Today I have been doing Tampere, and for me it has only been an pleasure to explore this wonderful city! I have fallen in love a bit in the city itself, and also the friendly people here.
On todays agenda there were two inportnat thing to do: First a visit to see the fantastic steamengine, I cant resist old mechanics and this beauty was something else I tell you. The horsepower was 1658 when it was up and running, just check out the photos over at my flickr page! I spent a long time there thinking about the people working with it and how amazing it was. The engine was running the Finlays mill at the time from 1900 to 1955. A must see if you come to Tampere!
Second there is an Stone museum, and there I spent a long time. Wonderful. Amazing collection of stones. And the fossils is only them worth the price of the ticket!
After that over to an Wafell place recommended by Carol, I had an wafell with Goatcheese, strawberry jam and whipped cream. Nat a new combination to me, but it was delish really! And of course I had coffee with it! fter that I had to find a bus to take me to Pyynikki and the tower there, was told its one of the best views over Tampere. And it was wonderful, took both photos there nad slo did some bambusing (videos live) from the top. Great and fantastic! I was also told to have the cafe's donut and it was very sweet and good. Enjoyed the shadow there for quite some time as I was overheated after spending too much time in the sun. After that needed cooling down and resting a little I went by bus back to Tampere, the rest of the afternoon I spent in my favorite place in Tampere, the park near the waterfall.

This day I planned to go to Soumenlinna (Sveaborg) but got the directions wrong(Typical me?) so I decided the spend some time in the city core of Helsinki and go by tram for a bit. I love trams, you can see so much and its qutie comfortable. My thoughts about Helsinki is that I will soon return and see more sometime soon!
After eating and having icecream (More Ice than cream!) I decided to catch an earlier trian to Tampere, said and done. Back to the Hotel to pick up my backpacker and then away to the station. Got on the first trian, an Intercity train and it was a nice one. a lot of space for you, not at all narrow between the seats. I could even fit my backpacker on the floor and have space for my feet. And the prices on trains in Finland arent that bad at all, I paid 25.90 euro from Helsinki to Tampere.
Arriving in Tampere my friend Carol met me at the station and we went over to her place so I could take my soooo needed shower. Then we went downttown to met another Jaiku friend, Minna. I love Jaiku and my friends everybody is so cool and nice to met also in real life. So we sat at the restaurant Saha Terrace (Saha means Saw in Finnish) and I was treated to the most wonderfull Elk Pasta, was fantastic! Thanks both to Carol and Minna for a wonderfull evening with good food and lotsa talking and having a great time!
And sitting there enjoying the sun and the talk was exactly what this trip is about for me, meeting friends and trying my own powers to see what I can do.I'm now feeling as a much stronger person and feel more at ease with myself, this travel has given me new powers and now I know that the only limit is me for what I can do.
Today (Thursday) will be Tampere day and I will explore what Tampere is all about, some museums are planned and then a look around the city.

I've had this cell phone for months but i just wrote some words for it. This is probably the one has lived along with me for such a longest time ever. Those old buddies stayed just one or a couple of months. In fact they don't have enough features to keep me up to date. This phone is another story after all though. I am still keeping track of its development about applications/softwares and i will post its goodies here.
Anyway i still like this hulk, although he's got crashes sometime and had my dog bit couples times.
]]>Hi all!
Finally being able to do my first blogpost, feels so good and I´m
happy to share it with you!
My journey started with traveking by boat over to Finland, it wasnt
exactly what I had hoped for but I got myself a long hard sleep doing
it. I slept for 10 hours almost in one go. This hasn´t happened in
years, thats for sure.
Arriving in Helsinki I had to set me up with neccesities like 3 day
card on the trams, sub etc, Prepaid phonecard (Kolumbus, also gives
you unlimited acess to internet for only around 7€) so when that was
done I took a taxi to the hotel. The hotel is lowbudget but totally
okay, I pay 85€ for two nights, the rooms have no own bathroom but the
ones in the corridor is clean so no worries there.
My first day, yes..... After a shower to freshen up I went downtown to
have a look around, and Helsinki is a nice and clean city. The
architecture reminds me of Vasaa and it was a feeling of coming home
to it.
My first observation must still be: What is it with Finland and
Japanese people. On my first day here, wherever I turned Japanese ppl
photoing and wlaking verywhere......I dont think there are so many
Japanese ppl even in Japan! Well I know it must be a touristwave or
so, but I was totally stunned. When I told Stefan (one of my Jaiku
friends) about it, he said he had never seen a lot of oriental
tourists so I might have been lucky?!?
My second observation is: The Finnish women! Well they say that
Swedish women are blond and slender, I say that this is true about the
Finnish women!
Anyway, my day continued with some minor shopping, got hold of a nice
hood that was on sale, and a nice pikeshirt.
At 3 pm I started to feel faintish, relized that I hadn´t eaten since
8am that morning. So me of to find food quick. I ended up at McDonalds
(the thruth is I dont like it, but they were the closest place!)
After an burger menu and then I was feeling alive agin, went to see an
modern art exposition, nice. The Senat building, also nice and then my
feet felt to darn tired so I returned to my room to have some rest (well, it ended up with
more than an hour of deep sleep....)
Day number two now. Woke up an hour later than I planned (note to self: set phone to autoupdate of time!)
Then I had an Message form Stefan that he will arrive in Helsinki bringing the phone.
So while waiting for him turn up I had some breakfast and rested.
When he turned up he invited me to come with him to the Nokia Building and
I was immeditly Into that! So finally I was able to de the Holy Grail fro all Nokia fans,
plus having an interseting and nice lunch in the house. (The salad was excellent!)
It was nice to finally met Stefan and I hope I will met him soon again!
So now I'm back with an N95 and can take good photos and such so until next time, C U all laterz!
Hi all!
This is the first bloggpost from my journey, I will use my vox account as it seems the easiest way to do it and I will (of course!) blogg in English.
Im not sure when I will start blogging on the journey, but as soon as I get the loaner N95 I will start I promise yall!
I'm very excited and it will be an small adventure to do this, I have to remind you that one year ago I was in bad place and didn't move so much....... So for me this small adventure is something really big!
Well I'm off from home now and going to the boat/ferry to Finland later this afternoon.
Well, my girlfriend had given me her Nokia N95 8GB for a couple of days to get some software upgrades and music adding. I had a lot of fun aading music with the "Sync" on Windows Media Player, adding applications like "Shozu", "Jaiku" and upgrading the one and only "N-Gage" !
Here are some pics of her and my N95's ... (together ;) LOL ) , photos taken with my old but still good N76 !
]]>Today my phone died on me. After a nice late lunch with my teenagegeeks and their uncle and coming home it decided, its enough. At first there was only problem with getting the simcard to work, but after trying the card in another phone and it was dead there I realized it was a goner. But after that my N95 refused to strat again, so there’s something seriously wrong
But now when I look at the photos I took earlier that that day I see there something strange with them too, they’re too bright, and so ar the photos posted form the heavy rian the other day, so it might have been something coming.
Well I will attend to it tomorrow, luckily I have a fullcover insurance on it so it might be a piece of cake, at least I hope so…..
If its not resolved until I go on my trip, I will not do any blogging from it. Its not very funny, but I have already paid for the trip, so I will blog afterwards in that case, not as fun but……
]]>Another night
This is probably my last post on this phone. Good bye 5 megapixels.
Bath time tends to be much fun
Pure in its form
Just silence
Some call it tears from heaven

EbaY - What are we doing to fight Counterfeits?
Also, if you have been refunded after falling prey to the counterfeiters, but still have the clone in your possession, and want to help stop these falling into the hands of other unsuspecting buyers, please message me with regards sending me the handset for a short period for research purposes. Im in talks with the BBC at the moment, and they want to borrow as many clones as possible for their investigation, which I will be helping. All postage costs will be returned by the BBC. The BBC will not purchase any clone, as this is profiting the counterfeiters.
Thanks for your help, and I look forward to your message
Micky
