| Here is one corner of the room. Notice the presence of yellow. Notice also that I have done my best to cover it up. :) | |
 |
And here is another corner. I decorated with maps, photographs, and postcards. They take up very little room while packing, and the room is much more interesting with junk on the walls. |
| The best part of my room is the picture window. One October morning, I am up with the sunrise (which is not that early in the morning, by October). |  |

Finland is a beautiful country to live in, especially when the sun shines. Colors seem to burst from everywhere, and even the most morose individual is likely to crack a smile. |
| By December, snow has begun to fall, and the view from my window changes. |  |
 |
This is when it's nice to stay inside with a cup of coffee and a picture window! |
