when we reached there by 5:10 ,the owner said,the show is over.It seem people here come right on time.If the show is at 6,they would be there by 5:30 and whoever comes first would talk to the owner in finnish well so that the owner would chose them.Later we understood this and learned some key words.. Tervetuloa for welcome and Kittos for thankyou .But we dont know how to pronounce it as they say it.Once I said Kittos to a guy and he said " Sorry ".

Accidently today I got my flat.I was in search of another flat which had a showing at 1300.Gaining experience I reached there at 1230,and suddenly a lady came over me and said " if u have come here for the flat please follow me".I obeyed.Well later I came to know that she was looking for another indian who was supposed to be there by 12:30.Being an Indian he was late.. poor chap he was new to the town. Luckily I got the apartment and hope to get in there by next thursday. A Pure coincidence which was good, as if God wanted me to take that !
Speaking of Religion ,here are the words of my peer " The main religion here is Lutherinism, in real language which means ,No religion.People think abt christianity during Xmas.Generally they dont give a fuck...History goes like this... " (yeah finally i got the " from the keyboard ) and he went on and on .Well he knows a lot abt history.History abt why people here hate Sweedish,why religion is not so imp,the culture different causes.. But I would say that God exist and thats the reason why I met a finish lady and she gave me her apartment for lease. as u say in bollywood shtyle

God tujse Great Ho

Helsinki Day 1

Hello Everyone
I reached Helsinki yesterday and is today in the office.I just thought I'd share my experience in the place.

My flight was from Cochin to Mumbai ( Air deccan ) and later Mumbai to Helsinki ( Finnair ).
Though I had 24kg ( check in luggage ) + 13 kg ( hand baggage ) which exceeded the limit of both airways ,I was fortunate enuf to take my luggage without spending a single penny( first time travellers always get this luxury ! ).Journey was good. seeing movies,eating food.
well didnt have much sleep in mumbai , coz i was almost sure that I wouldnt wake up for the flight if i sleep in the airport.
finally reached helsinki..I had to meet another person from India.We decided to meet up in airport.Well he didnt have international roaming facility.. so I had to roam the whole airport ( nice place ) to find out the guy.and we reached eurohostel(temp accommodation).

People are quite friendly.you see anyone and they would say *hi*(I cant find double inverted commas in this keypad.. this keypad is lot different from our keypad.. it has three characters in one key and has some special characters like ä ö ¤ § and even a key which would show ½ .I have no idea why that is used for.)Well its little difficult to talk to them.. coz they have a , ä , å and unlike us they use these three letters too..Eurohostel has kitchen,sauna(havent been there .. heard its steam bathinh) and a common bathroom.. People are so friendly that one guy who was taking shower too said *hi* to me.. I guess he didnt have bad intentions.Breakfast is good. Rusk,Bread,Jam,Cheese,corn flakes,hotdog,orange juice,milk,tea,coffee,egg(
mutta puzhungiyathu) and so many things which i havent touched till now.
they have a heavy breakfast.. little for lunch and nothing for dinner.

there are so many first things which I saw/ did ..
1. the room unlocks only if ur room card gets inserted in a medium pace.neither too slow nor too fast.
2. Using toilet paper as there is no water in toilet :(
3. Checking for Zebra crosses to cross the road,
4. Taking right always..Be in the elevator.
5. taking tickets from automated counters.. believe me there are a lot of steps to get a single ticket.
6. taking skype calls and they are costly too.
7. Black guy joined with us too.. seeing a person in IT for the first time.
8.preparing coffee from the coffee maker.. it has some interesting adjustments which i have no idea how to do it till now.i prefer drinking milk.. in that case i dont have to do this circus...
9.Lift : I have to show my id card in a sensor and press floor 8 . else the lift wont take me to the desired place !!
10. Shortest metro ever : use this to reach a place 3 mts away. My office is 3mts from central railway station.

Climate is good. sunny .. sometimes drizzling.. 23 C .well interesting part is I woke up at 6 on the first day ( sun has already risen) and i slept around 10 pm the same day..(sun has not set till then).So long day...otherwise its fine.

Last but not least.. babes.. most of them good looking, friendly in nature and for them its summer.. so they dont have winter clothes on.. well it seems most of them prefer sun bathing.

thats it for now.. have to find out houses now.. and it seems we have to struggle. so many coming now for studies, and then house owner to should like us.

cya later.
