Week of September 21-28, 2003


What the heck was Craig up to last week? Well, since you asked.....

Hey there everybody!

Using a new method of posting my adventures online, so we will have to see how it looks. It sure is exciting though, isn't it?

Anyway, this week was a party week in Helsinki. On Sunday 21, we went for a hike at Nuuksio National Park . It was only about an hour bus ride away, and it was really nice. It reminded me a lot of the Georgian Trail region though, so it was kinda weird. Kept on expecting to run into somebody I knew.

During the week, we had a couple of nice parties. There was a sauna party on Monday 22 (the Finns love their sauna parties), and then on Wednesday 24 Metso Minerals came and gave a presentation on how great they are and how great it would be to work for them. There was lots of free drinks, and everybody had a great time.

On Thursday 25 we went on our first excursion. We visited Tamrock's plant about 200 km north of Helsinki. They make all sorts of mining machinery, so we toured the factory and sat through a couple of presentations. Then they gave us some free drinks, and food, and, of course, a sauna.

This weekend I was pretty partied out so I just hang around, did some relaxing type things. I even found a basketball net near my apartment so I bought a cheap basketball and messed around a bit.

Well, that is pretty much all that happened that week. When I type it out it sounds kinda boring, but I distinctly remember having a heck of a good time, strange that.

Well, have a good week and remember to check back next week, you never know when something exciting will happen. Oh yeah, and keep your stick on the ice.
