Towards Heat Waves in Finnish way

Well, Jesse (CS) came two days ago and we've been talking about Finland. And Finnish music and Finnish food and we compared just a tiny bit US and Finland. He left today to Tallinn to party in nightclubs with next CS-host. I wasn't in the good party feeling on these days, so my guest had to content for couple hours in the Bar Loose and Corona. But it wasn't just normal average days either.

I had to meet Jesse in railwaystation around 2.30pm, but 2.20pm I was still in a hospital with iron sticks/needles inside my nose, so I had to call for help. Teemu (teema in HC) came to save the situation. He picked Jesse up from Railwaystation while I was getting flushing in my sinuses. I picked up Jesse from Wayne's Coffee and we went to mine's. I was on a heavy drugs so I couldn't do much. Whole face was hurting, but I was brave in the evening and took guest + Teema, Katia, R, K and their cavaliers to Loose to hear my ex-study-mate Ville Leinonen to perform a lots of different kind of songs. I think we all liked those, even foreigns, though Ville played mostly in Finnish. From Loose we stopped to Corona for one beer and then home to sleep. For me, day was really tough, and I needed to get rid of bad energy while sleeping.

Thursday was beautiful in sense of weather, we went to seek centre and tastes of Vanha Kauppahalli (The Old Market Hall). After that Jesse cooked for me and my flatmate H some egg-plant + zucchini -stuff and some teriyaki Tofu. We had food-conversation about differences of Finnish and American/Hawaiian kitchen and laughed for thoughts which finns have about American food. I learned that the people in Hawaii eat lots of fish, tofu and rice. Pretty healthy food. In the evening of Thu we decided to walk again to the centre to see Underwater Sleeping Society to play in Espan lava (Espa stage). Espa stage is good place to enjoy summer Helsinki. There is free concert every working day (mon-fri) from beginning of July to the end of August. On July there's Jazz-Espa and on August Etno-Espa.

I had volunteer-meeting on skype with BW people. So I had to be home around 21. Jesse was watching TV with my flatmates. I hope he didn't get bored.

Today we woke up late again and had breakfast and talked about Finnish weather - how it is that we consider "heat" from 25 plus celcius degrees and for other people that is just ok. Personally I know that I feel dead at 30 degrees. But hey people, come on to check out Helsinki with -20 degrees plus wind from the sea. For me its not cold yet. I haven't been well on last couple days. Feeling sick (on a sickness leave) and trying to stay as much home as I can. I hope I did not ruined Jesses opportunities to find Helsinki.
