Prelude: epic failing

So I started my journey by going to my friend's birthday party&midsummer celebration to Kokkola which is around 250 kilometers from my home. I had a great time with bunch of friends there and was about to go to Helsinki with one of my friends' car ride. On the way to Kokkola from Helsinki one of the tires in their car had broken down and they had to struggle the rest of the trip with a spare wheel. But they got a proper replacement tire in Kokkola thanks to our host friend's father.

So we headed towards Helsinki yesterday when after 100 kilometers of driving we noticed ANOTHER tire had broken down. So we had to change the car's spare wheel with the broken one and try to manage with that setup. But as somehow expected, all the tires of that car were on the verge of breaking down so of course the third wheel started to act up too and our trip came to a halt. We had to leave our car somewhere between Seinäjoki and Jalasjärvi. Then our friend picked us and we tried to board the last train bound from Seinäjoki to Helsinki BUT of course it was already fully booked by that time. So what we decided to do was to head over to our friend's place (who lives near Seinäjoki) and sleep the night over there, he got us a deal for a set of wheels with a fairly cheap price.
So today we woke up, got the spare set of tires and headed over to the place we had left the car to change the tires. The tires were luckily a match (they were previously from a different car than the one we had) and we finally could continue towards Helsinki. I finally arrived to my ex apartment in Helsinki and tomorrow I'm gonna go buy some souvenirs. Then the day after tomorrow it's finally time to fly to Japan!
