European Tour 2007

This year has slowly gotten to its routines. Or actually all these routines I'm stuck with are the same ones I wrestled with in 2006 already... in other words: it's wake-up in the morning, to the office via shower and clothing-puzzles, in case the office hours fall short I get home around nineish after doing some sweating in the gym or in some workout class.

Ya, that's my life.

On weekends it's train time for either me or Olli, depending on the location of our weekend-plans. Last weekend it was Tampere and My Fair Lady, this up-coming one it's travel fair and Helsinki. And on the last weekend of the month we'll both be on that train, as we go up to Jyväskylä to celebrate my sister's big 3-0! So, lot's of domestic travelling for both of us...

But as the title suggest, I won't be settling for just Finland this spring. Oh no! I'm coming to Europe, baby! I actually have three separate trips already booked with varying travel parties: first I'll head across the Baltic sea to check out Stockholm on the last weekend of February. Then, on March 22. Olli and I fly over to Copenhagen. The main reason for the trip is Damien Rice, who is throwing a show there. We'll then stay for the weekend, though, too...
The final trip booked so far is - yes, believe it or not - to GERMANY! We're heading to Berlin with my collegues for a bonus-trip from last fiscal year! We'll be there 20.-23.4.2007 - so, in case someone would be in the neighbourhood... ;) ;)

But. My lazy ass has just gotten wider, my jokes lamer and the daylight hours in Finland are increasing again! Here's still no snow... which sucks. This is it, global warming. Just dark, rainy misery for 9 months of the year - and then short, light season (often called as summer) is over-crowded, over-booked and over-estimated by majority of this people... Still, CAN'T WAIT 'TILL SUMMER!

Well, before summer I get to do a little travelling - and if I get lucky, I'll get to meet some friends while doing that! :) Fingers crossed!
