Helsinki rulez!

Cheers mates!
News from me: After we've passed all our courses successfully, Andi and me had time to party! The weekend a week ago, my german buddy and me decided over the night to visit my swiss studymates stuyin' in Helsinki at the moment. It was again a great trip, but read more while scrolling through the pics!
Thanks again to Mischi for the hosting and to Dänu and Lexington Steel for the gorgeous time we spent! IT WAS GREAT!

nomau es härzlechs dankeschön as mischi, a jönu und a dänu. isch eifach *** bi öich! merci viu mau!!!!!

due to poor signalisation at the harbour, unskilled and unfriendly finnish staff and non-english-spoken loudspeaker announcments, we missed the ferry in Stockholm...
so we had to "sail" to Turku, which is about 200 km outside Helsinki. At least we managed to get out of Stockholm this night! And as an excuse from the ferry-company, we got a 5-star-deluxe-p.diddy-luxurious-suite with free champagne à discréation ;-) of course not: DON'T TRAVEL WITH VIKINGLINE!!! worst travel-company I've ever seen! Go to Italy or France or Africa by train, but not with Vikinglines to Helsinki!!!

Dear Friends...
Sorry that it took a that long time for the update... I try to summarise the last couple of days... Quite a lot happend, as you can see...

Tschou zämä!
Tuetmr leid, dasses so lang gange isch, bisi nöii Fötelis ha drufglade. Drfür gits dismau chlines usführlechers Post :-)

Wi dir gseht isch fei chli öppis gange ir letschtä Zyt...

BBQ

Since the temperatures became much warmer - believe it or not, but it's spring in Sweden - we had a couple of nice BBQs either on a lake or directly in front of our student dormitories. Here you can see how we are hiking to a nearby lake in the beautiful nature...

Hannes (who visited us), Pia, Andi and Elin Simply nice!!!

Hottest MINI all over Sweden...

...at least the registration plate ;-)

Babsis Visit

My studymate Barbara (studies together with me in Switzerland International Mgmt), who does her exchange semester in Finland visited Sweden. Good opportunity to meet her in Gothenburg... Was a really perfect day! Was great to see you! :-)

Babsi
Andi and Pia "escorted" me, here we're chillin' on a nice hill over Gothenburg

Gabis Birthday

Tasty "Aargauer-Rüeblitorte" ;-)

Since Gabi was working for the Swiss Police, we tried to stop some cops to join our party and congratulate Gabi... Almost mission impossible, especially the male cops up here were suddenly all very very busy....

... but once more, the blond swedish girls convinced me ;-) Even tohugh they were wearing an uniform. We had to "buy" them with some candy! :-) But finally they came and wished Gabi "Grattis på födelsdagen"

Wedding in Switzerland

My mothers cousin Vincent was getting married. Vincent is from my american part of the family. Great opportunity to meet all the US-family-members again. The wedding took place in the Italian part of Switzerland, since the bride Nadja grew up in this lovely area of Switzerland. Lovely wedding couple, great weather, nice guests, tasty food and drinks - great party!

Familyweekend & Eastern

For the eastern weekend, my parents and my brother visited me in Sweden. I was really looking forward to seeing them and we spent a really nice time together. Moreover, it was the first time that my parents met Elins parents!
