Life Of Lotta (LOL)

Christmas 2018 was amazing, magical and just perfect in every single way. Our first Christmas after moving to Finland :) I really enjoyed just being, chilling and zoning out instead of having to spin around, rush everywhere, having to try to meet everyone, catching up on the time lost, taste all the new Finnish candy among million other things, and before you know its time to head back to Ireland again. I love photography and due to being on the recovery from my eye operation I took it easy and spent some time taking photos and practicing my photography skills. Photography is such a lovely hobby. I think I mostly like photographing objects, like people, animals etc. So it isn't a big surprise that there's a lot of cat photos in my "portfolio" :D Our little princess Iita is especially photogenic as you can see. Some photos are also taken by my mum. So here ya go, Christmas of Lotta Edition And a very happy new year 2019! Lotta xxx <3 Pik...

So I've lived about 5 months in Finland now and the time has come to reveal all the dirty secrets of the Finns! Well more like compare all the weird and funny stuff between the 2 countries. Since living abroad for so long, I entered Finland somewhat of a foreigner myself. There are so many weird little things that I had to get used to and that are so different than in Ireland. Sometimes I wonder will I actually ever adapt fully. For example shopping has proven to be challenging. If I need something other than the usual groceries, like cheap hair stuff  & make up (Penneys), phone cables (€ shop), new performing outfit (Quiz) etc, sure I would know straight away where to go in Ireland. But in Finland, not so much. The choice of products is different, there's far more shops and sooo much more selection in all the supermarkets and shops, and I actually find it overwhelming having too much choice. Like there's about least 25 different hams available just in our neares...
