outdoor show

i was at this outdoor show last week.
my friend K used to work for this event and brought me in.

it was not the perfect summer weather though it was O.K.

i met an old lady who used to live in japan and came back to finland 20 years ago.
she said " i forgot japanese" but she spoke very well.
she gave me her contact and we exchaned a few emails already.
how nice!

i like writing emails and letters.
letters are specially nice to send and to receive.

some months ago, i met an old gentleman on the train to my studio.
he run into the train and sat across from me. he looked around as if he was making sure if he got on the right train. then he asked me " is this going to kirkkonummi?" he asked me in swedish but i somehow understood so i answered him back in finnish and he spoke me back in finnish.
then we talked little bit of this and that. then we changed our language to english.
he spoke his hobby. as he is almost same age as my grandmother, he recalled me my grandfather.

at the end, he gave me a book that has an article of him.
he wrote my name and his name and address on the book.
during this summer, we have exchanged 3 letters.

treasure every encounter, for it will never recur...yes, in deed.
