Hmm, tonights been a bit of a slow evening. Which is nice for a change actually. I've spent a lot of the time listening to the old logs of "Sounds of Europe". Is nice to here me and Rach joking around, I miss the fun we had doing the show. Listening to Finnish radio now, trying to seek inspiration for the new improved show in a years time.
Monday night we went to play lazer quest/quaszar/megazone - whatever you want to call it. You know the game where you run around with a lazer gun and shot your opponents trying to destroy their base. Basically, a paintball without the bruises. Was good fun, I came 20/29 but I had a laugh and no one was being over-competitive. After that we headed to the beach to sit and drink cider. I also had a paddle in the sea. Wasnt too cold and the sunset was just breathtaking.
Tuesday night I went to experience my first sauna. I didnt get the chance to go with the group last week, but instead a friend who is staying here for the whole year and so is living in a different place with its own sauna invited me over to try the traditional sauna. Her flatmate is a regular sauna user, and taught us proper sauna technique. Was good fun. Was quite refreshing, not the sauna part but the running outside into the cold evening air bit - can understand why people roll around in the snow now.
Then of course, wednesday was the trip to Porvoo, which I've already written up. Today after classes, I had a walk over to the rock-church again to get a glimpse inside. Was awesome. Looks completely different to other churches in that theres no stain-glass windows, and the walls are rough rock. But then it still has an aisle, candles and a big organ so still recognisable as a church. Apparently the acoustics are fantastic and I can imagine they are. Here are some of my rubbish photos.
