Oulu




More than two weeks silence... I'm really a lazy guy!

This post is about last week. Actually I will change the date to last week so that there will be no record of my laziness... ;-)

I spent the last two days of May in Oulu, which is a town (130.000 people) around 500km north of Helsinki. Something that you learn flying north from Helsinki is that it's very hard to say who lives north. This should be a lesson for the "North League", an Italian political party whose main political idea is to distinguish Italy in who lives North and who lives South...

As you might easily imagine, the city is very quite.

Unfortunately there is not much that I can tell you about it, since I was there only one night and I didn't really go around. I had dinner in a Turkish restaurant called Istanbul and it was very good!

The only story I have is from my previous trip to Oulu. Since the weather was cold (500km north of Helsinki, just to remind you) I decided to go to the cinema. During the movie I moved my jacket and my mobile phone that was in a pocket fell on the floor. When the movie ended I found the mobile phone and walked away. During dinner I realized that I lost also my GPS receiver in the cinema. When I went back an other movie was already started in the room, so I couldn't go and check. I told what happened to the people working in the cinema and I left my number.

No I know it's not easy to believe it if, for example, you live in Italy. But at the end of the second show I got a phone call and they even brought the GPS back to my hotel. Welcome to Finland.

Ciao,

alfonso
