Yeha!! :P Melanie!!! i'm loving your blog!! this is really cool, and is amazing how nicely is feeding my envy haha. I like your writing style really :), i wish someday we would end in a music magazine writing shit about our favourite bands! :D
I found your music really dinamic, and i found some treasures over there but sadly i don't remember the names crearly. Hey and you have discovered me Air properly! now i can enjoy them in that festival :)
Red Hot chili peppers in Spain were terrific! it was a great fun, i was exploding of happiness! :D

Hugs, Bennny
ps. You haven't added me to your e-mail list yet! :-)
Keep fit and have fun! Moi Mel!!
I am so thrilled to hear of your adventures- and I can't believe you have found the time to add to your travel blog-kuddos to you for that!~
Only for that though! ; )
We had a blast in your honor this past weekend on the pub crawl! It was not the same without you, but there will be time to party at home again soon. Anyways, don't think about that- you are on an amazing journey and I hope you continue experiencing great things and enjoying your time away! Melissa, Benny, and Jeremy are very lucky to be with ya!!
Hugs from home,

Missing: little asian girl from canada........ Hei Hei Mel, just read your entries. Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun, but then again I never really doubted that. Vilnius looks really nice and Auswitch is indeed a place that you have to visit once. Remember to keep in touch!!!! Will send you an e-mail about what's going on in Jyvaskyla. Miss you a lot!!! Love, Bob
Missing people Ei my darling!!!!!!
Great to read your comments and see that you're OK! I miss you a lot. Here, everything is more sad than often but life goes on...
I will e-mail you soon..
Love,
Manel
Hi Mel... Sounds like you're having a great time in the second part of your trip! I don't know if I'm allowed to say that I'm jealous of your stop in Auschwitz or not - I'm sure it was an overwhelming expereince though. Enjoy the rest of your trip, and we'll chat some more soon.
Shaune :)
heippa Hi Mel,
Looks like you're having lots of fun!! We miss you at the lab, hope to see you when you come back.
Enjoy the rest of your stay :)

A serious complaint about this blog Although i enjoyed both blogs and it made me want to travel to russia very much you are missing something very important. Every travel blog about Russia is legally required to have at least four "in communist russia" jokes. Please rectify this immediatly.
Sounds wonderful/scary/exciting We talk all the time, but your blog was so great it deserved a comment!!!
Lina wishes she could see all those things with you.
Lina is happy choo had a good time.
Lina is sorry about the ballet and promises you a performance in her mom's basement.... if choo want.
Lina also loves choo, gyes!!
Miss ya!~
Although I've never been to Riga, your description seems very familiar. If you get a chance to travel to other ex-Soviet and ex-communist countries you will find that the contrasts are unbelievable. And the more time you get to spend there, the more you feel them. Romania is also an example of an ex-communist country where you can find ultra-modern clubs, extravagant people, expensive cars, and just a few metres away poverty, sadness, misery. But I like to think of it as a period of transition, as you said. I can't wait to have a coffee with you when you come back so that you can tell me in detail all your impressions. Meanwhile, enjoy the pretty things you see. :)
i wish i was there Hi mel!! It looks like you are having a blast and meeting lots of new people!! I keep checking to see if you have written something else and.......you haven't!! come on mel get with the program!! haha just kidding!! Miss you lots! i wish we could have seen eachother before you left!! Talk to you soon
wanna trade? Helsinki looks great. At the moment I would happily trade a week of my Aussie summer for a week of your Finland winter. Keep the blogs and pictures coming, and be sure to kick Miika Kipprusoff in the balls if you see him.
Hahaha... this is awesome. I am so glad you are having such a good time. Keep posting and adding pictures. You have no idea how jealous I am. :) Even though, you could say I am studying abroad, right? Anyway, hugs!
Proud that you are making us look good! Hola Melamee!!
It sounds like you are meeting some nice people and I am impressed at how much you have learned about Finland in such a short time!
You were right to jump into the lake the whole way- its the only way to do things when you travel.....Dont listen to Kefa, he doesnt know what he's talking about-ever!
Miss you, girl!!
XO
hey Hey mel,
I'm so glad to hear that your first week is going well! It sounds like you are trying new things like jumping in freezing cold water for example! i have to say mel that you are nuts! i don't know if i could do it! i start school next week! i'm pretty excited actually! its been a little to long on my part! i hope your holidays were great! too bad that we couldn't meet up while you were in calgary! Look forward to reading your next entry! miss you!!!
Stay Warm... HORRAY!!!!! I'm the FIRST to post a comment!!!!! Sounds like you're having a great time. I know what it's like being cold these days. We're getting down to about 7C right now in China, and it's bloody awful!
:)
