Its hard to believe that we are actually leaving next sunday. Its weird that Im not yet too excited and I think Eve feels the same. Well, I suppose we realize what we are doing when we enter the airport...
We made a good deal with local newspaper, they promised to pay us little bit when we write stories from our trip. They will publish the first one this friday so all the Finns, check it out. I will paste it here also (is it legal? Its out story isn't it?) so those who are not from Valkeakoski can read it. I dont have too much to say at this time, hopefully more when we arrive to New York. Everything has gone well so far and we have lots ideas what to do in New York. Only problem in NYC is the accommodation but we have contacted few interesting people and I hope they take their chances and offer us a place to stay :) We have hostel booked for two days so we are not in urgent need of couch to stay but it would be much more cooler to sleep at someboys place than in 16 person dorm...
