Trains at the station.
Boarded train H at the Central Railway Station, traveling at a speed of average 138km/h, we reached Jokela around 40 minutes.
Houses in the country side.
Infront of Pavel's house.
There were crackers, hot dogs, pizza, red wine and cola served. While chatting away the Finnish culture, we barbecued the hot dogs, drinking and eating.
A feast.
Under the bright sun, it was not burning hot at all, breeze and breeze of cold wind made the environment just nice, you can't do it in Malaysia I must say.
Hot dogs, I know it doesn't look good, but it's yummy, trust me.
We were playing darts, Frisbee, balls, nothing exciting, it just shows how simple life could be in the country side of the country.
The dart board, we played the famous "Killer" game.
Then Pavel prepared the sauna, and we had a mild Finnish style sauna. Finnish sauna, basically you are cooked in a smoky and steaming room at temperature 80 degree Celsius, after that, you run out of the room, jump into the icy lake, or roll on the snow, then you go back to the hot steaming room again.
For us, we just got it till 60+ degree, and there's no icy lake or snow, but icy cold water from the shower. Cooking at 60+ degree, steam and sweat had mixed together, you can feel your eyes like popping, you begin to can't feel your limbs, feeling numb, and your heart is pounding! It's such an amazing experience.

We jumped out here for cold shower.
After the sauna, it's tea time with pizza, different kind of German and Finnish cakes and food. We talked about the life in the country, and all sorts of interesting stories.
Tea time with local cakes.
Going back late.
We had such a wonderful day, thanks to Pavel and Olga! By the way, Pavel is Russian, and he likes Malaysia so much, for him, it's paradise, what do you think?

Wow seems like you are really enjoying life there, don't fall in love with the country, else you'll be suffering when u back to Malaysia haha.
Foreign moon is always brighter mah, when we are thinking that other countries are better, they also think Malaysia is a beautiful place.
If money is not a concern, I also wish I can always have few weeks of simple lifestyle in Europe, then back to the busy lifestyle, on and off like that, how nice :)
