This Suunto Observer is a total disappointment. First the strap got broken and it died totally in 2007, less than 5 years after purchase. Water got into it and the service point told me it was 'beyond repair'.

Two truck drivers chating on Finnish motorway
These two trucks were driving side by side for about 5 minutes and blocked the E12 mortorway. It seems the two drivers were having a good chat.
Interrupted journey
In summer evenings, there are often hot air baloons flying over our house. This one was not so lucky with its air journy. I saw it flying lower and lower when I was roller-skating on the bicycle route along Ring II in Espoo. The baloon landed about 100 meters in front our house and struggled to lift up and flew few hundred meters north and finally settled in field. Passengers onboard seemed quite relaxed with the incident, laughing and taking photos for each other. Half an hour later, a van drove in, packed the baloon and tolled the 'basket' away.

In summer evenings, there are often hot air baloons flying over our house. This one was not so lucky with its air journy. I saw it flying lower and lower when I was roller-skating on the bicycle route along Rong II in Espoo. The baloon landed about 100 meters before our house and struggled to lift up and flew few hundred meters north and settled in field. Passengers seemed quite relaxed with the incident. They were laughing and taking photos for each other. Half an hour later, a van with a trolly came, packed the baloon and tolled the 'basket' away.
Summer night in Finland

If you have enough energy, you can have lots of fun during nordic summer time. Tee off at 7:00pm, hiking in forest around the clock, watch the midnight sunset at lakeside, you name it.
Nordic summer night
Can you believe this is 10:38pm, in southern Finland? The flip side is that the sky may look very much like this at 10:00am in December.
