I spent an amazing weekend in Turku, Finland, where I used to be a university student three and a half years ago.
Why was it so wonderful? Going back to a place where you had had a life, is supposed to be a little disappointment, probably because you expect the same experiences.
However, I basically had no expectations, and I got some more challange: to make two of my friends get to know each other. So I spent all my time with them, we had a really good time in the evening, with sauna, talking, two more czech girls appeared, and then the local pub with some more beers, freezing cold, old memories.
And the next day, waking up early, around midday, I went to the city alone and I was just hanging around my favourite places, remembering the good memories and enjoying the sunny moment at the same time. The bank of the Aurajoki, the bookshop, the Café Art, with the best café of Finland (and that's quite a big deal), the library, the Yliopistonkatu (the walking street), the Art Museum and so on.
And then Zuza and Evren joined me, we had some drink, and instead of doing something crazy (as I suggested several times), with my hangovered friends we just caugth a local bus that they have been guessing where it is goes, and had a sightseeing tour to Hirvensalo.
And then I had to catch the ship back to Stockholm, and of course I was so lame with the check in, and that was it... it was soo good. I cannot be thankful enough for the company, for the supporting, for the time they had given to me. And of course we are very-very-very different, in many aspects of life - but it doesn't matter.
What matters are the similarities.
