Flying

Jan 2 and I am on my first intercontinental flight. Helsinki - London (England) –Toronto – London (Ontario).
A new country, a new school. An exchange for 1 semester
Honestly, it’s quite weird to finally come to a country the language of which I’ve been studying since I was 7. Hm, just out of curiosity, are there more people in Heathrow right now than in Helsinki ;)? Probably not, but still, you can breathe a huge difference.
I wonder, how much time it will take me to stop saying “kiitos” and “anteeksi” automatically  And get used to Canadian English?
So, if you happen to come to Canada, just let me know!!!
P.S.: Yesterday heard that Russia stopped supplying gas to Ukraine. Politics, politics… Let’s see what happens.
P.P.S.: It’s funny to look at people in the airport. Everyone has a small world limited to him and his friends. It all seems to be chaotic. And still, very well managed. Reminds the world. Here is a kid. Apparently, a several-hour waiting time is not for him :) He started with crying, then shouting, then, after realizing that the airport won’t stop functioning just to observe him, he decided to entertain himself. First took his ex-snowwhite hoodie, put it on his head and starting walking around. After continuous pledges from his mother, two falls and then finally losing his hoodie to his temper-losing Mummy, he decided to get to know with everyone. We are already acquaintances :) But, I guess his calmer peer is a better mate. Some travel alone, some travel with friends, some with families, some with the loved ones. There are tourists, business people, students, anyone.
