We miss our friends in Finland!
Ms Päivi and our friends in Härmälän Koulu, this song is sung especially for you.
We miss you and we hope to see you again (in Hong Kong or in Finland?!) ^_^

Day 10 We're home!
What a memorable trip we had together for the past 10 days.
Great adventures. Great fun. Most important of all, it's the opportunity and time that we can spend together. I treasure the friendships.
Thanks to the parent helpers who had done so much in taking care of the children.
We long to have a reunion soon to share our stories again.
Day 9 We've got some little cadets here at the Suomenlinna Fortress

See our kids fire snow balls together
Joining the tactical ambush was so much fun.
Day 5 - Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! @Porvoo
Our tour guide often wonders why we like shopping so much.
Certainly it's quite a different lifestyle than ordinary Finns.
Still, we're fascinated by the artistic handicrafts made here at Porvoo -- toys, home decor, pottery and jewelry, and more.
Porvoo is really a nice little town.

Day 5 - Having fun @Lahti Olympic Ski Jump Tower
Having fun with snow is always something that kids (including me) can hardly resist.

Diary Entry (Day 5 recap by Jocelyn Tsang from 6A)
Today was the end of our performances at Harmala School and Peltolammin School, so we were (hopefully) able to get more sleep. This morning, we took the bus from Tampere to Lahti. the highlight of the day happened there.
At first, we were planning to go inside the Jean Sibelius Concert Hall, where I could sing, hopefully. However, there was a change of plan and we could not go in. I was a bit disappointed, of course. To make up, our tour guide, Ann, let us walk around a frozen sea nearby.
The whole sea had frozen into ice and the ice was covered in snow. When one looked all the way across the sea, one could only see the 'everlasting' patch of snow and ice. What's more, the ships which were parked in the sea stayed on the ice, which meant we got to look at and take photos with big ships in the real sea which was frozen.
I ran over the frozen sea, occasionally stumbling over the uneven ground. The dock in the sea was covered with snow and frozen over the ice. At first I did not even recognize the dock and thought it was a bench! on the dock, I got a piece of ice and examined the pattern closely. It was so beautiful! The pattern was delicate and you could see the lines of it. There it lay, glinting from the sunlight, on my gloved hand. Sparkling and pure. Just like me.
