Trip to Finland and my new home

In the plane, I had some beautiful views… The first one, just after the take off in Geneva, just when we got out of the clouds : Beautiful view on the Alpen…

Take off at 11:20am, the Mont Blanc !!!

The second one was the landing in Helsinki, and the sunset, a huge red big ball was looking at me… you can’t really see that red, cause I took the picture with my mobile phone, but I hope I will have some more an other day.

Landing at 5:00pm, Helsinki

Oh and yea, I found another game for you: What was the temperature when I landed in Helsinki on Thursday afternoon?

I tried to wave at Suzan and Alex from the sky when I flew above them (almost for Suzan) but it was a bit cloudy so I don’t think they saw me… 🙁

After a long way (4hours and a half) in a bus to go to Rauma, I enventually arrived and met Sanna, who picked me up at the bus-stop.

I was really tired so I visited quickly the flat, and went to bed and had a really deep sleep.

On Friday, we had to do some paperwork, like going to the police and the council to registered myself like living and working in Finland, and we went shopping for a bit of food and for equipment for my room : lights, carpet, and tried to find a bedside table.

So here we are, you can now visit the flat :

My room and my small bed...

My room will be equiped next week with a real table, a small cupbord, curtains, a bed side table (for now it’s just a box)…

The backyard, will be great in summer !

And the last one is the best :

The Sauna in the Flat...

I tried it yesterday, it was great, I think I will like to have that just in my flat 😉

You can see more pictures on Picasa, here !!

On Friday night, I met my boss, while drinking beer and lakritsi shot (it’s made with liquorice melted in vodka… I ll have to try to do some !)

  1. Good to see your place, it looks nice !
    Of course I will play (even if you haven’t announced who won the last game… and what we win) : -7.5°C
    Qui dit mieux ?

    1. I am waiting for the last game that everybody had a chance to play… till monday ! and what the winner will win is… I have no idea for now… surprise 😉

  2. bon, alors lĂ , il faut vraiment que je m’y remette? c’est bien ça? tu es gentille, tu utilises un langage simple accessible aux cerveaux un peu fatiguĂ©s… tempĂ©rature Helsinki, euh, -20°? pfff! on en fait autant ici, d’abord…Et oui, c’est bien de fonctionnaliser ta chambrette, mais c’est sĂ»r, la bronzette dans le jardin, c’est pas pour tout de suite. Tiens, il fait assez chaud pour prendre l’apĂ©ro dehors les soirs d’Ă©tĂ©? dans ce domaine, il semble que ton chef t’initie dĂ©jĂ  aux spĂ©cialitĂ©s locales. Tu sais que le rĂ©chauffement occasionnĂ© par l’alcool n’est qu’illusoire voire dangereux en cas de grand froid, il vaut mieux effectivement aller faire un tour au sauna…avec de quoi se rĂ©hydrater!

  3. It seems that you’ve been really kindly welcomed! I hope your stay will be nice as well 🙂
    For the winner I suggest your sauna at will XD Maybe a local specialty could be a nice price too!
    And I bet for -6°C
    Hope too hear from you soon

  4. Coucou AgnĂšs,
    Merci de m’avoir transmis l’adresse de ton nouveau blog. Je vais rattraper mon retard.
    Apparemment, ton installation se passe bien.
    Je pronostique pour demain un – 3 ° Ă  – 5 ° avec risque de chutes de neige Ă  Rauma.
    Ton studio a l’air confortable pour affronter la fin de l’hiver.
    PremiÚre journée au travail : as-tu une combinaison anti-radiations pour remplir les papiers ?
    Grosses bises. François.

    1. oui tout va bien en effet ! trop facile ton pronostique… je suis dĂ©solĂ©e mais je ne prends pas ce qui est regardable a la mĂ©tĂ©o 😉 et puis la question Ă©tait : quelle a Ă©tĂ© la tempĂ©rature lors de mon atterrissage Ă  Helsinki jeudi dernier… !
      Et pas besoin de combinaison anti-radiations ni rien du tout parce que l’unitĂ© sur laquelle je travaille est en construction (bĂątiments) donc pas d’Ă©lĂ©ments radioactifs utilisĂ©s !
      Bisous

  5. Coucou AgnĂšs,
    La maison a l’air sympa, c’est cool ! Super accueil ton chef ! Je veux le mĂȘme !!!
    Moi je dis -10 la tempĂ©rature Ă  l’arrivĂ©e…
    Je suis impatiente de savoir comment s’est passĂ©e ta premiĂšre journĂ©e…
    Gros bisous
    VĂ©ro

    1. Et ben pas mal pour les 2 premiers jours… mais je suis crevĂ©e, il faut que je reprenne le rythme… et lĂ , quel rythme… journĂ©e de 11h ! je raconterai ça une autre fois…
      Bisous
