15th Feb:
Back from Lapland

Now you know why i call it a double trip.. coz we're leaving again the night we return.. =)

When people think of travelling to Germany, the first places are usually Berlin or Munich. We chose Bremen, or should i say Bremen chose us, because Ryanair (the cheapest budget flight out of Finland) only goes to a few places. We decided to go along and see what fresh experiences throw at us.. I guess it's good in a way that i visit places that people go less frequently.. perhaps it less touristy? Google is my best friend.. and we're venturing in rather unplanned.. Land of Sausages and Beer here i come!

The Lapland trip is a planned student trip that we signed up for.. we're missing some classes but what to do.. i have to set my priorities right (hehe).. We'll be staying in a cabin.. and going through several activities like Arctic Survival Course.. Ice Fishing.. Skiing.. visit Reindeer farms (eat some?) and Santa Claus Village.. Cross the Arctic Circle.. Drive a Husky sleigh etc.. and hopefully.. see the Northern Lights. This is one of my life goals.. to see the Northern lights.. God willing i will fulfill it this time.. =) If not.. haha i trust that the glory of God revealed when i see Him will be a far more spectacular sight..
