The (dis) advantages of living atop a hill.

Though may seem obvious; however, I feel the urge to stress the advantages and disadvantages of living atop a hill seeing as though even the south of Limburg is flat compared to this area of Finland. I’m not complaining, and there are certainly no mountains here, the highest point in whole Finland is only 1328m above sea level. The advantage for me is that in the mornings on my way to the university I don’t have to cycle at all, I can just roll down the hill ready to brake at every side street. However, as you may have guessed the disadvantage is that I have to do the opposite on the way back! However, it’s not so bad.
So… on my life here in Finland, I’ve been quite busy studying for my Finnish exams so I haven’t been doing much this past week. However, as you may have seen in my photo album I spent the weekend before last at a mökki (summer cottage). All we did there was sauna, swim, row, eat, drink and sleep. I’m really glad we did that when we did because the weather has turned for the worse. Only Sunday it was still 27 deg. But today it’s 10, so there won’t be much more outdoor swimming. That’s pretty much all I have for now, I have to get back to studying for tomorrow’s exam.
Nähdään!
