Lahti

On the 4th of March (yes i know it's outdated), I went to Lahti with Dai Da (north of Helsinki) with the intention to snow board but somehow, I was lucky and I managed to watch one of the greatest winter games: the Lahti Ski games and not to mention join in one of the warehouse parties there. All these, thanks to my hospitable finnish friend, Toni!!! Toni was on exchange in Singapore and that's how I got acquainted to him. I didn't know how crazy he can be until I went to Lahti (the place he stays). Enjoy the photos.



Me and Toni's dog, Leevi. It was so adorable. Sorry Yvonne, it was cuter than loki and I bet my sis must be really jealous of me. hehe.



And finally, this is Toni!!! in his kitchen.



Toni's beautiful house. I can imagine how it will be like in Summer...wooo

Kite-boarding at a harbour in Lahti; Toni drove us there =D

Walking towards the sea to take a closer look at the kite-boarders

Yes, i'm not kidding you, we really went onto the sea... look at the jetty



The closer look as promised



Ski-jumping towers, pay me a 1000 euros and I will still never jump down that tower



3 of us, freezing except toni... he's finnish. haha



Some pretty hosts of the event



Cross-country skiing event



Cheerleaders... want a closer look?

FINLAND!!!



There were 28,000 ppl there




Fireworks after the events ended. It lasted really long so I gave up and videoed it down after taking these 2 photos.



Mr Leevi again, poor dog, I guess it must be really confused by me speaking english.



Warehouse party!! toni, daida, camel and me... chamel-pronounced as "sha-mel"



Snowboarding!!!



Before I fell



Gravity triumphed



Our nice host... Toni!!! Connections work in Finland. He got us a huge discount for the snowboarding and i mean really huge. Probably the best rate you can find in Finland. hehe.



And who can forget our cute Leevi staring at us when we were about to leave for Helsinki.
