My Finnish holiday

Hi friends!
I've just come back from Finland. I don't even Know how to describe my trip. I had really wonderful time there.
I was there as a volunteer. But there wasn't much work. It seemed I was on holiday there. All volunteers lived at the youth club in Kerava. There was 8 volunteers: from Italy, Poland, Czech Republic and from Russia. We did different kind of work such as gardening, painting, playing with children. We went to kinder-garden once and I showed my magic tricks there (yes, I know a little magic). Two times we went to the eldery people's house and took them out. It was wonderful to see that our help was useful. Those eldery people was really happy.
When we had free time we went sightseeing. We've been to Helsinki, Hyvinkaa, Hameenlinna and Tammisaari. We've been to Tallinn(Estonia) as well. By the way, in Tallin was a lot of Russian people. I was really surprised.
In my opinion we had too much free time. But it was great to go sightseeing around Finland.
Finland is amazing country with beautiful nature. Finnish people was very kind and helpful. At least those people I've met there. They are my friends now. Honestly, I've never met such kind people before. If only you could imagine how important it was for me. I miss them. All of them. I miss Finland. If you've ever been in love you could more understand me. I'm in love with Finland now.
I had the meaning of life before my trip to Finland. But now I have two meanings of life.
I know I'll come back there some day. I will.

I'll miss you, friends.

A new word.

My husband's just created a new English word - "incrazible". Such mix of two words: incredible and crazy. He said to me: "You are incrazible!" It was so nice. I was laughing. He is such a joker! :-)

My funny story.

My funny story.

I'm going to tell you why I've started to learn English.

I'd fallen in love with English actor. Once I watched a film on DVD where he was starring. I wanted to hear his own voice. And I switched language set up into English. The voice was awesome but I couldn't understand any word he said. And then I said to myself: I must learn English! It was a bit more than a year ago. And the actor was Alan Rickman.

Now I'm happy that I started to learn English. I like it. It's very interesting. I'm grateful to Alan for making me to do this.

Besides Alan Rickman I like Noel Fielding(English comedian actor). I'm an actress and I know what is doing comedy. It's not as easy as seems. Noel is a genius. Although we've never met before I consider him as a teacher of comedy to me.

I'm going to continue to learn English. And when I speak English well I go to England to give my great respect to Alan and Noel. :-)
