I arrived to Finland in the late evening of 26th and I have been pretty busy. My parents had bought a new computer and I was setting it up and helping them with it. I also visited some of my friends and relatives. So, I haven't had any problems spending these couple days. On Sunday I will fly back to Budapest.

I am now spending my Christmas in Miskolc. Here is no snow and weather is not too cold. Also I haven't seen Santa Claus anywhere yet. I will go to Finland for couple days on 26th and I hope there I will see some signs of snow.

In Hungary tons of food products have been repacked and their dates have been changed for selling them again. Among those were jam, muesli, chocolate, dairy products and several others.

Sort of disgusting news for me.

As weather was rather okay today we decided to have a walk. First we went to Moszka tér where we took a bus 21 to Normafa. It is something like 15 minutes drive outwards from city center. On the way uphill one can spot some nice houses belonging to wealthier people of Budapest.

At Normafa we were not alone as there were families and friends enjoying fresh air. We were prepared with hot tea in my thermos can so cold weather was not able to put us down. So we walked around in the forest and visited also some sights there. Definitely it was a good decision to go there.

It is already early December and it is hardly cold in Budapest. I haven't had any reason to wear my winter cap or gloves. Also in southern Finland there is hardly any snow. It is easy to check using the road camera service.

There has been constant discussion about global warming and such. But last winter was much more snowy in Finland at X-mas time. Has it just changed in one year? Well, it remains to be seen but I want to have snow when I go there soon!
