Helsinki for Business

Strictly on business I jetted off in early January to the snowy Finnish capital. With dreams of lapland and northern lights I arrived with a thud on the tough cold concrete of this mobile phone manufacturers palace.


The reality was somewhat undefined and I felt ever in a bond movie at the evil masters headquarters.  Marimekko heaven though and the textiles were bold in the cold city.
And while I might not have gotten the trip to Lapland I did , rather disturbingly get to eat reindeer. I hope this will not delay or interrupt my presents at Christmas time.

Managed to have a great hotel right by the harbor and it kept me warm on ice cold evenings. something like -12 degrees i think. If ever there's a place where it should be ok to wear fur (and there is not) then this would be it.

Also as it happens Helsinki is the capital of culture this year.




That is all. note: dont try to do complex presentations at 2am in the morning after plenty of sparkling wine.
