I had two guests during the Comenius week in Ivalo. Italian Valerio arrived on Sunday and after seeing the film Ghost Rider on Monday, I and Valerio picked Spanish Marcos up from the airport. Unluckily, Marcos' luggage didn't arrive until Wednesday. I had a whale of time with the Latino boys. We were in the sleigh hill, talked about the cultures and played Finnish card games. The time with them for the host family was a little busier, but the week was very fine and fantastic. We also hung with the other guests as we met them. As Valerio had left Finland, I took Marcos to ski and to forest. The last night he taught me some Spanish. The connections between us have not stopped, because we have each other's messenger addresses. It is always very interesting and great time to have foreign guests. Try, it's a cool way to see the world.
