Book Review: Nature in Finland 2010 - Tarmo Lampinen

I order this book last month, sometime near my birthday.. 

How did i ended knowing this book?
  • Tarmo Lampinen is an awesome friend, a super kinerd, Kina's "adopted" brother, and of course an awesome photographer.. He tweeted some of his photos, and also post it on fb.. Those were really interesting.. He also had a website, which i forgot the link (note to my self: ask him!), contained more than 100 pictures, of birds, mushrooms, plants, and scenery..
How did i ended buying this book?
  • The money from this book's sale will go to his trip to Kinacon (in LA! And I also wanted to go!! But, i guess, i'll go next year!).. oh.. I also had some extra money at that time.. I know the book will be fun.. And Tarmo will definitely enjoy meeting his adopted family, and other Kinerds :)
  • I actually thinking of giving this to my sister.. But, after I had it, I know there is an oldddd friend of mine, who will love it more than my sister.. He's been nice to me, i guess it's time to send him something :)
The story behind it's arrival..

I was waiting for Kina's stairwell package.. (order here: www.kinagrannis.com) If you haven't order, you should! It's super lovely, I had id replayed several times already!
Back to the story, I got a notice from post office yesterday, and i thought wooww.. stairwells finally here!! Then I remember my friend sent me something from Mexico.. So I was expecting either one of this.. excited.. yay.. I rush to the post office, lined up, and face the lady there.. She saw my card, and say "well, didn't you see the word here .. AVAILABLE TOMORROW.. so come back tomorrow, at this time".
Sighhh.. >_<
Then the next day, got a class till 13:00.. Had lunch, and I rush back to the post office..
The item finally on my hand.. I saw the sender.. US, Blurb.. Hmm I thought it should be from Kina..
What's this.. I completely forgot about this book..
I found a seat, and open the package.. the package was really big.. like around 30 cm x 40 cm!
And.. it was this cute little book :)
A bit shocking, but lovely!!
On my way back to bus, I open it.. Page by page.. reading the words, seeing the pictures.. lovely!
I chuckle a bit.. Tarmo is quite good in writing the description.. Hmm.. I wonder if people on that bus thought I'm crazy :p
Oh.. and the last page was very surprising.. A bit different from his usual style.. Curious? Buy it! LOL.. Hint: it was a photo of his friend, lovely girl, from california :)

 
 
Going to send this book to Indonesia as soon as my friend reply me with his mail address.. :)
But.. How if i send this book, and my friend ask me to buy tickets for him to go to Finland? Noooo..
