Munich is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria, on the banks of River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, with a population of around 1.5 million. The Munich Metropolitan Region is home to 5.8 million people.

München on Saksan kolmanneksi suurin kaupunki Berliinin ja Hampurin jälkeen. Se sijaitsee Etelä-Saksassa Isarjoen varrella Baijerin osavaltiossa ja on myös osavaltion pääkaupunki. Ensimmäinen kirjallinen maininta kaupungista on 14. kesäkuuta 1158. Münchenin väkiluku oli vuonna 2011 noin 1,4 miljoonaa.

München - a lively, big but comfy and fairly beautiful city, with a welcoming atmosphere. I liked München, I liked it a lot. As well as I liked the Bayern (Eng. Bavaria) overall. The first sight of the city I got already in 2013 when I was visiting my hometown's "friendship town" and we landed on Munich Airport. However it was night, totally dark already and we just jumped in a bus and headed away. On June only difference was the fact, that we headed away by car.

Anyways, later on, we ended up spending a couple of days is München. We stayed at my boyfriend's aunt's and her family's place and saw a few different sides of the city. On Sunday, 28th of June, we went to the stables. The aunt is a horsegirl just like me, and as you can imagine - a horsegirl from Finland in a huge horse-country like Germany couldn't be more excited. As in Germany pretty much no shops are open during Sundays, during the afternoon we headed to Tollwood Festival.

Tollwood is an annual festival, which takes place from June to July. It has a hippie-like-atmosphere, with a lot of music, a lot of vegan food, a lot of organic stuff and handicrafts. And of course beer, as we are talking about Germany. It's crowded, but worth of checking if you're visiting München during the summer!
On Monday we visited the city center. As we stayed in a suburb of Müncen we had to take a bus and then a train to get to the central station. As we were planning to go around the city and continue in the evening by train back to my boyfriend's grandparents', we bought the "Bayern-tickets". The price is about 15 euros and the ticket is valid within Bayern-area for every public transportation including trains, buses, S-bahn (tram) and U-bahn (underground) for a day. So not bad at all!
The city itself then. As said, it has a really nice atmosphere. And I have a few places I'd like to recommend you to check out if you ever happen to be in München!
Marienplatz - the city's main square. A place for every tourist to visit; beautiful architecture over all. Englischer Garten is a pretty park to spend some time, and also checking out the river surfing spot in Eisbach is worth of doing. It's kinda cool that you can actually surf in the middle of the city in Germany!
München - kaunis kaupunki varustettuna kutsuvalla ilmapiirillä ja ihanilla hedelmä- ja vihanneskojuilla, joita löytyi joka kadun kulmasta. Tykkäsin paikasta varsin paljon, nyt kun vihdoin sain siihen tutustumiseen kunnon mahdollisuuden kesäkuussa. Münchenissä tuli vietettyä pari päivää, kun majoitus löyty esikaupungista poikaystävän tädin ja tämän perheen luota. Tutustuttua tuli niin hevoskulttuuriin harrastelijan näkökulmasta, Tollwoodin hippifestareihin, kaupungin keskusaukioon Marienplatziin, Englantilaiseen puutarhaan, kuin myös Eisbach-joessa olevaan keinotekoiseen surffausaaltoon. Kaikkiaan vierailemisen arvoinen kaupunki! Oletko sä käynyt koskaan Saksassa?

Long time no see again! Test week started yesterday, today I had a day off and tried to study chemistry and still don't know what's going on with it... I haven't posted for a week, but now I can promise that the next post will be coming sooner! And I still do have millions of ideas just waiting for the right time .... that might be next summer. The last year of IB is trying to kill me. 

But yeah, anyways. Autumn is here and the weather is getting cooler. However the autumn colors haven't really shown up, which is quite sad. Today I spent, as said, with chemistry. I also dyed my hair, but before I'm letting you know what do I look like now, I want to share these outfit pics from two weeks ago. On these clothes I drove to Rovaniemi with my family. Didn't hit any reindeer and spent a lovely weekend with grandparents!

How is your autumn going?

Pitkästä aikaa blogin äärellä. Blogihiljaisuus ärsyttää itseänikin - asiaa kyllä löytyisi, mutta saa nähdä, milloin saan kaiken matskun teille asti. Ehkä ensi keväänä, kun koulu on tältä erää ohi. Toivossa on hyvä elää. 

Eilen alkoi koeviikko ja tänään viettelin vapaapäivän värjäten hiuksia ja päntäten kemiaa. Uudesta hiusväristäkin on kuvia tulossa jossain vaiheessa, mutta nyt tahdoin jakaa parin viikon takaiset asukuvat. Kyseisenä viikonloppuna ajeltiin pitkästä aikaa Rovaniemelle perheen kanssa moikkaamaan isovanhempia. Enkä edes taklannut yhtäkään poroa!

P.S. As you can see, I decided stick with English and start adding a short conclusion in Finnish!

As you can see from the picture above, it's time for the very first "link your blog" in this blog. I like linking my blog to this kind of posts and I've found several great blogs from those posts. I think this helps everyone - you can find something new to read, you can get new followers for yourself and as a host of a "link your blog" you have something nice to do when you go through the blogs linked. 

But anyway. You can leave a link in the comments below  and you have time to do that from now on until next weeks Friday 25.9.2015. Any kind of blogs are welcome as long as they're written in Finnish or in English (or Swedish).

I'm gonna pick up a few, most probably five, of my favourite blogs and make a  post introducing them. So now the stage is yours! 

Remember to mention, if I'm not allowed to take e.g. your banner and use it when introducing the blogs!

Okei, elikkäs olisi aika tämän blogin ensimmäiselle "linkkaa blogisi" postaukselle. Jätä kommentteihin linkki + pieni esittely itsestäsi ja blogistasi ja palaa tsekkaamaan, pääsikö blogisi lemppareihini asti! Aikaa on ensi viikon perjantaihin (25.9.2015) asti, muistathan myös kertoa, mikäli en saa käyttää banneriasi ym. esitellessäni blogiasi. 

I do apologize the title, it's bad. But I just couldn't find a nice topic for this Blogging from A to Z post and so I decided to put these answers for your questions over here! I tried to divide them into few groups so it would be easier to skim this text through and find the ones that might interest you!

And I do apologize also the fact that this post is coming out a few months late... I just totally forgot this for a long long time!

Everyday-life

There's a lot of things I'd like to achieve. Happiness, profession, good job and my dreams coming true. 

Favourite TV-show(s)?

- Ensitreffit alttarilla has been one of my favourites lately. Besides that Glee, McLeod's daughters, Sex and the city and Uusi Päivä are something that I like to watch.

- At the moment I feel like I would go to live in England, most probably in London. Some cool, modern and big flat in the city could be my ultimate dream came true right now.

- I have to name Maybelline New York master precise eyeliner. It's the one I've been using for years, it lasts long and is easy to put on. Just love it!

- I have no idea actually :D Probably some epic action movie, with a little romance.

My blog has been quite silent for a while again. I still have a lot of things to be posted - once I have time and energy. But don't worry, I won't be silent again as I have a couple of posts ready already! However, today I'm not here to talk about how often do I post, but in which language should I be posting. Let's still first take a quick peek at what's been up last weeks!

Lately, I've been going to school, planning my future and the usual stuff. These pics were taken a couple of weeks ago and now I finally got them edited and uploaded here. Those jeans I love, I bought them from Gina Tricot in the summer and they've been in use in daily bases. I also own a black-and-white version of those and I don't know which ones I like the best. Everything in my life is totally fine if we don't count the fact that I gained at least ten pounds during the weekend - my dad got a birthday and we ate better than well... anyways I'm doing okay and hopefully after the deadline of business' internal assessment I'll be able to post more again!

And now I think it's time to talk about the topic I wanted to talk about. The language. This blog started as a blog written in English. At some point I wrote a few posts in both Finnish and English. Now I've been blogging only in English and it feels natural. I have another, nail-art-related blog, in Finnish, but now I've started wondering whether I should start writing this one also in Finnish or not.

The thought isn't too appealing. English is a huge part of my life at the moment and it seems to be the best language for me to write. However I know that in Finnish my writing skills are better, I'm able to produce interesting, clear and nice text all over. Finnish still is my one and only mother tongue despite the fact that I'm bilingual and capable of doing this in English. The thing that really makes me wonder to change the language is the audience of mine. Who is reading this blog? Mainly Finns. Finns who understand Finnish perfectly. And if I'm writing about the IB, applying universities abroad and travelling, I'm writing from a point of view of a Finn. Who could be interested? Another Finn.

This had lead me into a point where I think, I should give a say to you. I'm quite sure that I am going to start adding translations in the end of each post, but what do you think? Should I start an operation of transferring my blog totally into Finnish? Or should I include both languages or just keep the main focus in another and add small translations to each post? The stage, or the comment box, is yours. 

 Hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did and see you soon!

I was planning to write something else instead of this topic, but ended up thinking this over and over again. Wanderlust. Lately I've found myself scrolling through cheap flights. I've read too many posts about travelling. I've been wondering where I would like to go, which places in Europe interest me the most at the moment. I've been thinking with whom should I travel.

I've been thinking maybe I should just go to London and see Nightwish in Wembley. Or maybe I should ask my boyfriend should we visit his relatives in Germany. Or maybe we should go to Norway again with my best friend, to see her grandma. Should I buy flights to England and visit my cousin shortly? How about couch surfing and a totally new country? How about travelling with my sister? Or my mother and my godmother - they used to travel together when they were young. What if I just decided to go somewhere all by myself?

These thoughts have been my everyday life for a couple of years now, but lately they've been pretty much all I can think. Everything that I do or think is somehow related to my longing to fly, far far away. I would like to go now. Live and let live.

Okay, I know. I have IB, the last year. I have to go through this first, then I'll be free. I've been making research on universities abroad. It's something that I have to do sooner or later. First applications can be sent in just three, maximum four, months. I won't be in Finland in a year, most probably I am not going to apply here.

And what if I won't get in? I've been making a plan B, becoming an au pair. But it's not reality yet, it might be something that I do if I happen not to be studying in uni next autumn. Those two things are something, that I actually could do. But it's not satisfying enough, because I would like to be going now. It would be so easy to make those few clicks and buy flights for me. I would have money, I could do it. But then again I have to save some for the New year in Stockholm and it would make no sense to leave school even for a few days.

It's almost annoying. There's so much that I'd like to do, so many places I'd like to see. And still I'm here, sitting on my laptop in my old hometown. My life isn't that bad, I have great friends and I already live almost the way I want to live. I've made so many friends, I have so many connections all over the world and I enjoy studying even if it's killing me. And still there is that something, the feeling that doesn't leave me. I know that once I'm done with the IB I am so totally done with my life here and I'll leave far far away. 

Are you familiar with this feeling?
