My sister's voyage to Finland

24 hours journey from Sweden to Finland, that was what my sister had told me when she returned from her voyage to Finland.
As you know that the only way to talk to her is via land line, since she is a linguistic student now days she cant get online and chat that much because of the exams that she is going through, well she is so clever the way she got the highest mark in her class and beat up the other 13 students with her...good to go sister.
Yesterday we decided to call her and find out how was her voyage along with her husband? The thing that really pisses me off every time I get to call her is the International calling cards, that card used to have 77 minutes to talk with, then after few months the minutes were reduced to 60 and yesterday as I dialed the number the damn electronic machine said: you have 58 minutes for this call!!! and not to mention the high price that we pay for those freaking 58 minutes! Any way, we should call her every now and then to get the latest updates of her life.
I dialed the number and dad is the first one to talk with her, as her husband picked up the phone dad began his conversation with him about the sea gulls, ships, islands and of course about his daughter's ethics haha..
Then dad talked to her for about 15 minutes, my step mom for about 30 minutes..grrrr I have nothing left to talk about and with!! all what left were 13 minutes...
As I got the speaker, hi sis how was your voyage? Come on hurry speak fast cuz am running outta minutes!!
She talked about the food and the markets that she went to, ahhh Gosh I was dropping my jaw low and lower just like a baby when sees something interested in!! I closed my eyes and imagined the places that she was describing...she said: Don't worry when you will open your email tomorrow you will get a lot of these pictures, enjoy your eyes!! OK sister!!
She mentioned that in the middle of the night there was a killing silence and she could hear the sound of the waves colliding the body of the ship, she said that she felt like a seesaw and was waiting to hear the emergency call at any minute, hahaha...she said that she was living the nightmare of Titanic. LOL
I haven't finished yet, and my step mom said: Oh I remembered what I was going to ask her, hand me the phone please! Grrrr I spoke for only 8 minutes what the heck!
So step mom killed the minutes with silly questions and beeeep the line went off, you have used all of your card. that what the stupid machine informed us with!
This morning I checked my emails and found 5 extra heavy emails from sis full of pictures, yay!!Man! Those were such nice places and unfortunately I can't post all of 'em, so here are some of these pictures. I hope you enjoy as I did.

Later

Hi Marsho how are you?
those are nice pics, you remind me with all the pics that my sister Morbido sent to me, I recorded more than 6 CDs only for her pics.

you know what Marsho, since our land line is not working anymore, so we called her via Asia cell, it is better, if you have Asia cell call her it is good, we have it and we use it only to call her.

i'm busy with my work these days and she is busy with her study..my parents always call her when i'm at work, and when she calls i'm always not at home, I even can't reach her on the net, :((

I'm missing my sister tooooo much

keep writing girl
by the way, how is your fiance?
:)

Bonjour Marshmallow,
I think you mean, your sister "beat out" the other 13 linguistics students, rather than "beat up" - to fight them - maybe she did though, you Iraqi women are tough. And all that booze. Did your sister have a good time or what? And a disco... Who said Disco was dead?
