Hey,
Today morning I felt first time even a bit refreshed after my coming here. Maybe it was because 10 hours sleep or something. Although during the night there were some mosquitos distracting my dreams.
Yesterdy we agreed with my friend Antti that we'll see today and we'll hangout with each other and see a bit how is Mexico city about. First time without local help. So I took a taxi to my future school because Antti is staying near there with one mexican friend. After that we got an idea leave to one shopping center near. That place was nice and I have been there once before during my last trip here. Next to the mal there is this market place where you can find some shoes and things like that with a very low price. I found for my self one pair of Converse with a bit over 30 euros.
Then we went to eat something and we found this amazing place with a amazing price... soup, pasta and meat meal together only about 2,5 euros including papaya water. Not only the price and food was good, but also the service was one of the best I have ever had. There was some spanish names of the foods we didn't know. So the waiter brings us some samples we can taste and choose after that what we want. That way we got our perfect meal. Of course because the good service we gave a very big tip.
Tomorrow Antti have been planing to get a first tattoo and I promise to go with him if there will be some problem with language, maybe I can help. Also I will get my mexican sim card and buy maybe tickets for our trip to few amazing places in Mexico. Including some beach and other amazing things, bu more about that later.

Arrival to Mexico!!
Hola todos!!
Okey my trip to México wasn't the normal one. There was all kind of situtations during the way here. Where would I start. My arrival to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport went fine. I was there more than two hours before, but when I got there the rush were huge. Lines after lines and at the moment I just hoped that I'm able get to my plane and to Mexico. Then after more than a while waiting I got to the check in and I see that I have few kilos too much and the lady starts to call somewhere how they should do in these kind of situtations and in the end I had to pay 60€ more because my heavy luggage.
After that I check my watch and I see that I have maybe 20 minutes till my plabe goes and I have to go to some Finnairs office to pay this bill. I run there I get off from the office in 5 minutes. Ther to security check with huge hurry and in the end I got to the plane... but that's not all. Just before I go to the plane I notice because all the running I'm so sweaty. I didn't have any time to buy new shirt, so I go to taxfree shop and put some fresh eau de toilette on me. After that I felt even a bit like human. Good thing was that I had flight change in Madrid and about 5 hours time there to eat and get a bit more fresh. I went to Zara and bought this one James Bond theme shirt and then to toilet wash my self and change the new shirt. After that I felt so much better.
I was waiting the 12 hours flight from Madrid to Mexico City... not with huge smile on my face. Because of course I was waiting to be in Mexico, but I wasn't so sure if my ass likes the 12 hours sitting that much. During the flight I slept maybe 8 hours and it went very well. Next to me was sitting this Mexican girl and during the time we were awake we talk in spanish about everyday things. It was good practise for me and of course flight goes faster with someone to talk.
Finaly I arrived to Mexico. Sad thing was that Karla had already left to work, but good thing was that her mother were waiting for me at the airport. She drove me at their place and now I'm here. Soon I'm going to eat something mexican food and later I think that I will see my friend Antti, who is in the city at the moment and maybe few local friends too.. we'll see what happend. Maybe some party or something. Nobody knows.
Now my adventure really starts!!!

Almost there!
Hey you all lovely people. The meaning why I start to write this blog was basicly because this way many friends and members of my family will be aware how I'm doing and what kind of troubles I have been in.
Now my trip to Mexico is starting to be very close... Only two days and I will say "näkemiin" to Finland and "bienvenida" to Mexico. This trip will be full of amazing people, partys, amazing trips, nice people, odd people, misunderstandings and a lot of funny stuff.
Monday 19.7.2010 I will arrive to Mexico, but before that I will start preparations to my trip with huge party on Saturday and with huge hangover on Sunday. I'm just waiting my 13 hours flight with trepidation. I hope you will enjoy your time reading my blog.
