Woohoo Flu-u-u-uuu

My last week here in Kokkola and in Finland is surely not going unnoticed because I'm coughing all day and night. I have a mild flu. Although it is going better by the day, the coughing is just annoying as hell because. Like the wise Finns say: if sauna and alcohol doesn't help, you gonna die. So I go to sauna a lot lately and it helped me greatly. I'm gonna miss those wise Finns greatly, like the rest of Finland. But between my practical and being sick I have some time to mentally prepare myself again for life in the Netherlands in 3 days and the things I have to take in consideration:

• Stores are clossed at sunday
• I can't go to sauna every week anymore for free
• I have to speak Dutch all the time again
• If I say 'kiitos' no one understands what I mean so try to avoid that
• Saying "mita kuuluu?" to a non-Finn doesn't work anymore.
• Ei becomes egg again instand of no
• If I want to say "yes", I have to say "and". (ja)
• I can talk about sex out in the open and no one is ashamed
• Every type of weather is bad, there is no nice or pleasent weater in the Netherlands
• I have to face the wind again everytime I go outside
• Opinions are everywhere, even if you don't want to know
• Costumer services is unheard of
• Cars won't stop for you if you want to cross the street with a bike or walking on a roadcrossing
• All trafficlights have buttons which you have to push, but you don't wait for the green light.
• No more cheap good and healthy student priced lunches for €1,28 at the school caffetaria
• No studentdiscount anymore
• I have to learn again to learn alcohol to be social, not to get completely wasted.
• My personal space is gone, the Netherlands is to crowded to have descent Finnish one.
• No more hearing of cute Finnish language where ever I go.
• All adds on internet are in Dutch again instead of Finnish.
• I don't have to explain anymore how Dutch social work education is divided into 3 parts.
• Dutch school system makes sence once again.
• If people ask how I'm doing they don't expect that I give a short summary anymore.
• The moose magic is gone, the Netherland don't has mooses.
• People don't understand the power of the mooses and how special it is to see them in the wild.
• If there is a bright night, I no longer have to stare excited to the sky, because no nordic lights.
• The Dutch are not Finns.
• Perkele vittu saatana becomes godverdomme, kut or klote (not propper translations in all cases)
