HAWAI'I - the paradise of paradises



I love to see ur guys' heads turning green because of jealous! Yes, I was there and for one week.. ;--) Now it's time to make ur heads deep green by telling about my trip and bitches... I mean.. beaches. :)

Saturday. After a long, only 12 hours flying I arrived to Hawaii. My first expressions were: "Where the fuck is the snow?", "I totally don't need any sauna here!". It was so hot that I felt more comfy to wait others for two hours inside the airport. (I had to...) It was such a moment of joy when I saw our hotel; right next to beach!! (: Here's a photo from our balcony.


We just hanged out the evening and waited that more and more people came, and ended up with only 90 exchange-students who were from Germany, Germany, Germany, Germany and lots of different countries! About 7 Finnish though, GO FINLAND perkele! After almost everybody had came (somebody missed their flights) we went to have a supper, buffee, in one hotel next door. I fed my stomach and talked that whole evening with one Danish girl who was as small school as I am! So, there's also other lucky ones.. ;) After that I went to my room, two little beds, and I thought I'll have a room alone. But suddenly my eyes saw shoes which wasn't mine, and thought I gosh, now I got some asshole room mate. NO WAY! He was a German (what a suprise) boy called Yanic and he was really nice guy and we ended up during the trip to become really good friends! ((:


Sunday. Waking up and heading to breakfast (free) which was awesome; three different options: beacon n eggs or french toasts of fruit bowl of pancakes. I tried and loved all of them. Food is good for you, you know. After breakfast we notices that one guy, Malte (German, do I need even tell u that without u guys knowing that already?) and we had to sleep all the rest of the nights, 3 guys on 2 beds together, together. Nothing gay.. We didn't want to pay lots of money of an extra bed n the floor was too hard. After breakfast we started hiking to a high view place called Diamond Head. The hiking sucked a little bit but it was worth it though! As you can see of these photos. :-)



Then it was time for having some free time. I hanged out with Yanic on the beach, and afterwards we all 90 starving students went to a supper some pizza place ! (--: I kinda eat typical American junk food; burgers n pizzas every day for lunch, come on.. we were in Hawaii! :)


Monday. Too bad... it was cloudy morning, cloudy afternoon, evening and middle of the night frkn sunny. So no burned skin during that day for sure! We rode by busses a little city tour and after that it started to rain, we went to a little village and did some shopping.
We alsorode by busses to a pineapple farm and ate lots of pineapple ice cream which was really good and fresh. (: More fresh than burgers... When we were done (wet) on our wau to the hotel we stopped in a beach which has 20 feet high waves and it's a famous surfing place. I'm really good with names as u can see. :-----) In the evening we went to the Polynesian Culture Center which had people from different cultures of Paficic Ocean to show their culture things. It was really funny and interesting even though everybody almost fell asleep during the last show which lasted really late. The best and funniest part was a man doing coconut milk from a coconut and acting like he would have masturbated. :--D We ate supper there. Coconuts and pineapples for sure !

Tuesday. Because everybody was so dissapointed 'cause of Monday's crappy weather; Tuesday was a really hot and sunny day! We went to do kajak rowing to the different little islands. Got some suntan and it was really cool! (--: I rowed with one girl who was from "you-know-which-country". There's a pic below this. In the evening it was time for HARD ROCK CAFE. Again, burgers, yam. :p During "I Gotta Feeling" we all got wild. Here's a photo to proof that.



Hard Rock Cafe table, Before... we got wild:


Wednesday. It was partly sunny day. We did catamaran (going by boat in the ocean and jumping to the sea with turtles n taking both sun and photos!) and surfing! :) Surfing wasn't so hard that I thought it would be.. maybe the reason was 8080808084545 cm wide boards. I stood up once, other times I kinda forgot everything which the men said on the beach and just wanted to stand up with wrong movements. In general it was a great day. After those we went to the Mal and I bought Vans shoes for 10 bucks. Ridiculous.. And then we ate in Bubba Gump Shrimp Co which had so small portions that my baby boy (I don't have any) wouldn't be full after that. Again, some pics: ((((: !



Thursday. We spent an interesting day at Pearl Harbor and in Missouri ship. The museum was really interesting and made me sad. I also noticed how proud some Americans are of their country: "That bomb can fly that fast, destroy that much etc.." We did some volunteer cleaning up in Missouri but I didn't see any difference after that. Our prize was a free guided tour in that ship. Sweet day though, for supper the worst buffee ever which ran out of food. But it was all good though. :)



Friday. Oh my gosh. The last full day in Hawaii. Time flies.. After another amazing breakfast we went to do snorkling! It was top 5 place in the whole wide world. Some guys saw turtles, I only gold (cold) fish. It was amazing anyways! :--) And I survived! After snorking it was time for a very last Hawaii's party. There were music performances, dance shows and really good traditional supper. It was sad to go to the bed that evening.

Snorkling place (top 5..)

Saturday. Some of the guys left as early as in the morning. I myself, and Yanic, and some other kids left in the evening, and we had taht whole day to enjoy the sun and hanging out at the pool and buying souvenirs. Here's a photo of that day. Me and Yanic. :---)


In gerenal, it was an awesome trip with awesome people! ((((: Totally a paradise.. I have to wait 3 long weeks and I'm going to Miami guys! ;))

'til next time

The Days Of Our Lives

At first I would like to tell you guys about a day that every human being has only once in their lives. It's the day that you've been waiting for 18 years. After that you just wanna be younger. Alright, my 18-year birthday !

It was kinda funny, because of the time difference between Finland an USA, I became an adult in the evening of USA time. That didn't feel any special, and it doesn't feel now either. Maybe I will get that feeling when I'm driving my own car to some store to get a beer in Finland. Before that I'm just gonna enjoy being 18 here ! I have my time to get drunk in a nursing home when I'm old. (: I had school that day, 27th of January, on Thurday. It was amazing how many guys wished me happy birthday, I think the whole school remember that (reasons might be Facebook and me giving Finnish chocolate to people...) I'm 18. I felt like a celebrity, and of course I am, because of this world wide blog.

After school it was basketball practice as usual. Then all players in our team were forced to clean up a basketball stadium, but I skipped that by saying to coach "I'm gonna eat with my family a birthday dinner." Then somebody shouted "He's going to the strip club!" And I responded: "I didn't say that!" The result was coach laughing and saying: "So, Sami said he hasn't said that but didn't say that he won't go." So, I bet I spend more fun time with my family than my team mates cleaning up like Cinderellas.

I got to choose the place, and I decided: "BUFFALO WILD WINGS". It's one of my favorite food places here. Its speciality is boneless chicken wings. I ate 15 of them as did my bro. Here's some photos for evidence.



After that we ate my birthday cake at home, and I got to open my presents! First I opened Finnish ones. I got Hawaii-trip from my parents so that wasn't in any packet... I got Finnish chocolate (yum), a scarf and photos from my parents. A Finnish flag-bag from my aunt's family, and from my best friend, Kari, I got an AWESOME bottle opener, which was guitar-form. (What was he thinking...? Bottles..) :--D After that it was time to open my family's presents for me. I got: Green Day-sweatshirt from my gay-brother, Mickey Mouse-boxers, paper to remind about our trip to Miami, Hard Rock Cafe-t-shirt (straight from NY) and our school own Springville leather jacket!! (--: I think you guys believe that I was more than happy man that evening. 160 "happy birthday"-wishes on Facebook made my day also, it was toooooooo much. Even though I'm that celebrity.



I have been happy in recent days also! Because... we have had two SNOW DAYS! ((: And one early out this week. I have had so much free time now that I got even little bored today ! And that's new guys I can tell. We had so much snow that we have to shovel our way out to road. And the sad news: our brand new van got stucked in the snow :(( ! Here are photos. They are better story tellers than me.






Right now I'm ready for my last basketball game tomorrow and HAWAII on Saturday. Let's hope I'm still alive when I come back. Anyways I'm sure I will, so

'til then guys who still have motivation to read this s*it ! (:
