Cookie travels

I cannot count how many road trips and travels our family had enjoyed with our used car. Used car is a good option for us coz of its cheaper price compared to new ones. Our move to Europe again prompted us to buy a used car. My hubby had three cars to choose from but after the test drive, he settled for Volkswagen. We of course missed our previous Jeep coz it was spacious compared to our current car so sometimes we tend to dream about SUVs. Anyway, each used car we owned brought forth different road experiences. One of them I remembered was the tire that suddenly got distorted in shape. We had to replace it with a new one, including the other three tires to avoid similar incidents in the future. Battery is also another problem.

Used cars can be cheaper but the maintenance might become costly in the long run. So it is a good advice to do your used car research before buying one. You can start by reading articles pertaining to used cars at BuyYourCar.com. Their articles on ‘Value Of Buying A Used Car’, questions you need to ask the seller, verifying the car’s condition, making the most of your test drive, post-drive checkpoints, safe buying tips to avoid identity theft, payment scams and other frauds, and the used-car-buyers’ checklist are essential guides in buying used cars.

Was it Volkswagen?

I went to the travel agency this afternoon to inquire about Prague-Helsinki-Prague airfare. The lady who used to assist me when I booked for our trip to Stockholm was on leave today so another lady happily helped me. After a quick check at her computer, she informed me that the cheapest price is flying via Czech airlines. The airfare she quoted was 357 Euros per person. Gulp. Shocked. I was expecting their quotation to be a bit expensive but it was way too high from the airfare that I have been checking online. If I purchase online, the cheapest price at a certain date was only 82 Euros per sector per person. It was expensive she told me coz the ticket will be bought from Finland but the point of departure is in Czech Republic. Yeah I understand. So she advised me to check the price from Czech Republic as well so I can also compare. Or I better purchase it online to enjoy great savings. She also eagerly answered my question about bus fare from Pori to Helsinki. She said it would roughly be 60 Euros per person and child about 50% less. So I also need to visit the Express Bus office tomorrow to get the exact bus fare and timetable…

I had a telephone conference with my dad and mom who are in Prague right now staying with my cutie sis. We were talking about their upcoming trip to Finland. Can you figure out how much their Europe vacation costs from Asia to Prague then to Finland? Expensive is the word.

During midsummer which will be held on 19-21 June 2008, the city of Pori will be considered as the largest festival city in Finland. RMJ 2008 will rock Kirjurinluoto Arena in Pori starting on Thursday until Saturday. For those who doesn’t know what RMJ 2008 is, you can check out their official website at www.rmj.fi. Sorry folks this website is written in Finnish so if you are like me you might not understand the excitement here. But take a look at their photos at the tab ‘kuvagalleria’ and you will get an idea of what RMJ 2008 is. In short, it’s about music and fun. If you are really interested, I found an English information at last.fm. So come and join in the celebration as the top bands in Finland and foreign guests (Alex Kunnari, Jay-Z, The Rasmus, The 69 Eyes, The Hellacopters, Poets of the Fall, Apulanta, Kaizers Orchestra, Negative, Mokoma, and more) pour out their energy and music at Kirjurinluoto Arena, a Midsummer festival that fun and concert goers shouldn’t miss.
