Tickets to fly

And then one day, the girl bought flights with the return date three months ahead. Now, I know I said I'd be buying a one-way ticket, but those bastards cost as much as return tickets! Buying a one-way ticket would be romantic of course, but since I know around when I need to be back in Finland, and since airlines have been getting their fair share of my money lately anyway, I decided to be practical about it. But one day, my friends, one of these days...

Booking the flights calmed me down. Now I have a set time, and by then I simply have to be ready with everything. It'll be great to change the scene completely, I've had such a hectic winter and getting away from my everyday surroundings will help me unwind. And man, do I need to unwind!

So, what kind of scene will I be going to? A pretty nifty little scene, I would say. Malmö is Sweden's third largest city, and has around 290 000 inhabitants. Still, especially the central parts are really easy to grasp. It's an old city, and you can definitely tell by the pretty houses around the centre. (I happen to loooove old, pretty houses!) It's quite a vivid city, too. Malmö is an old industrial city, but lately it's been striving to become known as a cultural city. From what I know, they've done a pretty good job, too. The comics scene definitely seems to be booming, and there's even a new festival on the way. All in all, it's a really nice city with a lot to offer.

It's pretty, don't you agree? These pictures were taken last autumn, during my fateful trip to Malmö. They don't exactly fit with the present season, but so far I don't have any summer pictures from Malmö. That'll change soon, though! A week from now, I'll be posting brand new pics from summery Malmö. Ooh the joy!

Oh, and I suppose I need to start packing. Three months and 20 kilos, let's see how that works out...
