Hello from Finland


Hello Anita!

It was very nice to hear from u..(and i know my name is a japanese woman's name..i was pretty shocked when i saw james bond kissing a japanese woman who had my name in you only live twice..and i was 6 or 7 years old..rough childhood..and aki died after a minute in that movie..) :) Kahlil took very good care of me..i got a lot of new movies and one time he even cooked for me..Yes i was sailing with Ole and we had a couple of beers but u can't really call it drinking..and i wasn't really sailing for me either 'cause i was in the boat for maybe 5 minutes.. well i ended up drinking in my first day in bangkok..ut it was because of a champions league final (football)..but still i'm proud of myself for the 2,5 weeks that i spent in haad yao..and actually i'm pretty proud of my self for the trip 'cause now i've been acting like a grown up..and i think i will for so on..

And my "mother-in-law" (and the rest of the family) only came to see me once..Kahlil translated some of the sentences to me and it was pretty scary..kahlil told that it was the same like in a butcher's shop..you know price/kilo and everything..but after that they left me alone..so i think i'm safe right now..:) The saddest thing is that i have to fly back to finland..and the flight is on next tuesday..my childhoods best friend is in hospital and his mom called me and asked if i can speak some sense to him..what i know right now that he's been drinking a lot and doing some kind of drugs..he's alright but they will keep him in rehab until 1st of june..when were 9 years old i was with him all the time and it lasted until we were 16 or something..so we have this special bond and i hope he will listen to me..and he will..he will get a dugong to help him get trough.. but now to more happier things..u can put everything you want from this email to your guestbook..but i will send you a longer and more detailed one when i'm back in finland..

But you must know already that i had a time of life in haad yao..everything was still so pure..nothing like phuket or krabi or the other tinseltowns..and i don't even wanna start talking about the service in there..i felt like i was the only guest around :)..and the food was excellent..only bad thing about the food was that both me and ginger like fish..but i can't really blame you..by the thanks for "forcing" me to all the trips so early..otherwise i would have never seen dugongs..or atleast it would have been a lot more expensive..the bat cave was one of the scariest places i've been but i'm so glad that i went there..fishing was the only thing that i didn't do and i'm actually pretty happy about it..i could spend dayd just to listen you or the professor talking about enviroment..it was very educating for me as well.. thank you for everything..i think my life changing experience happened already in haad yao..now i know i wanna dedicate my life to help other people and the nature..first i just finish my high school so i don't feel stupid all the time.. so i have no idea what's gonna happen when i'm in finland..i feel a bit empty right now 'cause i'm in bangkok and everything is so much different..there's the loud music everywhere, a lot of people are yelling and everyone wants some money..so i don't feel like travelling anymore..but if i start my school a little early maybe i can come to see you (and help) some time..

i would be so happy if i could come back in 2 years and spend a lot more time with u..maybe even doing something else than watching movies all the time :).. i will write you again when i'm back in finland..i hope you can understand this 'cause i never wanna read my own writing..if there's something that you don't understand just ask..my english ain't good anyhow.. i hope we will keep in touch.. by the way this my longest email ever..and in english :)..

Truly yours

Aki
