Picking Berries

I had heard that in summer, many people go to forest or strawberry farm to pick berries. I was very curious to know how those berry trees look like and how those berries taste :-)
Finally we decided to visit Strawberry farm on a weekend. I was very surprised to see strawberry plants since those were very small plants. So many people had come with their baskets to collect strawberry. You can pick strawberries and buy it from them. While picking berries, you can eat as much as you want. :-)
After coming to office, when I told about the strawberry picking to my colleague, he showed me different types of berries available in Finland. Luckily 3 type of berries were available in our office campus. So I tasted them. One was red in color, one was in white and another was bluish black. Red ones were looking very great. We picked them for his daughter.
In next week, one of my colleague, told me that there are many blueberries nearby office campus and she likes them a lot. Often she goes to forest to pick them and these are very nutritious :-) We picked two cups of blueberries. Even I liked the taste, it´s not sweet, but little sour.
I wish I could have taken all berries snaps. I will update them later.

Paris and Switzerland trip

On 9th July 09, we started our journey to Paris and Switzerland. This was my first long trip to Europe. We were quite excited to see other part of Europe and all famous places like the Eiffel tower and the beautiful Swiss.
Before leaving we collected a lot of information about public transportation which helped a lot. Metro in Paris was very good, I felt like treasure hunt game all the time :-) Tried all possible algorithm for short cut routes for going from one station to another station :-)

View from top of Eiffel Tower was amazing :-) We visited many churches and those were beautiful as well. Each had it´s own history and art. We saw the famous Mona Lisa painting but still I did not understand why did it got so famous :-( May be I am not artist so ...

One day we went to Disney Land. We managed to visit only Disney studio where they show how they film and shunts done in the film. Apart from that there was one 4-D movie which was real fun. One person likes someone on screen and he enters into the Screen to meet her and finally somebody gives way to come out from screen. Also when there was a rain in movie, in theater we felt rain showers(water was sprinkled) :-) I liked it very much. Many of them were only for kids but people like me who loves cartoon, it´s a dream world. We tried few rides; and it was fun too.
Switzerland is very beautiful place to visit. We went to Interlaken and it´s really like paradise on earth. I liked the lake which had a unique bluish green color. I loved to watch that lake and beauty along the lake. We had gone to Jungfraujoch, which is the top of Europe. Journey from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch was amazing since most of the time train was going in steep angle :-) and through many tunnels.
the Ice palace at Jungfraujoch was ultimate :-) It was slippery too... Poor Ravi, he fell down :-(
I wish I could spend some more time in Switzerland :-) I hope that I will make one more visit Switzerland soon.
