OK, time to tell you the reason why I had to make my first Finnish phone call yesterday. Yesterday I got a letter from the unemployment office regarding an opening for a trainee in the local tourist office. Since it's a tourist office, the ability to speak English is absolutely necessary. So I called the woman in charge of it and asked if the opening was still there. She told me to come and meet her this morning.
I had prepared myself well last night with hubby's help. I went through all the usual questions that a future employer might ask. I was surprised that the woman in charge didn't ask too many questions and then we signed a training contract right away he he he...
Above all, the experience will be PRICELESS!!! Plus getting some extra money won't hurt, right? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...
So I'll start the training on 21st July (after our car trip) and it ends at the end of August, since by then there would be less and less tourists coming. I guess in winter there will be many more tourists coming in. We'll see how it goes.
Tomorrow as usual we're going to my MIL's place and then on Sunday we must rest for the long journey ahead. Hubby has bought a GPS tracking device since we're going to visit new cities. After all, sometimes his job requires him to go to other places, so the device will be useful for him in the long run, not just for this upcoming car trip.
I'll bring my bikinis with me since there's a swimming pool in the hotel in Oulu. I bought the bikinis on a discount last year after summer was almost over, so I have never had a chance to wear them yet HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
It's gonna be SO MUCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! ;-D This is our first official holiday together after I moved to Finland (that is, after our honeymoon in November 2006!!!!), so I'll make sure to take PLENTY of pictures, okay?
