Finnish Life Lessons. Part 2.

11. Moi is not pronounced like 'I' in French. It is pronounced "moy" and is a greeting like "hi".
12. The top seats in a sauna are much hotter than the lower seats.
13. It can be quite entertaining when someone who hasn't been on a bike for 10+ years attempts to ride a bike which is too big for them.
14. Nordic walking is all the rage. Let's see if it will catch on anywhere else in the world. (Google pictures!)
15. The person who invented curtains is brilliant... I really need to get some.

My rez is slowly becoming a bit more homey. I'm now unpacked and have put up a few decorations. My roommate and I have created a makeshift dining room in our small common space. It's been great to have someone to eat with and talk to.
I went to my first Finnish sau na yesterday. It was quite an expeience. The lake isn't too cold yet which was a bonus.
Talk to you soon!
