Love for Padova,

It hasn't always been such dancing on the roses, but Padova does deserve a lot of love from my direction. It is a period of my life, it is a stage of mind... as is Erasmus.

Fiume, Padova, Italy.

Carrrrrnival,

Carnival in Venezia is one of the most famous carnivals in the world. Hanna and I went through the narrow streets meeting everything and everyone from horses to elks, Aces to Queens, traditional to modern, Cesars to transvestites. If you are any into dressing up like this... it is definitely your party!

Another narrow street, Venezia, Italy.

My monkeys,

The funny thing is that both of these guys were in exchange in my university for half a year and when they left Finland, I didn't know neither of them very well. Now I find myself in the same car going around the Torino area.

Intensive finnish course,

Happy birthday, babyboy.

My tall little brother turned 18. When he was born, he got a tree like that with pacifier's for everyday of the week. This is when he became from the last child to (legally) adult in our family and got a tree full of plectra's.. I think there's more than one for every day of the week and a box for them, of course :)

In finnish the string of a guitar is called the same as tongue. See the meaning of the picture.
