End of an Era

Now I've been in Finland for one month but still my mind wonders around the streets of Kyoto. I haven't wanted to post anything here for a while since it only highlights the fact that I'm not in Japan anymore. And thats not a happy thought...

The year I could spent there was way too uplifting to write down in words, so I'll just share some photos of my farewall party and the people I now can call my dear great friends! I hope to meet you again as soon as possible! (And all the friends that couln't come to Sarasa too:)

Me, Tatti, Kan and Tomoyama.

Linn and me with the best mango ginger ales ever! Linn du är bäst!

The always happy Lien and Ryosuke.

The awsome Kazuya and Tao.

Taiki, Keita, Koka, Orika and me. I was so super happy to be able to meet Koka and Orika before leaving!

Lien, the greatest Phu, Go, me and Ryosuke.

Fon and Mew aka T(ha)igers, The sunshines of every single day!

It was kind of difficult to fit in, but more the merrier!

Sweet seventeen party

When we arrived to our hotel in Kuta there were huge "Nadya sweet seventeen party" sign in front of us. First we were sure it must be some Australian girl having her fancy party in Bali and we already saw one group that match this image but on the next day we found out that the party was for the daughter of the place's owner. As a hotel guest we were also invited to join the party and even thou at daytime the decorations seemed pretty corny, at night it looked very nice.

View to the pool.

Lanterns floating on the pool.

Buffet at the garden were full of sateys and other good dishes.

Fire show.
