This weekend marked the 12/12 which means it was 12 hours light to the 12 hours night! Finally! It was obvious, because Saturday morning I woke up and the sun was shining...time to hit the streets and get some good pics right? And so that is what I did after the Divaani party and the movie Friday the 13th (what a nail biter that was! I must have jumped out of my seat like 10x and the thing is I know the story ...seen it many times...but still jumped when Jason appeared in the remake...Scary! Loved it!) Saturday I walked around the city and through the open market where they were selling fruits, hats and all kinds of things...then I walked and tried to go to Tori for a late breakfast but the place was packed so I decided to go shopping. What else? I bought some little things and then went back to the place to get some lunch. Afterward I decided to walk around a bit more and enjoy all I could with the sun shining. Then I went home and chilled in front of the television. I found that there are many programs we have back home: CSI, Cold Case, Music Videos, Weeds, Californication, Late night with Conan then some new channels like Eurosports (ski jumping, snowboarding), Ice Hockey Games, News and some movies, too. I was happy just to chill since I have been going going going since I got here. Sunday I woke up and went to the Helsinki zoo in Korkeasaari, which is about 20 minutes away by bus. It was so worth the trip, too cause I spent about 5 hours there just walking around checking out all the different animals from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, South America and North America. :) They also had animals I have never seen before - animals I have seen in books or on animal planet but now was seeing them in real life. I felt horrible when the reindeer looked me in the eyes with that sad face like I ate his brother or something...oops. But no really it was a great experience to see a rocky mountain goat, reindeer, a red panda (made me think of you manda panda), a bearded vulture, owls, a camel, monkeys, turtles, snakes, Chilean flamingo, Persian gazelle, swans, European bison, wolverine, Markhor, frogs, lions, tigers, snow leapards, bears and European mink. I got pics, too. Some of the monkeys were the greatest laughter of the day. I couldn't get a good picture of my favorite but I stole it from the website. Check out this guy! Look at that lil guy...I could hear Courtney saying as I was laughing at his appearance. Check it!
