July has almost come to an end, but I'm still waiting for the summer... There were quite a few warm and sunny days in June, but not enough. July on the other hand felt more like an October 😬 It was mostly rainy and cold. But no matter what, I continue spending as much time outside as possible. Going on a short adventures, exploring the city I live in and Helsinki as well. BTW have you checked my latest blog post on What to do in Helsinki in the summer? You'll find the link in my profile, welcome ☺️ . . . . #summerinthecity #summerinHelsinki #whattodoinhelsinki #visitinghelsinki #visithelsinki #myhelsinki #exploringhelsinki #favoritethingstodoinhelsinki (at Helsingin yliopisto Kasvitieteellinen puutarha) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OQiE7gJnC/?igshid=1wf1mrs6iyyai

Finnish Holiday Season

2/3 of my internship are over already :-O only one month to go, how did that happen :D Time is flying in here, especially now that the weather is so great! Working in the morning and spending the afternoon/evening at the beach :) That is definitely a plus in Helsinki!  

This month has been super quiet at work. It has been a while that I saw a customer and most of my colleagues are on holiday still for another week. But in the beginning of August we will have a full house again with theme-fridays and lunch breaks that I don't have to spend alone.

I still wonder how the Finnish economy can survive these two, three month of holidays. It seems like in July no one was working. The trains and trams are empty and so are most of the offices. When sending out emails, I mostly got an "I'm on holiday and will answer your email when I'm back in August" email back. I understand that the summer here is shorter than in central and southern Europe and that everyone wants to enjoy the nicest time on holiday, but sorry - shutting down everything for one month, companies run by interns and students? :-O And why does everyone go on holidays for 4 weeks in a row? Can't they take two weeks off like "normal" people and the other two weeks some other time? I didn't find out yet if it is a must to take 4 weeks off at a time, or if people actually want that long holidays. I would be horrified! 4 weeks without anything to do? I can't hang out in the summer cottage or on Mallorca for 4 weeks! :-O Please never send me on holidays for 4 weeks in a row! :D 

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
