camrogersAt the moment Helsinki is a bunch of stuff that might happen.
- This film school is around the corner from where we're at.
- Got talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kits_the_dm at txxpxxx's party last night, and he recommended this guy for fencing training. He's on the outskirts, which'll add to my bike miles, which is great, and is a hard-arse about physical competence before he'll even let you in.
- There's a Moomin museum in Tampere I want to check out ondrjon's behalf.
- I want to check out Tampere because J loves the place.
- Half the city is a goddamned forest, so I'd like to match J's 100km a week biking.
- J speaks a handful of languages, and teaches them for a living, so it looks like I'll hopefully have a better grasp of Finnish before I become effortless with French. Same with German, probably. Which is absolutely fantastic. Seems like most people over there speak at least three languages, and I'm determined to keep pace.
- Finnish Lapland in 2011 for the northern lights.
- GWT in May (Leipzig).
- 5 days in Berlin with a view to getting a better feel for the Berlin scenes in Fateless.
- Paris for same, and because Dmetri sells that city so damned well.
I just wanna gogogo.
If things play out ideally I'll have a place of my own or shared in either Vantaa or Espoo. So if you know me and you're in the area, mi casa es su casa. So far Helsinki looks like a great staging point for inexpensive (by Australian standards) forays into other countries.
And if that doesn't lure you: we get to vote in Eurovision.
Hard to believe I got here from being broke in a world full of maybes two months ago. I love my goddamned friends.
