Then some more old Finnish history. There was bear's claw and tooth (used in spells), magic pouch and old photos. Bear was very feared and respected in old Finland. Actually so feared and respected that people didn't even say it's real name so they came up with another name. None doesn't know what bear was originally called since bear is the "nickname".
Then real old Finnish house. It had been transported from the old Finnish house which you can see in the old photos in this photo set.
It was only this small, dark room with low ceiling, 2 long benches, a bed, oven (which was flat on top so that people could sleep there too - because they did) and 3 windows. No electricity or chimney. Only light came from those 2 thing wood pieces which were lit up.
Sis said there had been a carpet and set dinner table but apparently people hadn't been able to keep their hands to themselves (no touching on items) or the room was too small / too full to move so the staff had removed those.
It was fascinating to really see how people lived back then. I've seen some in old movies but only when you get to experience it like this, you really get the picture.
In another section of the museum was history about Finland. They even had a replica of a bow which we tried :D it was awesome. Sis and I found out that in this area, where we have lived basically our whole lives, people have lived here already 8400BC! Damn, that was mind blowing and fascinating!
Went to do lovely shopping trip with sis today. I'm gonna keep this short so I'm just gonna say: I ate THE BEST eggbutter sandwich EVER in my life at Muji! Like ridiculously delicious, made in Japanese way. I also had Japanese strawberry cake.
And then I went in Cybershop. I wanted to go see what there is since I rarely get there. Less than once a year. I spotted this hat, tried it on and BANG! It was me! Price tag said 12 euros but at the cashier the price was 5e! :D Very nice discount!
All in all, VERY good day! I feel incredibly happy, like never before! <3
Look at these darlings <3
Today was so lovely day after weeks of stress, anxiety, depression, fear etc.!
At first I wasn’t going to go with mom to visit my uncle (her brother), but then I saw a post on Facebook which, literally, said; “Go. You will experience wonderful things in good company.” So I thought; “Okay, why not?”
And it really was such a lovely trip! We had such a good time! Uncle had made pizza with smoked salmon (GOD IT WAS GOOD!) and as a dessert we had 2 different ice creams!
Uncle also has 2 dogs, but now there was 3 since he, with his spouse, were babysitting this third dog. It was so lovely to sit on the floor and pet them all! Especially this third dog. She CONSTANTLY was near me, right next to me and I kept petting her. If I removed my hand even for a second or stopped, she looked at me and barked once :’D She really knew how to pull my strings, ahah! But she was adorable!
Anyway, after mom and I left, it was raining with very nice sunset which created double rainbow on the sky! After that, after driving a short moment, we saw a moose standing right next to the road on small field, face towards the road. It was beautiful! It was either female or young one. But know that I love moose! So seeing one, on this day, was so wonderful! I also checked what moose’s spiritual message / meaning is - and it was SO SPOT ON! I couldn’t had been happier.
In a car, after getting closer to our destination, I said to mom; “It’s sad radio hasn’t played any Billy Idol. it would had been nice cherry on top of the cake.” I waited and waited and waited, but no. No idol... Until we came right at the edge of this small farm town where mom lives. THEN radio played Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell”! God, I was so happy! I was giggling and jumping, ahaha! I actually was listening the commercials, thinking; “Now, Billy Idol.” and there it came, haha!
But, God, all in all - extremely lovely and wonderful day! I’ve been worried and stressed about employment office worker meeting on Wednesday so much that this, really, came in a perfect time. This was very needed positive boost! <3
Also, here’s few pics about the girls ~
(Left -> Uncle’s dog. She’s a mom. Middle -> Uncle’s dog’s daughter. Right -> “babysitted” one, the one who was constantly right next to me, demanding to be petted :D)

Went to Tennoji temple area today and it was lovely! And there was 2 ponds with turtles (red ear slice, sorry if the name is wrong) of all age and size! I'll post more pics later!
