Friends all over the world :)

Another interesting thing was that since I was on an exchange programme, I got a chance to meet people from different parts of the world. I never expected that I will get a chance to meet such a variety of people from different parts of the world like Italy, Czech Republic, Turkey, Cameroon, USA, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Vietnam, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Estonia, Norway, Belgium, Ethiopia, Egypt, Ireland, England, Portugal,  Lithuania etc. 

It was the 26th of August 2010 that I landed in Finland and almost exactly after one year, i.e. on the 25th of August 2011, I reached India. It was a very different experience for me and if someone asks me about my greatest achievement in life till now, I should say undoubtedly that it was "My Trip to Finland".      

Back to my native

Here I am... back after the expected long break. After one long year in Finland, I am back to my home town in India. It was a marvelous experience to be abroad, especially to be in FINLAND. Finland is the land near the north pole and so most of the time its covered with snow, in a year. I saw snow for the first time in my life. I was overwhelmed to experience the first snow and used to play a lot with it. The temperature shift range in Finland was around 60 degrees. -30 degrees in winter and +30 degrees in summer. And about the Finns, its another big story. I have never met such people in my life before. Even though they are a little bit shy and reserved initially, once befriended, they are the people with most fun. Finns never lie and they are really very helpful. They are not selfish, jealous, self-centered, etc. etc. Finland is the safest place to live in. I was quite fascinated by this interesting country and the people dwelling there.
