I Am An Old Man Now/God Eats People For Lunch

Soon after arrived I turned the quarter century page in my life. Conveniently, I was born on the same day of the same year as a Bavarian student, so there was no lack of people to attend the festivities. We had cake, and all went down and drank beer by a lake. It was a fine way to begin my stay.

Tampere is a city nestled between two large lakes, Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. Lapinkaari, the student housing building I live in, is situated wonderfully, right next to Näsijärvi, making for a wonderful place for recreation and the sometimes-desperately-needed peaceful outing. There are trails running along the lake, which are geared for cross country skiing in the winter and running in the summer. It is a truly beautiful area, as I will provide photographic evidence for when I am finally able to choose which photos to post.
