Enjoy the weekend

Hi everyone, this is Leila from Finland calling, I was BBC LE November 2007 student.

Since last Sunday when I last participated lots has happened. You may recall that I told you that I was to go to Copenhagen for few days. Well the work related trip went fine enough; I was rather tired when I got home at the end of journey just after midnight.

I see that the site has been used wildly, so many entries. I wonder if anyone can keep up with all these entries. I do hope some of you find the time firstly to read our writings and perhaps even to comment. This is a way of the virtual world.

Thank you for those of you who had seen my rather long writing from last Sunday, yes my trip to Egypt was really first-class. We had so good time and we found the voyage relaxing even though we had a very busy schedule. Going inside the pyramid was a bit scary for me, because I suffer a little about claustrophobia.

The photo below is one of my shots and it was taken two months ago against the blue Finnish sky near where I work.

I do hope your weekend is relaxing and enjoyable. Warmest regards from Leila

Hello, Leila! Is that a windmill in your picture? You are so lucky because you have a chance to travel a lot, even if it is a business trip. Do you get to do any sightseeing or you stay buried in work in your hotel room? I’d like to visit the capitals of northern Europe during summer to escape high temperatures here. Benka from Niš

Hello Leila! Nice to read you are back. And nice to know about your trips. I was in December in Turku and by the way, I felt again how nice it was to communicate with Finns face to face. I wish you and your family all the best!
