Pori Jazz!

This Friday we had a road trip to Pori (coastal city in Finland) as there was Pori Jazz, International festival that is every year during July. We were not going to the festival concerts but enjoyed the Jazz street and a free concert and the atmosphere. The weather was not so nice, and it started raining while our visit to the street. Luckily we got these nice pink raincoats for free!

A bit later we went to the Yyteri beach. Yyteri is famous for its beach as it is big and the dune area is unique because of its size (even in Europe scale). It was almost freezing (+16? maybe)but of course we needed to go for a swim while we were there! Crazy Finns! We were almost the only ones swimming, only couple of people were as brave as we were.

I just really like the place as it is so beautiful and something you don't see every day! I hope that next week the weather would be better! I miss Poland and the warm weather...

What I like in Poland? 3.Prices!

Time to continue the series about things that I like in Poland. The Prices are lower in Poland compared to some other European countries, in my case Finland. Everything is cheaper: living, shopping, food, entertainment, everything! I understand that for Poles the situation is different as they earn in zlotys and in relation to the prices. I still feel that the prices are way more cheaper for me.

I almost got an heart attack last week when I went to the Finnish supermarket. Everything was so expensive compared to what I have got used to during the time in Poland. For example in Poland I bought 3kg strawberries and it was 14zl (3,20e), in Finland I saw that strawberries costed 4 euros per one liter. Another heart attack!

Here are still some pictures from our summer cottage week, now starts my summer reality and work!

We went fishing and got this small pike, too small for our table so we let him back to the waters

Great picture by my brother!

Strawberry cake!
