Today I'm mostly just chilling out and recovering from yesterday's epic Kyykkä "World Championships" held right here at the TTY (Technical University of Tampere) in Hervanta! Literally on my doorstep. 3 teams were competing from my work; my team: JPT (Myself, Kirsi, Emmi, Juha and Yatzy), OMA team (Vito, Sanna, Vähis, Matti and Marjut) and Intelligent machines team (Harri, Vesa, Mirva, Jouni and Iiva)!
JPT WON BRONZE MEDALS!!! or I should say "Karttu"s, Yee ha! I had a good feeling about our team, strong throwers and with 3 women, it means you always have a slight advantage against the teams with only men! At least 2 of us were 1st time players too, what a result!
It was a long day but loads of fun and great for our team spirit, let's hope we can take it back to the office...at least we still have our 2 bottles of sparkling wine to drink this week, ahem ;=) After the games ended we headed to the sauna for the company after party and then into town to see a hummpa band in Tullinkamari (a nice venue in Tampere). They were pretty awful and I can understand that the only place they are popular outside of FInland is Germany, haha! No, seriously, they basically just murder classic tunes in some hummpa style, and all in Finnish. Actually I think it was more enjoyable for those of us who couldn't understand the words! Otherwise, the disco/club part of the venue is really good, some quality tunes were played!
I've just been swimming since I figured I should drag my ass out of the apartment at some point today, anything else is just not healthy. My plan to go swimming in the mornings before work has still not materialised, funnily enough...I'm going to try though. I'm nursing a sore calf muscle just now so thai is out of the window this week, swimming will have to take its place!
Off out for dinner tonight with some Aiesec people, Marin the former trainee from Bulgaria is back in Tampere until tomorrow I think so it's mostly to catch up with him. Should be fun! Oleg (from Russia) incidentally was most entertaining yesterday too, spontaneously throwing himself at a hill of snow....etc!
Ok, well I'm off to get ready now....
