Sun

And all of a sudden it's 25 degrees and I have a tan. This country is crazy! The last week has been absolutely beautiful, weather wise. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the birds are singing, ducks are getting ready to get down together... very inspiring!
I had a very chilled out weekend. Just lying around in the sun, hanging out with friends in the sun, eating icecream... in the sun, drinking beer... in the sun. Very nice.
Last night I went to check out this Helsinki Improv gig which was ... interesting. One of the highlights was a guy who combined American heavy metal and Icelandic folk music. This was followed by an hour of electronic music... a guy making noises on his various computers. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting and I did like some of it... BUT AN HOUR!!! I was beginning to wonder if he'd ever stop. And I missed The Amazing Race for this!

The summer is really beginning to effect people. Everyone is sitting around with as few clothes as possible, trying to soak up as much sun as they can before it disappears again. Because you just never know here. It could snow tomorrow.
The biggest problem with summer though is that people drink a hell of a lot, even more than during winter, and then they all relieve themselves outside. Not behind bushes or trees, but just against any wall, anywhere! It's kind of off putting to be honest. And not just men...

However, I will gladly dodge the piss and avoid the empty beer bottles and rejoice in the beautiful sun.
