Bidding farewell seems to be the hardest thing to do

I arrive at tampere on the 30th of June. I was soooo happy to see Emmi. Initially she couldn't meet me during the day because she got a job, but her employer said that the job was cancelled last minute. So she came to pick me up. Of course I am happy that she can accompany me now but I am also sad for her because it was a very good job offer for a month.

So the first day we went to the city center for a walk. Tampere is the second/third biggest city in Finland. Mutsumi san told me that Tampere is more interesting than Helsinki. I think otherwise. Tampere seems to lack of the lively crowd as compared to Helsinki. But that doesn't matter. I stayed @ Emmi's house. Oh my god! She has such a cosy house. I want my future apartment to be like hers. Plus, she has got this amazing TV system set up by her husband. When I am back in SG, I am so gonna do that to my room.

The first night, Emmi baked pizza for me. I didn't know Pizza is so easy to make. I helped a little bit. Then the second day we went shopping, walking around park, enjoying life. I had the best sleep ever since 15th of June I think. The weather in moscow sucked so badly that I couldn't sleep properly and when I was in Helsinki, I couldn't sleep because it was so bright and I was so conscious about myself in the room for some unknown reason. I slept 12 hours although we were suppose to wake up at 9am but we woke up later. Everyday I was in the Sauna room. Oh ya... EMMI's Apartment has a Sauna room! That is sooooooooo unbelievable. It was so awesome. If I have one, I will use it EVERYDAY... then take a cold shower and sleep. I had the BEST SLEEP EVER.

So we watched 2 movies with her awesome TV system during the night (So much healthier than going to clubs/bars to drink drink drink and drink alcohol). Then comes the third day... today. I slept 12 hours again. We woke up at 12 in the afternoon, ate the lagsane we baked and then checked what time I should go to the airport tomorrow. BUT... damn... there are only 3 buses going to the airport tomorrow and the first bus is at 1pm and my flight is at 8am. So this means that I will either have to take a cab or go to the airport tonight. Of course I choose the cheaper alternative... taking a cab to the airport would cost 40 euros. Fuck no way am I gonna do that.

So we went biking around the city and I repack my stuffs etc... And then emmi and I waited for the bus to bring me to the airport. We took a few private photos (without makeup everything) and then the bus came. It was so sudden, so I was just saying good bye to her, asking her to take care and we will see each other again etc. I board the bus, shift my luggage to the nearest seat sat down and then I cried. Oh my god. I didn't cry before i bid farewell. I cried like shit after that. Just a short 5 months and we have so much memories together. Although we are going to see each other again. But I don't know when and my nose felt weird and my tears just flow out of my eyes and the guy beside me was looking at me but i don't care.

I sent her a long text and then i tried to stop crying and then it was okay. Now I am at the small tiny airport of Tampere. Only 2 people working in the airport now. Then this one guy came and told me that they are going to close the airport in 2 and a half hours. Damn... what should I do? But the guy was pretty sympathetic, he said he will see what he can do. Finally a nice Finnish guy.
