Hello all!
Its been so long since I wrote in English, so today I desided to do so.
Once again the time has been flying!
Last week I went to Sweden to some schooling. It took a week. We were 4 from Finland and the others were from Sweden ofcourse and from Norway. Our company has a Scandinavian Business School in Stockholm, so we went there to learn more of business.
It wast great! The days were very long, but full of knowledge. We worked in teams and everything was in english. It felt so good to speak english after a while.
Because the days were long and most of the shops are closing at seven (!!!) in sweden, we didn´t went shopping that much. Couple of evenings me and Anu (my roommate and colleague) went downtown to eat with Tomas. (my husbands brother who lives in Stockholm) That was so nice.
Once we just came from downtown and desided to join the others at the lobbybar when the others told they were on they way to casino at downtown... Well we stayed at the lobbybar, tired of just coming back from city. What a good desicion; the rest of the eve we offered drinks from others who had their courses and stayed at the hotel.
Well, i must say one thing I did learn was that I wont drink whiskey till 5 am if I have to work next morning! Oh goddness I was tired! I dont get hangover and I wasn´t that drunk, but in this age I can´t really stay up the whole night.
The last evening e we had a graduation gala. We were told to be ready at 6 o´clock at the lobby, and when we went there, there were 3 limousines waiting for us!!! Then we drow across the city in them to a beautiful hotel called Grand Hotel. We had very fine dinner in there and got our diplomas. I had to -- or I had an honour to give a speech for the others. It game as a surprice but I quess it went well. Atleast quite many came to thank afterwords. -or maybe they just had one too many drinks. =)
Today we went to a birthday party. It was very nice to sit down and talk. It was much to catch up and finally had time to do the catching up.
Take care all of you!
