+30 to -30

These are the coldest times of the year here up north. Outside it's been around -15, -20 for a while now, just getting colder all the time. Promising -30 is also about to arrive.

One Nordic experience to try for you people:

Step out from a warm (+30C) room full of candles..



.. to the freezing, crisp winter air (up to -30C) ..



.. and experience Finland!

Feel ..

.. the heat through these lyrics!

24 - 2 = 22

The same day we had the 24-hour-birthgiving, I also turned 22. I received more than 200 congrats from all over the globe and a huge amount of hugs and kisses. I want to THANK YOU all lovely people for remembering me on Tuesday, November the 30th!



Special thanks to Liv, one speacial and lovely Italian that managed to send me amazingly beautiful flowers despite the seas and countries between us, AND to a good friend/ the best flatmate I've had, Liisa for surprising me with candles and a lovely dinner after such a tiring event the next day!

24

The tradition for the 4th year team entrepreneurs at Team Academy is to participate and give all of your knowledge in a 24-hour-birthgiving. And what does this actually mean?

'Get a case from a customer at 12.00 o'clock, try to solve the problem, and present the perfection 24 hours later, at 12.00 the next day.'

It's about to give a birth to something new for the customers. With my team of 15 persons, unelMania we got 3 cases to solve on Tuesday November the 30th. Worked hard and after the presentation a huge part in me felt very empty. I realized it's all coming in to an end here. My last real participation..



I think this life's one huge 24. A mission to save a part of the world. I hope we did piece of our job this week, check out those moments HERE!

Paris delighted of dance for the 4th time

51 crews sent videos in advance for pre-selections of Paris Dance Delight 4. 23 crews made it and arrived at Theâtre des Variétés in Paris November 21st 2010. Our crew was among those, nervous backstage, waiting..

The show started 9pm, first was the show of Parisian crew 'Swaggers', six amazingly talented women. After the winners it was our turn. Keep your mind clear and just flirt, it's all about being a diva mannequin.

J'adore Paris

Sweet 16

Ye, that was me last time I was in Paris - just a teenager, very very sweet 16-year-old girl. It was a school trip, with my best friends though. We all lived in families, a little bit outside of Paris, near Versailles.

First time I visited Paris was at the age of 14, same kind of school trip. I also stayed in one family, in Gournay sur le Marne, other side of Paris. Tonight I'll meet that family again, I'm staying at Florence's house for first two nights. I have definitely changed since those years! As I suppose they've too.. I know what kind of house to expect, but the rest - I have absolutely no idea! Wiser tomorrow. And wiser than 7 years ago.
