Kaivopuisto

The day when that picture above was taken was sunny. I had plenty of reasons to be happy around so many friends that Sunday in Kaivopuisto Concert. Not to mention of sunshine. The older I have got the more sensitive I have got the changes in weather.

Grey and rainy days just drags me down. I become lazy when I see no blue sky. I become tired when I open my curtains in the morning just to realize that there is no sunshine to feed me with its yellow light.

Foreigners always wonder how we can cope with the midnight sun. I am always amazed how beautiful are those nights when sun set hardly sets. Some may say that it is hard to fell asleep when it is so light but for me there is no difficulties. It is just hard to stay awake during the dark winter!

Tour Nordic

After spending two weeks in Prague in the beginning of May. I headed for a business trip to Stockholm or actually Solna. There I spent 1 1/2 months and now I am in Finland. Having my first two weeks of paid holiday.

Unfortunately beginning of the life after studies demands plenty of money. Therefore I am working also during my holiday. I work here in Orimattila so at least I have chance to see my family and my friends in these neck of the woods.

In 20 minutes I am eating "muurinpohjalettuja" at my friends. Yummy!

Changes

I was supposed to fly today to Prague. My flight should have been 5 hours from now. I just got phone call that it has been postponed tomorrow. It is raining now outside so it would have perfect day to take off. I have everything packed though everything else unsolved like accommodation for first 3 weeks. Now I have one more day to organize them.

This situation starts to get a bit stressing. When decided something it then decided. when something changed then it means lot of re-organizing anyway. I am maybe more planning type of guy. No- change-would-do-good-mentality. At least when it comes to certain things.

I know that becoming months there are no time to breath. Because of the new job there will be a lot of trainings and travelling. Besides that there will be two weekends of celebrations next month because few of my friends are having weddings. That is something I pretty like especially if I have finally time to do some sports which I have been neglected for the whole year.

Mayday mayday

With this entrance I move on to write mainly in English since there are some people who have asked for that. And I know if my countrymen want to follow my blog they can easily do that in English as well. My parents would be the only ones who can not understand any English but even though I miss my mother's cookings I am not so sure if they are so interested to read about my daily life.

It seems that lately I have done most of my writings in public transportation. Now I am in the bus from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to Mäntsälä.Today is one of the biggest celebration in Finland today since it is the Eve of Mayday aka Vappu. I should be drinking heavily but I decided to stay this evening home planning a bit, going to sauna, eating those famous cookings of my mother.

The way I contribute to Mayday celebration on my behalf is that tomorrow I may go and a have look the tradiotional Mayday markets. I know that the tradionality is turned into colourfull plastic toys and decorations but life ain't always beautiful. Who knows maybe plastic is the authenticity in 2007?

Sun is shining through the window and it is cosy to sit inside the bus. Outside it is a bit chilly but pretty normal weather for this time of the year in Finland. While it was summer in Slovakia it looks early spring here. Well it is only kuu kiurusta kesään or something like that so no worries summer will eventually arrive here.
