芳草心

太美了！看到芬兰的秋天，我真的被震撼了，在我们开车去森林公园采莓子的路上，我一路上惊讶得呼吸不匀，所见之处，色彩斑斓，红色，黄色，橙色，绿色，褐色，深深浅浅，斑驳错杂。。。。芬兰语甚至有一个特别词来总结这种秋天的色彩：“RUSKA”，语言的表达真的太苍白无力了，所有的这些词语都不足以表达出这里的秋天之美，特别是当你置身其中，一尘不染的空气能保证你看得很远，看到起伏的农田和森林，看到满眼的色彩斑斓的树，看到纯净的湖面，看到湖面的倒影，看到湖中间长满了树的小岛，看到湖对面，一直看到地平线，看到天边的云，好远啊！

通常情况下我都会疯狂拍照，但是这次我发现我的相机远不足以表达出这里的美，不想让我的照片辱没芬兰的秋天；再说我没有时间拍照了，每换一个角度我都在心底不停地惊叹。一句话说吧，这里的美已经超越了我的全部想象，超过了我见过的所有美图！大熊说这种景色对他们来说太平常了，年年如此，处处如此，只要你在芬兰生活，每年都见得到这些。我对他的不以为然已经彻底无语了。

每当我看到这些，我就在心里想怎么才能描述这些，好让我的父亲、母亲、兄弟姐妹、每个我在心底很在意的人，能明白这里到底有多美呢？很想让你们来看看，特别特别想跟你们分享，让你们知道我心里的感觉。每当这个时候，就特别的想你们。

现在我还不知道到底哪个季节是芬兰最美的，上次来的时候，我看到了冬天，我一个人流连在雪地里，常常一呆就是几个小时，冬天的美很梦幻，像童话，像梦境，真的是让我流连往返啊。芬兰人最喜欢夏天，据他们说夏天才是最美的；我也猜得出春天到来时的美丽。。。真的希望你们能看到芬兰的每个季节！

I am shocked by the beautiful Finland autumn! We were driving to the forest for some lingon berries. At last I didn’t care about how much lingon berries we could get at all. I was almost screaming all the way in the car. It was just not possible to describe this with any language, and my camera couldn’t tell how beautiful it is either. There is even a special word in Finnish, I just learned it yesterday. It is RUSKA, it describes the colors of autumn, and the leaves turn bright red, yellow, gold and brown. It is just much better than all my imaginations, and all the pictures I have ever seen! You just can always see a breath-taking picture whenever you look back or your car moves to another place! The clean air makes you can see the lakes and trees faraway, you can see the other side of the lake, you can see the horizon, you can see the cloud in end of the sky….

Wish my parents and all my sisters and brothers and every one whom I care can see this, wish you know how I feel, wish you know how beautiful the world can be, and wish I could share this with you!

I don’t know which season is the most beautiful one by now, last time I saw the winter, it was so white and clean like a dream, like a fairy tale, I was playing in the snow for hours every day. Finnish people enjoy summer the most, I believe it is beautiful, and I am sure that the spring time will be breath taking again. I am looking forward to seeing those. Love my life!

今天是芬兰的全国哀悼日，原因是昨天校园枪手枪击造成10人死亡，枪手开枪自杀。11人死亡，举国哀悼，降半旗。。。

It is the national mourning day for Finland; the reason is that a shooter killed 10 people and himself in a school. 11 people died, all the national flags half mast for them…..

米可的Ipod 存了一些中文歌，其实他听不懂，可能只是想感受一下中文歌好玩的感觉吧。《不怕不怕》是其中一首，有一句歌词是：“遇见蟑螂，我不怕不怕啦，我神经比较大……” 有一天他摇头晃脑地用“米氏发音”跟着唱：“我不怕不怕啦，我神经”………….. 完了，“比较大”跟不上了…………还在毫不知情地臭美呢，呵呵，“我神经”。。。。

Miikka has some Chinese songs stored in his Ipod, actually he doesn’t know the word’s meaning so well, maybe he just like to enjoy the feeling of Chinese songs. bu Pa bu Pa  is one of them, one sentence is like this :” wo bu pa bu pa la, wo shen jing bi jiao da”  which means ” i am not scared, i am very brave” one day while he was playing it on TV, he sang along with it like this ” wo bu pa bu pa la, wo shen jing……” then he couldn’t follow for more, just stopped there, “wo shen jing” means ” i am silly “. hehe, and he didn’t even know what did he just sang, just kept shaking his head and enjoyed…..hehehe, wo shen jing

怎么也开不了电视了，所有的按钮按了一遍，就是没有电视画面！！！！ 后来连声音也没有了，只看见dvd在转，再后来就只能看Apple TV了，最后我就只看见电视机了。。…所有的菜单都是英文的，甚至还有的是芬兰语的，在国内我连中文的都搞不明白啊；折腾了半天，后来是在忍不了了，只好电话Crazy Cat，发了一通牢骚，不好意思啊。。。

不明白电视为什么需要7个遥控器，每个遥控器上有两万个按钮，要遥控机器人吗？至于嘛,我不过就想看看电视！

本来不敢些上来的，怕给人笑话俺菜鸟。。。在Crazy Cat 的撺掇下写上来了，别笑啊！俺已经很郁闷了,从来对这些东西就没脑子的。。。  

I could not turn the TV on… tried all the buttons, some time i couldn’t see picture, some time i couldn’t hear the sound, at last i just could only see the TV set…. don’t understand, i just want to watch TV, why do i need to use so many romoters, it is enough for controling a robot… and the lists are in English even in Finnish   

called Crazy Cat and complained, hehe, she said i was in the same level as some old ladies…. yes, i am just a countryside girl, playing in the forest can be more easier…

很好的户外游戏啊，第一次玩这个时候我们跟朋友一起带着“宝藏”,开船差不多半小时，到了一个湖中间的无人小岛上，把宝藏藏到了一棵大树上，我们的朋友爬到了5米高的地方（好不容易才爬上去啊），把盒子绑到了树上，哈哈。又在岛上的一个大石头下藏了另一个盒子。

昨天我们（三个大人，两个孩子）花了几个小时的时间找到了9个“宝藏”，其中前三个我们可是翻山越岭才找到的，GPS定位系统帮我们找到宝藏的方位，好精确啊，居然可以定位具体到一棵树或者是一个大石头上。

这个游戏在中国也有人玩啊，我们发现在黄岛银滩有一个藏宝点，准备下次回国的时候去找一下，另外在青岛市区也有一个哦

我们的寻宝定位工具navigator

我们到了小岛上we are on the island

爬这么高可是不容易啊！not easy to climb that high!

宝藏在小孩子才能爬进去的地方the little one can climb deeper inside the cave

小孩子对交换宝藏很感兴趣children

饿了，烤个肠吃吧 cooking sausages

居然有人藏这么大的宝！一箱书！the biggest cache!

继续寻找 keep searching

地上长着很厚的苔藓 the lichen is soooo thick!

顺手摘点莓子吃！ got some berries!

头顶的天空 the sky

再来点美景 forest and lake

今天是中秋节了，我们参加了一个中秋聚会，吃了月饼，还是挺有气氛的，特别是月饼、灯笼、还有很多中国人，这些中秋元素一个都不少啊！在一群中国人中间，米可在芬兰又当了一回老外，哈哈！

祝我的父母家人老师同学朋友们中秋愉快，身体健康，万事如意，每逢佳节倍思亲，我很想念你们！

看看中秋的灯笼吧，上面写着“海内存知己，天涯若比邻”很有中国味的。对了，我还拍了一个“外国的月亮”，让我们一起“千里共婵娟”。。。。。

We attended a Mid Autumn Festival party, there were mooncakes, Chinese lamps, and many Chinese people, Miikka was a laowai there in Finland! Haha!

best wishes to my family and all the friends, have a nice Mid Autumn Festival, I miss you, specially in the special day!

See the pictures of the lamps and the full moon!

今天出门，看着路边的野花，忍不住又采了一些，拿回家插了两瓶（确切的说是两可乐杯）。 很快天就冷了，没得采了。

i got more flowers on my way home today. soon the flowers will die in winter , wish they could be there for ever 

“千湖之国”的湖（lakes of Finland, the country of thousands of lakes)  the blue and clear lakes reminds me a Chinese song about Norway forests, which talks about the clear lake, bright moon, quiet and peaceful air…

我想起了《挪威森林》的歌词：
那里湖面总是澄清 
那里空气充满宁静
雪白明月照在大地
藏著你最深处的秘密

再贴几张花草的, 最后一张花瓶里的花是我采的“路边的野花”啊，这边的野花太多了，不采白不采啊。

so many flowers, i love wild flowers, and i picked some of them

  

秋天已经到了，有些树叶已经变黄变红了，很期待看见街边的枫树全都变红啊，在这里只要看得见天空的时候，都是“瓦蓝瓦蓝”的，空气很干净，能见度很高的，高层建筑又很少，我经常很清楚的看见远处天空变化多端的云和地平线的啊。不过这里的秋天好像下雨比较多啊，在中国，秋天应该是干燥的季节，“秋高气爽”嘛!

Autumn is coming, leaves are turning yellow slowly, i am looking forward to see the red maple trees. the sky is always blue here, the air is so clean, i can even see the horizon in the countryside! but it rains sometimes, in China, autumn is a dry season…..

Weekend in summer cottage

    This is the first time I slept in the summer cottage, it is a little wood house to me, so cute… only two little beds and a little table inside, Miikka and I need to bend down every time when we got into and out it. Every thing is made of wood, the walls, roof, tables, chairs, bed, almost everything, except the blankets and foods   we were living in the real forest. Very pretty mushrooms decorate the mini wood house, they are so colorful and lovely but poisonous. I heard the lake water hitting the shore at night, smelt the wood all the time, saw swan neighbors in the lake… I was expecting to see the woodpecker bird, Miikka said he had been waken up by the woodpecker in the morning, but this time it didn’t show upL. I grew up in countryside, and in Finland the countryside girl is back to her childhood…..

    Being close to the nature is so luxury thing in China specially in big cities, but in Finland, you can get it easily. We just walked to the field, picked some vegetables and some berries, and then ate them with or without cooking; we went to sauna, and then jumped into the lake, although it was a little bit too cold to me J

    Oh, another thing amazed me, when we droved back home from the summer cottage, passed by a farm, Miikka stopped the car, we went to the farmer’s house to buy some tomatoes, I found that nobody was there helping to weight and taking money. We just took the tomatoes and weighted, and then put money into a box. it was so nice! Same things also in the supermarket, you just take the stuff, then put the label on the bag by yourself. This is unbelievable! So lovely honest Finnish people! No wonder that Finland is one of the most incorruptible countries in the world.

小木屋里的周末

    周末我们去了米可父母家的度假木屋过周末，这是我第一次在木屋里睡觉，我和米可是在一间独立的迷你小屋里，那叫一个小啊，我们一定要弯下腰才能出来进去，里边只有两张小床，应该叫“迷你床”吧，呵呵。里面什么东西都是木头做的，墙壁，屋顶，地板，桌椅，床，镜框，门把手，全是木头的。晚上睡在里边，听得见湖水拍岸，毕竟小屋外一米半的地方就是湖了，拉开窗帘就看得见；白天还能看见天鹅，傍晚的时候我们看见天鹅在湖面上飞，听说这一家天鹅跟他们做邻居已经有几年了。屋外有很多蘑菇，有的颜色很漂亮，唉，搞不懂为什么漂亮的东西往往有毒呢 L。本来很期待看见啄木鸟，可惜这次它没现身，米可说有时候他会被烦人的啄木鸟的声音一大早吵醒呢。

    大自然就是这么触手可及，想想在中国特别是在大城市，这可是挺奢侈的事呢。米可爸妈在园子里种了一些蔬菜和花，还有一些苹果、黑莓、薄荷什么的，我们常常洗都不洗，摘下来直接往嘴里送。桑拿烧80到100度（注意是摄氏度啊）了，我们一起进去，感觉热了的时候，就跳进十三四度的湖水里，尽管这次不是钻冰洞，但感觉还是很冷滴。。。不过从冰冷的湖里出来十几秒以后，感觉就很爽了，就像以前冬天在北方玩过雪以后，手反而感觉热热的。今年1月在芬兰的时候，我曾经很勇敢的跳进冰洞里过，然后在雪地里打个滚，冷了就钻进100度的桑拿屋里，真的是冰火两重天的感觉啊。对中国人来说，洗桑拿更挑战的一点是大家都是全裸的。。。。所以。。。在芬兰洗桑拿的时候，男女老少，大人，孩子，胖的，瘦的，都是“坦诚相见”的，小孩子们也光着屁屁跑来跑去，连二三十岁的大“孩子”还当着爸爸妈妈的面露屁屁，还到处走来走去，呵呵，第一次见的时候，确实很震惊的。。。这时候大家都不能有邪念啊，在芬兰洗桑拿可是很纯洁很神圣滴。很郁闷的一点是，桑拿到了有些国家就变成了色情活动L呵呵

    还有一点很好玩的，我们开车从他爸妈的木屋回家的时候经过一个农场，停下来买一些西红柿，没想到这里的农民居然就把各种东西摆在一个没人也没锁的小屋子里，我们自己挑好了，称好了，根据他们贴出来的价钱把钱放进盒子里就行了，整个过程没人看守！可爱的农民伯伯还在小屋里摆设了很多漂亮的小泥猪啊，小泥牛啊什么的，真不知道他们怎么那么有闲情逸致。市区的超市也是一样，挑选好自己要的东西，自己称重，装袋，贴价格签，没人给你称好了以后用价格标签封得袋子密不透风的。哈哈，什么叫做民风淳朴啊，我猜这就是！难怪芬兰在世界上最廉洁的国家排行榜上排名第一啊，在这种地方，贪污腐败简直是不可思议的事。
