Helsinki, Day 2

Didn't post on day 1. Don't search and complain, please.

Winter hasn't arrived to Finland yet, but we have. Second day in Helsinki turns to night and it is still raining. Not much, but almost all the time. There's no snow, temperature is too warm for that. It isn't warm, don't get me wrong but it is too warm for snow.

The taxi queue - or better said the queue of people and no taxis - surprised me in the morning and made us fifteen minutes late, which is what I hate. There was nothing to be done. The short meeting with a potential customer turned even shorter and by ten thirty the work obligations for today were fulfilled. When the taxi brought us back to square one, the amount of taxis made us laugh. You could have fed some to the sheep and there would have been many idle taxis left. The time between 8 and 9AM is hopeless, though. Spent some time translating a Finnish writing into English. Got halfway through it waiting for the modem in our hotel room to be fixed or exchanged. Also the neighbouring room and the after that had the same problem. Strange.

Sauna planned for tomorrow.
