First snow in Finland
Welcome back to Finland!
I came last Sunday and I already noticed that nothing has changed while I was away. :-)
Well, almost nothing. The "Sauna bar", a nice place near my apartment where you could drink a beer and play pool is now a gay bar.
But everything else is like I left it. I left summer in Italy (about 25 celsius) and I find winter here. Today, as you can see, it started snowing. :-(
Also my neighbor is still the same. I had a dinner with few friends yesterday and at 9.30 pm she came to complain for the noise. She is about 35 years old, and I tried to be very nice to her, but she's just complaining every single time I have friends at home.
Quite annoying experience, I would say. I hope this experience will teach me to check the neighbors before I'll buy a house. :-)

Kart in Milan
Hi there. Sorry for being so lazy. It's been a while since my last post.
I took this picture 10 days ago in Milan, when I went karting (link to the karting site) with Andrea and Vincenzo, old friends from university time. We know each other since 1996, so it's 10 years now!
We always liked to play with karts but of course now we are not the same big group we used to be... Yeah, I know, good old times... :-) Marco now is always busy, George is abroad and many other are somehow "lost".
What to say about the race? I wasn't the worst driver and neither the best. Provided we were three, you pretty much now the whole story now. :-)
Something that is very hard to transmit with words is how fun it is to perfectly overtake your friend in a very difficult curve.
As they say, "boys and their toys" :-)
This is a picture of the track, and on the website you can actually watch a lap from an in-car camera. Funny!

Carcano theater
Last Thursday my friend Eddie called me and asked if I wanted to go to the theater. I thought it was weird since I was in Milan and he was in Luino, quite far away. But he was not asking me to go with him, but with a friend of him!
Eddie knows me very well, and it didn't take too much time for him to convince me once he used the magic word (cute). :-)
So I met Tamara and we saw "The taming of the shrew" (la bisbetica domata).
Meeting Tamara was a nice surprise, we had a lot of fun! But the play was soooooo boring!
In the picture, Tamara show how her dress match the theater wall. :-)
