Girly Weekend

Most people here return to their home cities/countries during weekends, but since my home country happens to be a couple thousand kilometers away spending my weekends there is quite impossible. So, this time it was super nice when everybody decided to stay in Bratislava and we had a proper shopping spree in the city's biggest shopping mall, Aupark.

And because shopping, when done properly, is hard work we needed to fuel ourselves up before getting down to business and sushi buffet was the perfect lunch option. I have a hard core love-hate relationship with wasabi: even though it literally kicks me in the face in every mouthful I have to take more and more each time because it's just sooo good!


After lunch we were ready to roll. And I don't know if it was because of the brilliant lunch but the very first shop we stepped into provided me with the kind of skirt that I have been looking for for ages, a leather midi skirt! This spring and summer is all about bringing back the 70's (as far as fashion shows go) so this skirt is definitely in. And even if it wasn't I wouldn't care, because it's perfect.

I have also been looking for the perfect white blazer for two years now and on Saturday it finally appeared on my way. Secondly I have been thinking about buying a cover for my iPhone, but haven't found any nice ones. Until on Saturday my friend came to me with this super-sparkly cover. Perfect! I have never had such success when shopping, but one of my friends did even better: I think she got altogether 4 or 5 outfits which she can mix and match so that in the end they will count for something like 15 outfits.


On Saturday evening we had planned to go to a friend's place outside Bratislava, in Galanta. We had estimated we would leave Brati around 6pm. Fat chance due to the shopping stretching a little bit, so we actually managed to leave just before 8. But it was OK, it was going to be a slumber party anyway with wine and movies. And the cutest ever giant pug, Rocky! <3 

Perfect ending for a successful shopping Saturday included pizza, white wine and small snacks with a long and lazy morning to follow.


And this is what Rocky thought of us eating pizza and other things without sharing anything with him:

Budapest

I consider traveling to be something that has to be done either by boat or a plane. That's why for trips that can be done by a short drive avoiding customs and all inclinations that you are crossing a border I have big difficulties in remembering my passport. Unlike in Finland a drivers licence is not quite enough for an ID apparently. It almost ruined my trip to Lednice-Valtice  before we even got started. So, last week I took several copies of my passport and put them in all the bags that I could possibly take with me on a trip! So, obviously during our weekend in Budapest nobody asked for any sort of ID at any point. But anyway, Budapest, a huge capital just few hours away from Bratislava, which has been "ignored" by me for an entire year. Despite my best friend having lived there and everybody around me talking how wonderful a city it is, I have consented to just using the airport services there. Perhaps that's why I haven't taken people that seriously when

Ruisrock !

Ruisrock is a legendary music festival in the Ruissalo National Park by the Turku archipelago. It is actually one of the oldest music festivals in Europe and it still sells out. This year they made a new turnout record: 95 000 people! For us it’s a place for a proper weekend out with the girls and this year having artists like Pharrel Williams and Ellie Goulding performing I had to book my summer vacation so that I can make it to the festival. Instead of buying tickets for the whole three days we thought two might be just fine. And oh lord it was. On Friday we were all scattered around the city and I joined the girls who were the earliest off work. As one might already know, alcohol is a must in Finland whatever you do. So they’ve banned people from bringing their own drinks into the festival area, of course. But that’s ok, we always cope when it comes to King Alcohol! As long as the bottles and juice cartons in your bag look like they haven’t been opened, you can b
