46th, 47th, 48th weeks, last time in Finland...

Some last pictures of my Evs, in Vänö, Turku and Helsinki... Now, I'm in Paris, and I already miss the Finnish winter, so white and nice. And I will miss people that I love there, you know? I would like to know you more... So many things happened, I will try to keep the best in mind, knowing that I already forgot the bad things... How can I find the good way to express how much I'm grateful? Time will say it to me, I hope. Anyway, life is long, and for my big pleasure, we'll see again soon, someday, somewhere, for the highest good of all... Bye bye Finland, untill the next time, it was nice to be a foreigner in a foreign country such as yours!

43rd, 44th, 45th weeks in Finland and Sweden

This last weeks I had my last circus workshops with the kids, in the sports club and a little kiindergarten. I had such a good time, I enjoyed and I will missi it I guess. I hope the children became intersted by the circus and will continue to tran themselves with all that they learnt...
I was participating to an event on the ice rink. There was lot of children with their parents, some animation, it was fun and I also won a boat ticket on Viking Line... A trap! It was a ticket for go to Stockholm from Turku, stay on the boat and come back the day after...
I have been visiting the children in the Rosala's school. They were happy to see me again, I hope as much as me... They interviewed me for a newspaper they will make for the school and the people leaving in Rosala and Hitis. I also had an idea that I told to Sanna, their teatcher: soon, I will put them in links with a school in Réunion Island, like this they will meet children far away, working on computer and internet about many themes and in english.
I also spent a day in Vänö. on this pictures, you can see the frozen Baltic sea, little bit scary, I was thinking to the Titanic on all the way... There is the fish that you can find too, who don't really want to be dead, even when they are already cleaned and out of the sea since many hours... Also scary, looks like they come directly from the prehistoric age...
So, even if the ticket that I won was not good for the last trip that I wanted to go to Stockholm, I have been ther because I had already told to my friend that I was coming... We have been ice skating, look at some movies and visited an ice sculpture exhibition. I also wanted to meet many people here, but I'm so bad at scheduling... Anyway, I think it was enough and I had lot of fun here even if it was not so easy in winter time.

40th, 41st and 42nd week in Finland

At the beginning of the Month, I  was to the Brannskär exhibition in Kimito. It was nice to see people that I know there. Were presented the Island, and Lennarts work there.
At the moment, I'm working each Thursday afternoon, to do some circus workshop with the children. French>English>Finnish>Swedish... Translation can be a hard job sometime...
I also been to Vänö, the ground was frozed everywhere, so dangerous. I feel like it's the beginnning of the end of my EVS... Such a strange feeling, not so nice. I helped out with some cutwood work there.
Some good moment with my buddy Halid, a macedonian volunteer friend. We have been to the Matka exhibition in Helsinki. A lot of country represented, some good ideas for future destination... I hope that people was interested by the Réunion Island Stand. There was so much animation for everybody, it was so cool to be a foreigner there, to do crazy things that people here are not used to do.
Miss Mcabre want to go outside and to do lot of things with me... But it's cold, we even had -24 sometime... I think that I'm doing an allergy to the cold or to the brutal temperature changement, really, even if I like it, when it's not less than -7.
