Way up north, in the arctic circle (well almost the arctic circle) where the only sign of life for kilometres in any direction is a few moose and reindeer, there lives two exchange students, Ash and Bev. Ash is from the east coast of Australia and Bev is from South Africa. They had been wanting to come down and see southern Finland so they came down to stay for the long weekend so we could check out some sights around here.
Seija Drove into Helsinki on Wednesday night to pick them up from the train station, she had never seen them before but had no problem in identifying them, the only two loud foreigners with too much luggage in the whole station :P
On Thursday we went sightseeing around Lohja. We went to see the nearby Mustionlinna (Mustio's castle), then to a candy factory, to Risto's friend's house and then to the little town of Fiscars... Yes like the scissors. There we went to the Fiscars company museum and around the beautiful town.
On Friday it was to Helsinki for some casual sightseeing and the like.
On Saturday we had planned to go to Turku (another large city) and we found out that on the same day there was an exchange student meeting there, so we got to meet many of the people we hadn't seen before in a picnic on one of the islands near Turku (i think it was called ruissalo).
And then on Sunday it was back up to the desert with them.
