HAUSKA TUTUSTUA!

On Monday my aunt and I went to Helsinki. We’ve taken the train from the station in my district and we were ready to visit “the capital”. There was a problem! In that train they didn’t sell tickets! (yes, because in Finland you can buy your ticket directly on the train) so then we’ve decided to get off at the next station and to buy the tickets there. But there was another problem: no ticket office there! Fuck! My aunt has suggested me to ask a guy for further information. He was there waiting for the train and drinking some beer. “Excuse me, can you tell me where we can buy tickets?”

He told me that we could buy the tickets on the train but we had to get at the “correct” compartment! Next train would be came by 15 minutes so we had the time to talk a little…

He asked me where I was from, why I was in Finland, how long I was planned to stay and so on.

When I answered him “…I want to live here forever…” he was surprised and he told me “Why??? Why here? For all this!” and he pointed at the grey and rainy sky! :) “Yes…” I said “…for all that…and more…”

We talked until the train came and afterwards. He told me that my English was better than yours and he asked me to teach him! “Do you think my English is perfect?” I said. “Yes! It’s fast and good! I’m not able to speak in that way…” he answered. I was surprise… So I told him that I could teach him English language but he had to teach me Finnish language! “that’s it!” he said.

We arrived at Helsinki and he gave to me his mobile number saying I could call him for a walk in Helsinki next week-end…

“That’s it!”
