Non-communicado?

Well perhaps just a bit...

the ins and outs of moving have indeed kept me more then occupied for the past few weeks...As well as the question of 'do traffic lights HAVE to take that long before giving you your little green man?'
I think not. One down side of the new location, is traffic lights that seem to have it in for me.
It goes something like this:

ped-light-cross-man

I go to the lights. Press the button. Wait, one, two. Press the button again. Wait. Curse myself that I did not put on enough warm things today. Press the button. Wait. Go to cross with out the green mans blessing before 4 cars come at once. Press the button. Wait. Wait. Wait. Man turns green just as another person comes to the lights.
Does the green man wait for more then 2 people before deciding to stop traffic for you? Or can he just tell that I was not made for this weather, and he needs a good laugh??

Either way, not impressed!

Great new place non-the-less.

will endeavor to do more exciting things, as well as take photos of those things to make sure there is something more entertaining for ya all ;)

Ooooh... Helsinki looks horrible! It's 36 degrees here today:)

I still miss it, and wish I was there... Can't wait to see you in July!

Oh, and the traffic lights. They just don't believe you are finnish enough yet. They will start cooperating as soon as you can convince them that you respect their authority. As any true Finn:)
