I'm in Helsinki! I thought Marjaniemi (maaar-yan-knee-eem-
E) was a city but it's just a street name. So I'm in the eastern part of
Helsinki and it's definitely a lot different here than in Vaasa but I'm already
loving it. I got here last Tuesday and had to say bye to Sisar Hayter and I got
my new companion Sisar Andersson! She's really cool and this past week together
has already been a lot of fun. We use the metro (subway) a lot here and lots of
buses. It's really confusing and I don't know how to get anywhere yet but
luckily Sisar Andersson does. Also, I think that I was starting to feel alright
about my Finnish and that I could understand people better.....and then I came
to Helsinki and people talk really different here. I have an investigator that
I really can't understand at all ... but it's also good motivation to keep
learning the language! I don't have much time to write but I love it here and I
know I'm in Helsinki for a reason!
