tea free Finland?
Aug. 5th, 2017 08:40 pm If anybody who has also travelled to Finland knows where you can get a decent cup of tea here, please share. This is the end of my first day here and I've yet to track down tea. The hotel did have some at breakfast but it was Earl Grey. I'm not yet that desperate. Mostly because I also drink coffee and the coffee here is strong enough that the two cups I had at breakfast [known as that meal where you don't drink wine] appear to be still doing their job. No signs of caffeine withdrawal. It's just that I'm used to having one when I'm keyboarding, damn it!
I got here late afternoon yesterday and while I took a bit of time to settle so I could sleep, once I did manage it, that was me for the next 12 hours. I fell over around 6pm and apart from waking briefly from 2 to 3 am, that was it until 6 something am. There were some guys running races in the corridor in their boxers, else I probably wouldn't have woken up then.
I'm really tired again now because I've been touristing all day - may not have quite such an early start tomorrow - and have also caught the sun a bit, even though this isn't really my idea of summer weather.
I will be glad when the con starts, or for me, when Tuesday arrives and I go on the tour to the nuclear power plant. It's a bit lonely without anyone I know here, and nobody talks to me, well, except for a couple of British tourists. As for navigating in a place with ridiculously long street names and not always with directions in my language, it takes a bit of extra work.
