Terve!
Sorry that I write now only on the past weekend, but we have a lot of stress with moving preparations.
Last Friday against 15 clock we left. Our goal was Inari, a small town in the middle of Lapland. Around midnight we arrived after heavy storms last Inari. Minna Mummu (grandma in Finnish) received us warmly and warm. We spent the night on an airbed, which was very uncomfortable.
The next day we visited Ivalo (30 km south of Inari). Ivalo is the capital district of Inari (lol). On the Rüclfahrt we visited a lookout. The road had an average gradient of 24% !!!!!. A photo in the gallery, it shows you. On the way back to Inari the first time I made the acquaintance of reindeer. In Lapland you always have to reckon with the fact that they just walk on the street. And when you see a reindeer, then usually several of the same in the vicinity. If they are then once on the road, then it may take several minutes to leave it again. Gibs also pictures of it in the gallery.
On Sunday we wanted to go to the North Cape. But the first snow in Norway and very bad weather in northern Finland led us to this Now to make the next Lapland trip. So we spent Sunday morning doing "porro" (reindeer) to dinner to prepare. It tasted delicious. In the afternoon we went walking, as the weather improved.
On Monday we were on our way home to stop the Arctic Circle and Oulu.
Since Tuesday morning, we are preparing now before our move. It is very difficult to get a van. But today we have signed the lease for a Umzugsvan. We hope that 12 m² sind.Morgen enough we pick up the van and on Saturday at 5 clock in the morning we drive to Nokia in order to implement the move.

This morning I could not believe my eyes. It is 9 clock on 14 September. The thermometer stood at -2 degrees and the grass shines white - Frost?!
Yesterday morning at 5 clock rang the alarm. We got ready for a long day. Half 6, it went off - we went to Tampere where we should find our apartment. After 5 hours of ride for 380km (the Speed limit in Finland is low unintelligible) we reached our first goal -. Kangasala. The apartment was great and cheap, but too close to the street, the crowds and we could not have imagined in this live. The owners were an elderly couple. The woman bought the apartment for herself and her husband. But the man did not move into this apartment. Thus, they want to rent the apartment. But without us.
So from the next apartment. Once there, we had our first shock digest once, because next to the house there was a cow pasture. A young man opened the door for us. He told us that he and his family have to move because the apartment for 6 people was too small. We could not imagine that you can live with 6 people in a small apartment 50m ². We liked it. A nice apartment, the landlord was really nice and the transport links and proximity to the city (despite a cow pasture) was good.
Shortly after we left the apartment, got a call Minna. The landlord of the apartment next called. He told us that it was already rented. (
Next, a home was in Holvasti on the program The apartment was beautiful, bright, spacious and on a lake, but it was rented from a housing association means, our chances for this were not high today we got.... the call, that we do not get it. But now we do not care. Because we have found our apartment.
We live from 01 October in Nokia. A city the size of Saalfeld approximately 18 km from Tampere. By car it takes 15 minutes to the airport. Around the corner is a hotel where you are allowed to stay overnight: D and the settlement is situated on a lake. In the gallery there are photos. We have a large balcony, just right for a long hookah nights, a sauna (which we did not do without) and a very bright modern decor. The kitchen is fully equipped (fridge, freezer, dishwasher), bathroom was large and built all of 2006th We are glad this apartment our new to be allowed to call home.
Our address is (as of 01/10/2007)
Minna Mannermaa / Florian Keller
Toukokatu 6A 10 37 120
Nokia
Finland
Our successful apartment seekers ended with a 4.5-hour Drive to Nivala.

excuse that I am only now reporting. But my first week in Finland was quite stressful.
Am 30.08. are Minna and I ended up late at night in Tampere. From the airport to the hotel we are the same (Thanks Dad, you've taken it), followed quickly by a few beers and off to Hela. The next day we took a look at the first apartment. She was very beautiful, but very far away from the center and I unfortunately do not have a job, it is unlikely that we get this apartment. On Friday evening we went by train to and Ylivieska from there by taxi to Minna's parents. You live in Nivala, a small village in the middle of Finland.
In the last week we had to organize something for me. First, we are in the police station Nivalas to me "to sign" in Finland. With my decision I could get at the local registration authority of my "Finnish registration number". This means that I now officially live in Finland may (without restrictions). I may even participate in some elections. This number will be sent to me during the week. Then it is officially looking for work.
On Tuesday of last week we drove to Oulu to Minna's brother to pick up. Oulu is situated on the Baltic Sea and is a beautiful Student city. Similar to Jena, just simply on the Baltic Sea and sand beach.
Friday, we brought her brother back to Oulu and are then immediately drove to Kemi visit to Minna's friends. Kemi is located about 30 km from the Swedish border. Used the opportunity to soak up the cheap and Ikea to get paid a visit to get ideas for our apartment.
Right now we enjoy our first free stress-free weekend. Last night we tried a smoke sauna in the garden. We still smell of burnt wood.
On Thursday we go once again to Tampere. There we will again look at apartments. We have a good feeling to get one, as homeowners have responded to our advertisement. I will answer it in the next week.
greeting to their homeland.
