昨天是芬兰的仲夏节，也是芬兰很隆重传统的节日．没有什么大的活动，只是和芬兰朋友一起去了烧烤和航海．芬兰夏天的美景真的是无与伦比的．蓝天白云，绿草红花，莺歌燕舞．．．．词汇太贫乏，呵呵，只是真的是人间天堂了．朋友的家是一处海边别墅，风景很是美丽．

     There are about ten person together, one Chinese family, me and my chinese friend ,one finnish couple, four finnish girls and the host. It is quiet enjoyable time, we sat on the balcony and ate some fresh strawberries and grapes by appreciating the beautiful scenery of sea.  The finnish people are not as silent as I thought before actually. We had been talking with the finnish lady for almost two hours, and I felt so suprised that she is very talktive and easy-going. Maybe it is because that she has been working the the International Association of World Vision. We have talked about lots of topics varing from the finnish people to the foreigners' life in Finland. Since we are foreigners, so even if we are living in Finland, it is still difficult to really get a comprehensive understanding of the finns life. She really gave me a vivid lesson about the finnish people. They can take life so easy and relaxed expensically during summer time, they will spend all the summer in the summer cottage. They have various ways to enjoy the time: fishing, sailing, fire party, barbecue, swimming in the sea,sauna, go camping by car, hiking...... Most of the activities are the naturest way to enjoy life by escaping the modern society. that is why all the finnish people are so true, honest and friendly. I always complained that the life pace is too slow for me in Finland, cos I am really get used to the busy life like in Beijing, I am really get used to be pushed to complete many tasks, get used to become efficient by completing the task in as less as possible time. But seen from another aspect of view, I appreciated the finnish style of life. they know how to enjoy the life not only live.

      After dinner, we went to sailling, it was very exciting. Although it is not my first time to sail on the sea in Finland, but this time we sailed so far away, we almost went though all the sea area around Helsinki. hehe, we even saw some finns totally naked swimming in the sea, of course, they were just finished sauna. ohh, so crazy! But the worst thing is it was so.........cold on the sea, this is also the first time I realized that the summer here is so cold, I can not even wear skirt during this summer.:( i began to miss the summer in China.......... 

     ohh, there is a funny thing happened during our sailing, when we were on the middle way, an little accident happened, the gas ran out!!! We amlost can not came back! but fortuniatly, we found some one to drag us to the land, and bought some.  Finally, when I got home it is almost middle night. Tired but happy!

  　　大清早起来写日志，呵呵，是不是有点疯狂．不过，最近一段时间以来也难得有这样的心情积极地更新日志了．生活需要注入新的动力和激情．如果说在芬兰的农村般的生活让我对生活麻木了，那么激情的巴黎之旅又重新点燃了我对生活的希望．现在想想，还觉得自己的决定很crazy.　从决定到定飞机票到飞机起飞的时间只有一晚．在上周三晚上１１点结束了一天的餐馆的工作后，我在网上订了Finnair的周四早７点３０的飞机票飞往巴黎．太疯狂的一夜，我收拾行李到两点，可是还是一蹋糊涂，最后终于撑不住，准备到早晨四点起来再收拾．谁知一睡就睡到了五点半，天啊，这下把我又忙有急的象热锅上的蚂蚁，不管什么东西一古脑全放进旅游包里，拿着牛奶冲出公寓，去找出租车．还有运气好，找到了一辆出租车，在六点四十的时候赶到了机场．也许是幸运吧，一空姐把我带到了机组服务人员的安检处，我带了一大堆的瓶瓶罐罐，护肤品什么的，都被安全通过，只是我可怜的洗面奶被留下了．

　　空中的旅行只有三个小时，在到巴黎的时候已经是阳光明媚的上午１０点多了．刚下飞机就满耳的法语，不过说实话，我很喜欢，比芬兰语好听多了．那种国际都市的氛围是我所熟悉的，也很容易融入．法国人真的很热情哦，刚下飞机虽然一点法语都不会说，可是我得到了热情的机场工作人员的帮助，顺利抵达宾馆．

　　　在法国的十天，很开心，虽然有时候也不开心，因为这几天里都是我一个人在法国到处逛，我朋友因为要工作，也没有时间陪我．不过，还好了，很佩服自己还是很独立的．其实自己要出国寻求的不也是那种新的生活方式和独立的能力吗？要去的地方还有很多，呵呵，这只是一个开始：）
