Goodbye Finland

I had to leave Finland. Actually I had to leave all Schengen countries which is most of Europe. My residence permit expired. I didn't find a job I wanted so I didn't get a work permit which would have allowed me to stay. I didn't get a job because I didn't have a work permit. That's the crappy catch to working in Europe for a non-EU citizen like me. I am now back at home in San Mateo. It is bitter sweet to come home since I left friends and someone very special behind.

I took some random pictures in the last week before I left.

Goodbye apartment

Goodbye silly supermarket where NOTHING is on sale

Goodbye low afternoon sun and untouched snow

Goodbye cool skies

Goodbye frozen lake

Goodbye Sanna. I hope to see you soon.

I think having to leave Finland due to permit issues is...
