Москва слезам не верит


I spoke Russian today, which was very much fun and extremely tounge-twisting. It's been a while since the last time, so it felt good to see that some of it still remains in my head. Besides, it is always great to meet nice people.
Åland/Ahvenanmaa isn't really famous for being friendly towards outsiders (apart from all the tourists that come in summer), and you hardly ever bump into foreigners (non-Ålanders, non-Finns, non-Swedes) on the street (at least that's what it's like for me, others might feel differently), although rumours* claim that there are lots of them here. It's a great pity that these people are hiding somewhere, as cultural and ethnic diversity is such a fascinating thing.

* Everything on this island is based on rumours.

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you are following it. At the moment I'm on holiday back in Finland, but will be returning to Spain. So don't worry, there will be more posts about Spain. Would you like to read about anything special about Spain?
