1st of May

I was lucky enough to score some tickets for Kristina från Duvemåla and as the musical is played in Helsinki I got to celebrate 1st of May in my old hometown and meet some old friends as well! I must say that I really enjoyed the show, the scenography was amazing and the singers were all [...]

The USA

Went to the US for a work conference and got to stay at the beautiful Snow Bird, a ski resort close to Salt Lake City. I soon realized that all I’ve heard about America is true. The first proof came when driving from the airport and there was a big sign saying “Bomb Iran”. And watching the [...]

Sweden

Dom är allt konstiga de där svenskarna. Varför i all världen heter kvittot man får från bankautomaten “minneslapp”? Men man vill ju förstås att hissen ska komma hit. Men kanske de är lite dumma ändå… …eller så inte, för det här måste vara det smartaste jag sett!

I heart Scotland

Went to Scotland last week to attend a seminar for young testis researchers. It was my second time in Edinburgh and the weather was just as I remembered, around 20 degrees Celsius and sunny.               Old town on the hill and New town down below. Lovely views and even better shops, I especially recommend: the [...]

I’m getting around

Traveling 6 days these past two weeks has made me into a lazy, hungry wreck who is now expecting there to be a swimming pool in my basement, or at least an eternal supply of coffee and arrak balls - unfortunately there is not… Went for a three day trip to Gothenburg and Marstrand this week. It [...]

Happenings

Yes tomorrow it happens, after 10 years I’ll finally put on some hated white shoes and go ice-skating. If, that is, the weather allows – I’ve set the limit to -15 degrees but I guess I’ll freeze my feet off already at -10 so what’s the difference. My colleagues really do have a bad influence [...]

helsinki

So I was in Helsinki last weekend. And during those three days I managed to get hooked on coffee – again. Spent most of Wednesday with a terrible headache until I gave in and had my fix. 15min after that cup of coffee I felt just fine. Imagine that… When I told Matteo of my problems [...]

Off and away

Now I know how nicotine addicts feel when people tell them to quit smoking. On Monday there was a big sign on the elevator door at work. It said something like “stair-week, don’t use the elevator”. This is part of a campaign that strives to make Finns the healthiest people in the world by 20…something. The rebel [...]
