Very Merry New Year And Happy Christmas
Christmas
Christmas was different.
It was warm, almost hot and really lightful. As Christmas food there was fish and salads.
Huge breakfast at Hoogefelts and big lunch at home. Quite big dinner, leftovers.
Swimming in our pool and on boxing day water skiing, if I wanted to.
Everywhere host cousins, host ungels or host grandfather. Calling to home and talking with grand mom. Living mostly just sleeping in Serena's room.
Days between
We left 9am to Bethells Beach. Walking in the river and sliding down from huge sand hills. It was heaps of fun. We never really went to the beach where The Piano was filmed but next time then.
These Between days I met lots of interesting people. Harry's friends, Fred's birthday quests or just random guys who hopes that me and Luisa won't fell a sleep while watching Madagascar 2.
I saw Twilight and I still don't know did I like it.
New Year
New year was interesting. Ir really was. From at least start of December I have had different plans what to do and where and who is going to celebrate it with me. Still even in New Year's eve I didn't know what was going to happen.
We had plans with Luisa for example to go to some beach and sleep there. Watch some fireworks. Meet heaps of people. We were suppose to go to a boat with my host parents. We planned to go to Auckland and watch the Madagascar 2 and we planned to meet some people.
Our plans didn't really work so finally we ate some pizza for dinner. After pizza and playing sisters we went to Auckland and to Viaducd Basin and we were running under some roofs.
Afterwords we walked to Hilton Hotels Bar and we weren't even the only ones who wore converse. Still people were watching.
Hilton Hotels Bar wasn't good enough for us, so later on we found ourselves from Argentinean bar.
Just before midnight we went to good place to see Sky Tower and we saw some awesome fireworks, shooted from Sky tower!
In home I realized that I was almost in German TV. Ariane send message that she saw Auckland's Sky Tower on the news and well, me and Luisa were standing right next to it. Almost.
Well now it's going to be year 2009 and anymore half of my time in NZ is left.

ihastuin musiikkiin ja maailma on hyvin pieni
It's a beautiful day.
I had awesome week. Stefanie was here and we went to Auckland... Shopping of course.
Caroline send me message that she met a girl from Finland who knows me! After an hour we already met in city and it was awesome to speak Finnish. How the world is so small. At first I met Peters friends at Claudia's leaving BBQ and now Katja. Scary.
Later by ferry to Half Moon Beach and walking a long way to Bucklands Beach. At Livia's place it was nice but full of cat hairs though. Her host parents told interesting things about their last exchange students. And we had a lovely dinner. After that to the cinema! It was so great to have a full movie theatre just for four of us.
The night was beautiful! It was raining and we were running and it felt like snow.
It was snowing for me and Livia.
I decorated Christmas tree and I listened all the stories from small Santa Clauses or Decorating angels. Everyone had their own story, they where souvenirs from different countries, or friend had given them as a gift.
This is what I like on Christmas. Maybe the only thing.
Well, me and Stef came by ferry to Dargaville and we met Tomas on the bus! Then later on Takapuna we met Peter and his host brother. I still found the world small.
Bus to Orewa and Whangaparaoa! Finally home.
Now few days after I have taken just relaxed and sleeping lot. I was just walking normally from bus stop to home and I heard something familiar. Someone was speaking Finnish!
"Excuse me, are you from Finland" Well I found out that on my street there is living family which came from Lahti and thy have lived there for 3 years. I'm invited for a dinner with them.
I made Christmas presents. I will sent them home. They are going to be late.
Amélie is still one of my favourite movies.

My first one
I decided to write in English. It's going to be full of mistakes though, but I'll learn!
It's funny to wait for a Christmas and have a swim in a pool on our backyard and next go to X-mas shopping and buy new summer clothes at the same time. In the evening on the adds middle of Friends all Santa clauses are dressed to togs. It totally doesn't feel like Christmas but I'm waiting to see how the Christmas evening is going to be like.
Different. Definitely hotter.
Tomorrow Stefanie comes for at least 4 days. We are going to have fun and we are going to Auckland shopping and movies and everyday to the beach and have picnic-lunch there and... I don't know yet. But we are going to have lots of fun.
Christmas shopping is frustrating because all shops are full of choices and still I can't find nice presents. It's not even two weeks left to Christmas and so many presents aren't exist, yet.
Maybe I'll do something by myself.
