Tampere (Finland) - The city of Moomins

The reason for my time in Finland was the school, which offered me the nice possibility for a students exchange with a high school in Finland. My Exchange-Partner from Tampere was really nice, but you had to get used to the finnish mentality. The finnish people are in the most case quite nice, but really shy, incommunicative and quite, that's is normal for them, but after a while, when they know you better, they are treat you like a family member and you don't feel like an alien anymore...

New Travels

Hey guys,
next week I am going to the Eastern Ocean (photos and storys are following). I haven't plan my summer-holiday yet, but in september I am going to go to the Netherlands for sailing for a week (I'll take some pics to let you know how it was).
In the next week I'll also post some new recipes I collected from my travels. I to would like to know from you, if you would like to have a new label on my blogg, maybe called "Health and care"?

Do you know these days when you don't want to do anything?
These days are crazy, because you feel so empty as if the world was a video game. You are just a fictiv character who is navigated by somebody else...

 I don't know what to do against this emptyness but I would be very pleased if you could tell me about any solution..

Chocolate is a good alternative but it just fills your stomach but not your soul. Sports also take the rest of your energy but they help to turn off your head, so that you don't have to think about what is the reasons for your emptyness. I think poetry helps not just poems, also music or films...
