Shin is a 21 years asian, and she's now in Finland. I haven't figured out where is she from in Asia or what is she doing in Finland, cos her blog is written in one of those beautiful Asian languages, which I keep telling myself to learn. When I was a foreigner, once in Berlin and after that in England, I enjoyed the state of a foreigner. Being different, looking different, seeing different. It's liberating in many ways. I love Shin's blog because it reminds me of my own experiences.Monday, December 10, 2007

I like your view of being a foreigner as liberating. Most write about isolation. You captured the other side: freedom in standing apart and seeing from a fresh angle.
Your photos and small details carry the mood across languages. The rhythm of your post made me curious about life in Finland.
Your words brought back my own time abroad. Difference felt like space to breathe.
