HKI

March 3rd

This time I headed to the capital, Helsinki. I took the same train with my friend Aaro, congrats gorgeous once more! He got in to school in London and starts in September. One place I haven't visited, finally I might end up there.. We chatted at Coffee House for a while, Aaro left for his friend's place, I stayed waiting mine to get out of work. Though in the end I couldn't go there, so I started a crazy phone rhumba! I stayed then at another Satu's new home, wow! Old cellar fulled with modern chic style! Great wine and old friends, nice chilly evening.

I woke up pretty late with two little but oh so crazy dogs. I went for a lunch to meet my ex at their office, they had just renovated it. How beautiful! Then I took a little walk around, saw the most beautiful places in the city. The old houses and trendy personalities rushing on the streets. I went to chat with Aaro in Kallio, and we continued my tour together. Found my castle (in the pic)! A visit to Satu's office and getting ready for a meeting again.


It was for old members of Team Academy that live in Helsinki nowadays. Meaning not strictly for me, but I wanted to go cross-fertilizise (as we call it in TA). Wanted to meet those people, see what they are doing and maybe also learn from them. One member told us about her company in recruitment business that is THE growing business these times. We continued the evening to 'Belge', a beautiful "old-library"-bar. Chilling with new cool people and listening some best indie and house. LOVE.

Most of the people had to leave pretty early beacause of work next morning, so I joined Aaro and his new friend for the rest of the night. dtm calling! Met two, probably nicest young gentlemen from Paris, invited me to visit. Gosh another place to go! Maybe London and Paris then at the same voyage...

March 5th

Waking up is never easy. Aaro and I had stayed at the same place, walking in the sunshine wasn't my finest hour. And Aaro got interviewed to a TV! Haha I must say! Before leaving back to Jyväskylä I went for coffee with Karina, high school friend. Also visited her new, huge place and met her boyfriend. Finally after madest run to the station, two tired Helsinki-travellers got in to the train and were able to sleep. How happy I felt when I got home! Half an hour late though, thanks to VR again.

Ciao!
