Love talking about travel and learning languages
HI,
I love talking about travel. Recently I was in Asia, I visited Hong Kong, Japan and Bangkok. In Japan I had the opportunity to travel the bullet trains. I was blown away with the speed and comfort. I also was very impressed by the technology in Japan, the grandeur of Hong Kong and the exotic, friendly warmth of Bangkok.
I am a native English and Spanish speaker. I would like to learn Italian and French. There are other languages I would like to learn farther along the way, however, Italian and French are my current goals. If you are interested in learning English from a teacher whilst teaching me your knowledge of Italian or French, please do not hesitate to contact me. Unfortunately I am not a Gold member so I will wait for your contact. Thank you.

To Sayuri Oshiro
Hello Sayuri!
Thank you for writing us back, you can write us at any time you want, so no worries ^^.
There is a few people in Finland doing kobudo, but Ina is saying she is just beginner at kobudo. She has practised little bit with bo and sai. It is very interesting hobby. Ina is also doing art, and she has pictures in internet. If you know art gallery site deviantart, Ina has a gallery there. Inas nickname is Forem. You can search her with that nickname.
The winter weather might get even bit colder in South Finland. -10 is not yet so much by our standard, when it gets to -25 or -30 it’s cold ^-^. We have good winter clothes and warm winter jackets. We do almost everything we do in summer in winter too, some of us even swim ~ ^.
You have +17-19 in winter time? That is almost our summer temperature ^^. You should come to visit in Finland. We’ll be waiting ~ ^.
In Christmas eve, we usually are with our families and eat a delicious dinner. After dinner we open presents which are from Santa Claus. In Christmas day we sometimes go to visit to our relatives
What kind of Christmas foods do you have? ^^
Waiting to hear from you again! Take care and be well!
Ina and Jaakko

Hong Kong - best time to travel? (weather)
When is the best time to travel to Hong Kong in terms of weather? When is the weather the most comfortable? I was also wondering how that affects the pollution too.

To Sayuri Oshiro!
Hello again Sayuri!
It was nice to hear about you, hope you are well? We know little about Okinawa, more history than nowdays life, because one of Inas hobbyes is karate and kobudo and she has read from Okinawa too. So we know something about Okinawas history, but only very little (and based on karate and kobudo) and we are very keen on hearing more.
Could you tell us how is the weather there? How warm is it? How you usually spend Chirstmas? When we travel to Japan Inas dream is to come to wisit in Okinawa too.
Today was snowstorm here. It rained about 20cm snow, but it was 1 celsius warm, so not really cold. In Lapland there is about -15 celsius now and later in the winter it might get to -30. If you really want to see snow, come to visit Finland in wintertime. We would be really happy to meet you! ^^. Ina thinks think snow is beautiful, especially when it’s cold outside it’s nice to be inside and drink hot tea. ^^ Jaakko doesn’t like cold. Best place to see a lot of snow is to go to Lapland. There is flights to Rovaniemi city, which is in North Finland. But even in South Finland you can see a lot of snow sometimes.
We live in Espoo, which is near the capital Helsinki in South Finland. Normally in winter there is only -10 or -15 celsius, which is not so much by our standarts.
Take care! Waiting to hear about you soon!
Ina & Jaakko

From Finland to Sayuri Oshiro!
Hello Sayuri!
Nice to hear from you. We are happy to tell you anything about Finland, so please just ask whatever comes to your mind ^^.
I have to say I don't know about that tooth thing, but it might be true, because we have good dentists and little kids go yearly to schooldentist.
Are you living in Okinawa? It's not small, but it's the only place we know have little different culture than in the main Japan. ^^ Would you tell us your islands culture too? It would be nice to hear that too! Is there snow where you live? It's winter time here and the first snow rained couple of days ago. Everything is white ^^.
Hope to hear from you soon,
take care!
Ina & Jaakko
