Go East - this is what I'm gonna do

I am today leaving Helsinki. I've just cleaned up the apartment and will leave to railway station within an hour. Everything is now ready from my part regarding the trip to St.Petersburg. Well, basically :) My passport and visa are still in the Russian embassy in Helsinki where they will be ready for pick up tomorrow. Those documents will be collected by my mates (who is also going to St.Pete because to study in MITIM) mother, which is really nice from her. This way my mate and I both save a trip from Lappeenranta to Helsinki just to collect the documents.

Today I will be travelling to Lappeenranta. There is a cultural orientation event at LUT tomorrow which I will be attending. It's great to meet some more of the fellow students even before going to Russia. And of course learn a bit of Russian customs and culture before making a fool of myself there. :)

I've had the chance to meet about all of my friends living in Helsinki area during last couple of weeks and bid my farewells. With some people even twice :D Overall I have a really good vibe going on and I am really excited about studying and leaving Finland for a while. Bye bye Helsinki, new challenges await!
