On Sunday morning I already woke up at 7 am to check my whats app messages since it was already a day in Finland.. Also I couldn't sleep no more. Must have been jet lag or something. For our surprise the breakfast at the hotel was buffet and I a really nice one! They even had porridge there! :) Later on we went to drive around the city and it's small streets which most of them looked identical. We easily found one of the shopping malls called Masonville but, as we had forgotten that it was Sunday, it was still closed. We also visited my sister's hotel which was really nice from outside and inside also.

After 12 o'clock we drove back to Masonville to shop.. It had really nice stores like Victoria Secret, Carson Crew, Roots, Foot locker etc.. :) We ate there some nice wok food. Then it was time for the third game!
Before the game we posted our cheering sheets on the walls! :)
The game was against the other Canadian team West. As the previous game the day before this was an even game also! Team Finland didn't play their best but fought the game to an even score again, 6-6. Right at the end of the game West made the final score and both ended up getting one point from the game. When the game ended we watched one period of the game France - Canada East.
In the evening we went out to eat to this nice sports bar kinda place where all the waitress and waiter people had KILTS on! Then it was time to sleep! I was exhausted!
During the day we also talked about going to Detroit, but we ended up deciding not to go. :( We didn't have any good day to do that since on 31st we figured that there would be so many people coming and going between the borders and that day was basically the only option for us. And on the other hand we didn't wanna miss team Finland's games. :) :/
On Monday it was New Year's Eve!! :) Last day of the year! My dad didn't feel so well so only me and mom headed to breakfast and straight to watch game France - Finland. The beginning wasn't that good but then the girls started to play and it ended 7-1 for us! :) From there we left for shopppppiinggg and my mom was co-driver with a map and we got lost quite a few times at first... This time we went to the other mall, White Oaks, it was also big with many stores. :) Then I dropped mom off at the hotel and headed alone to Masonville since team Finland was going there to shop for a few hours. :) I spent the time mostly following my sister as she went crazy and shopped around..
First time I ate was at 5.30pm! I was so hungry and tired! From the lobby I asked things to do and places where to go in the evening, I was so excited! Well, my enthusiasm ended really fast since I fell asleep for over two hours when I was supposed to take a short nap before getting ready for heading to Victoria Park to watch the live show and the fireworks. After I was supposed to hit some bar or club for a while. So I woke up around 10 pm and I was sooo tired I just couldn't get up from my lovely big bed. I watched the New Year's Eve show from the park from tv.. Lame, I know. I didn't recover from the nap. At least I stayed awake until the year changed. Next year another try, hopefully also in Canada then!
