I have found my second slow train

Leaving home was tough but leaving Slow Train may have even been worse. Slow train was this local coffee house in Oberlin (I suggest that ever one goes there and buys a vegan chocolate cookie. Also, while you are buying it, find out the recipe and send it to me. Do it. Please.) It is a wonderful place at all times of the year. I would always sit by the window and look out onto the lovely hustle and bustle of Oberlin (and of course Charles Martin Hall's house... long story.)

The morning of when I flew out I went and had a cup of coffee, vegan cookie, and blueberries there to help leaving be easier.

Long story short: Slow train was my little place away from the world.

So one of my personal goals upon arrival was to find a new slow train- a place where I can go alone and just think.

Now I am very picky when it came to being the right place and of course I could find somewhere better. But I was so dead set to find the right place. I was starting to get a little discouraged, especially after two months of going to a lot of coffee houses. Then I out of the blue it was there. Some wonderful friends for school met up with for coffee and we hit up a few places, but the last one was this little joint on the third floor of an old building in Senate Square. You would have never known it was up there. I don't even know the name!

It was modern looking but had the correct atmosphere it needed. I wish I could explain but I was just very comfortable.

 Fall is here and all the colors are either orange or yellow. All the shade of them of course!

this is Heikki. We are good friends but I still don't think he knows my real name... he calls me American. 

coffee house 1: Pretty but not perfect

Now cafes are everywhere. As you know Fins love coffee, sauna, and Mumi. Cafes here are so "European Fancy" as I would call it. But this one is different and It was nice to just sit and smile. 

They also have free wifi... so thats cool. (more blogging from the center)
