Turku day

The top photo was so dark and I tried to brighten it up quickly. That'swhymessy...

I had school trip to Turku. I wen't there with two history curses's students. We left 7.15 from school and were back at 5.45 probably. I wore blue dress with black cardigan and black hat.

I got idea to this outfit from Dara's Missing you MV and live outfits and Risako Sugaya's outfit in Motto zutto isshoni itakatta MV outfit. Yeah, I don't have as pretty dresses or as big hat, but hey I said I was inspired by these outfits. I was actually pretty satisfied with my outfit yesterday. But I really wish I could find some more pretty dresses. 

So I spent day in Turku, which is at the coast of South-Finland. It wasn't nearly  as cold as at middle of Finland. But still the sea air kind of felt cold. 

First we visited at Turku's cathedral. Our teacher told us some things about how the history can be seen in this church and other things like that. The church is actually pretty big. I was surprised. It's biggest church I have visited in Finland. Of course this church is little when it's compared to Notre dame, which is the biggest church I have ever visited.

Inside the church was really pretty, and especially I liked the sealing.

After that we visited Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova museum. It's theater of history and contemporary art. We only visited the history part. There were some ruins that people had dig up from ground. They were building up exhibition so there wasn't that much to see at the moment. But it was still quite nice.

After the museum we had hour and 20 minutes free time. We went to eat with my friend to a Chinese restaurant. Then we spent time by looking place to buy ice cream. Luckily we found it before we run out of time and we didn't miss our buss. 

Lastly we visited Turku's castle. Last time I visited there I was probabyl seven years old. It was really nice. I think it was really interesting and exciting to visit here after such a long time. We got little tour around the castle. Well we didn't have enough time to go around the whole castle. But we looked some rooms that were furnished as 1500-1600 years style.

The day was pretty nice. I bought these things to my  family as souvenirs. 

I gave the Fix a bad haircut for my bold dad...

They are little boxes that included chewing gum. The boxes were pretty cool and funny so that's why I bought them. They include fresh mint, fruit and also cinnamon chewing gum. The cinnamon was pretty odd taste for a chewing gum. 

The end of week has been pretty easy. The Turku trip was nice off day from school. Although I was exhausted when I got home. Today we had short day at school and Finland's independence day is tomorrow, and we have the whole day actually free.

I hope everyone will have fun this coming Friday!
