Met you as a stranger
Took you as a friend
Hope we meet in Heaven
Where friendship never ends!!

Normally i add quite much pictures of the people i know and especially who are in my blog as birthday special! But im sorry i dont have picture of her when she lived here in Finland!

Once a year I get the chance
To wish you birthday cheer.
It pleases me no end to say,
I wish you another great year.

 So happy birthday to you Sahar,
From the bottom of my heart.
And may your good times multiply,
Till they’re flying off the chart!

My Short Trip To Tampere

Tampere is a city in southern Finland. It is the most populous inland city in any of the Nordic countries. I was there for only 3 days but it was great! It is one of the beautiful places i have ever seen. Even though it was cold and snowy but it was still beautiful. Tampere is one of the towns that still preserve their buildings, so most of the buildings looks amazing!!!
