Another gray and rainy day in Helsinki and another nearly sleepless night.  I am still on my ´la cuacha´kick and have yet to get a decent night´s rest (i.e. more than 5 hrs).  Cant help it. there is just too much to do and not enough time to spend with a certain someone before we take our separate ways on saturday.  I just dont feel ready to leave or to be left just yet. Spent the last few days hanging out with the boys and sitting in the sauna where they like to sing, dance, and take strange nude photos of each other.  I think that at least for my sake, the sauna group should acquire at least one other female. It just gets strange with 85C temperatures, birch branches to hit yourself with, and buckets of water in a small enclosed space with 6 guys and 1 girl. 
Yesterday I learned how to make cinnamon rolls and in the evening organized a little impromptu salsa club outing downtown.  It was quite fun we danced for about 3 hrs to Latin beats.  The group is quite good and I got twirled around the dance floor til i got dizzy. We had quite the group there, must have had at least a dozen people.  Tons of photos and lots of laughs.  Matej ended up locked in the fire escape stairwell and called my phone about 6 times before I realized it was ringing, picked it up, and over the music try to figure out what he was trying to say.  All i heard was "help! i´m stuck at the stairs! let me out, let me out!"  Lol. It didnt help that there were about 3 or 4 stair cases and I really couldnt figure out how someone could get stuck in them...Anyways, we found him. he had been trapped there for about a half hour.  we laughed so hard we cried, poor Matej. 
Tonight: 7km city walk with the boys and tonight, our farewell party....location: the rooftop sauna of the gynecology/obstetrics hospital next to the fornix.  Cheers. Need to buy some cider...
