Pori and Anna

About 10 years ago at primary school (year 2 maybe) there was a girl from Finland, called Anna in my class at school. Well she went back home a few years later but i thought since i was here it would a good chance to see her.

So on the 4Th of April i went up to Pori to see her. It's about a 3 hour drive northwest(ish) on the and it sits on the beautiful west coast. When i got there, after a nice long catch-up chat we went for a look around town. Pori is about twice the size of my town but still not overly big. The city however is very beautiful and i got the full tour of it. We did most of the sightseeing by car though because the weather was terrible. This included doing what is apparently a common passtime in Pori, the 'neste round'. Well neste is a brand of petrol station and neste round, you guessed it, consists of driving around the petrol station (slowly of course).

After that we took a short drive to the frozen beach of Pori. Frozen and beach, not two words you often hear in the same sentence. It was an amazing thing to see because it looked almost like an Australian beach except for the snow and ice all along the shore where the waves should be lapping in. From there we went further along the coast to see a lighthouse and a nice spot on the rocks.

That night we went into the centre of town to check out some places. Pori has a big market square right in the centre of town so it is easy to take in a lot without much walking.

It was great to see Anna again, she is just as awesome as i remember her.
