First few days in St. Pete, FL

So, I got here finally. Tyler's place is really cool and the first thing when we stepped in the house was this cute little doggie Oliver. A Jack Russell terrier or something like that. I'm allergic to most dogs, but these don't have that much fur on them so my allergic reactions are really small. Only had one pill so far for the reactions so it's good :)

We head over to get a friend of Tyler and then go to this beach on the west side. It's just awesome over there. Sun, sea and sand baby!

Here we got a few more pictures. On up left is my first drink. I think it was called Rum Runner. So yea, it had rum and some other stuff and some juice. Really good to be honest. So I had two of those until we left and went to a place called Chili's (I think that's how it was written). Now that place was amazing! Why? Well imagine a shopping crazy female at a shopping mall... Now imagine a Finnish guy in a place where you can get 2 beers for the price of 1. Yea, I was that excited. So I had 3 sets of those (I think it was Samuel Adams beer) before we head out. I think we came over to Tyler's place, but I can't be sure to be honest. I was getting drunk at that time and it was like 4pm. I guess it was a payback time for Tyler because apparently we got him drunk the night he got to Finland as an exchange student. Glad I was kind of expecting this so no prob! Then we stopped by in places that I can't remember the names of. I was completely wasted. Got back home and woke up on Tuesday morning around 10am with a hangover like never before.

So what has stuck into my mind so far from this place...
- everyone seem to be in love with their phones and Facebook. It's a "beep" here and there when they get messages from friends.
- SUN!
- mornings are a bit chilly, but if you step out from the shadow to the sun, it's warm. Kinda natural, but yea... It's warmer outside.
- Bobby's awesome but friggin' insane!
- wine, beer, video games, friends... awesome!
- Tyler's apartment, awesome!
- Oliver, damn sweet dog. I will teach him Finnish and make him forget English.
- the streets are so damn simple. In Finland you need to know where something is. Here it's for example 5th avenue, 24th street... It's like finding a spot from a grid with numbers. Go sideways to 24th street and to 5th avenue up or down.
- SUN! NO SNOW! \o/
- cars are so shiny over here
- very nice people all around

Once I'm more used to this place, I will probably have the guts to go out by myself, but so far I don't mind just staying in and catching up with stuff online.

More updates to come so stay tuned!
