Day 119 & 120: Sleeping in the Igloo

Day 119
Date: 29 DEC 2008

Michel, the french traveller who have been travelling for a year and a half, was leaving that morning and so we bid goodbye.



Then later that day, it was more Snowmobile and skiing and Snowboarding. When I went in to their storehouse to get those stuffs ready, I cant help but notice the number of ice skating boots they have.



Anyway, here are more pictures taken which includes the pictures of our new guests from Belgium and France.

































Then in the evening, we went down to town again in the camper van to attend another Couchsurfing gathering. we have got people from Finland(ofcourse), Netherlands, France, Belgium, Mexico and ofcourse Singapore.









Taina and me.



Rodrigo and me.



sandra(another daugther of Taina) and me.



Nice lamp made of ice.



The French.



Well, that night was also the night where we sent off Rodrigo. He has to get back to Helsinki for classes. Sad to leave but we had real fun. So here we were at the train station. It was interesting cause you can actually drive your car right next to the railway tracks. Hmmm....





Anyway, after sending away a Mexican, we received another two. Lakco who has been to Taina's place before is back with another friend, Tania. Dont get confuse, his friend's name is TanIa while our host name is TaIna. Get it? Well, since he had been here before, he already knows everyone and so he hit it off with all the kids.





















You may be wondering, just how many guests and kids does Taina has? Let me tell you. She is amazing. She has got 8 kids of her own, 1 foster child, and at the same time she is helping out in looking after kids from families with problems. So when I was there, there were about 15 children around (maybe more, I lost count), plus there were at least close to 10 guests which she was hosting. WOAH!!!! Thats amazing isnt it?

Anyway, I spent the night sleeping in the Igloo again. Haha. Cant get enough of the Eskimo thingy and this time round, the Belgium girls joined me.

Day 120
Date: 30 DEC 2008

Good morning from the Igoo again! Cant remember she real name but we all called her PooPoo!!



This is her sister Sarah.



Thats me and after staying in taina's place for so many days, the kids decided to call me the Singaporean Man, or "SaMako" which means frog in finnsh. But by the end of the trip, I became the Singaporean Samako.



We went out in the camper van again that day. This is Sandra and Lacko.





This is Tania.



And where did we go? We went to the Huksy farm!! Why? Cause the belgian girls wanted to go for a huksy ride and so Taina brought us there. She knows that guy working there as she was the one who recommanded him the job. In fact, that guy was taina'a guest at first but later he wanted to stay in finland and so taina help find him the job. How nice.













Then, its time for Sarah and PooPoo to leave and so we say goodbye to them. It was nice havign them with us. They were so funny.



After which we just spend the rest of the day chilling out, singing Karaoke at taina's place. Its sing star on the Xbox. (I think)







Anyway, who wants to guess what this song is? I am sure everyone knows this song. well, if you are at least around my age or even older, you should know. Common guys, whats the name of this song?
