Hey hey,
Sorry for not writing for such a while. Another month has passed and I am still in Reykjavik. Turns out I will be here for the next 2,5 months. I just love the 10 degree so much that decided to enjoy it for a little longer!! ;0) Haha, not really.. The real reason for staying is a bit more reasonable: work. I really have to save some money for next year, and since it seemed to make more sense to stay here (in Finland I don´t have an appartment at the moment and other practicalities..) I thought what the heck, let´s see what the Icelandic summer feels like.
It´s been cold so far. But that came as no surprise.
Anyway, I found work in a very nice small cafeteria called KaffiVin. It is an Austrian coffeehouse/restaurant, but because the owner changed about a month ago, we'll see what happens with the Austrian theme. Since it is such a small place, I have been able to learn both in the bar and in the kitchen. Have even learned some more Icelandic!!! All in all, it´s a nice place and I think that the summer will go well working there.
A lot of people left Iceland a couple of weeks ago. We who stayed here had to find a new appartment, because the old one changed into a guesthouse for the summer and the prices quadripled. Luckily we heard of a dormitory that would be rented for the summer for quite inexpensive prices, and got ourselves nice rooms here. It´s still quite close to downtown, I have a 5 minute bike ride to work.
Yeap, so that´s about it this time. Have been missing Finland a little bit lately, must be because of the weather. I want to go to sauna and swimming and have a bbq with my friends!!! I will be flying back home in the beginning of August, so should have time for that still before school starts.. :0)
Thank you for everyone who has sent me-mails lately. I´ll try to get down to answering very soon. In the meanwhile you all are in my thoughts..
Gotta go now.
Hugs,
Kaisa
