Talk about gongshow...
how we meet these people i'll never understand. we just hit up Helsinki (for julie's redemption tour...please see previous posts about my redemption) until 5 am
We meet up with our friend who used to play hockey in michigan, but currently plays in finland, and we book our hotel rooms at the same place. after a quick get-ready session, we head out to a local bar for some quick drinks and wait for our friend Eric's "Helsinki contacts" to meet up....
So two swedes named Thomas and Thomas (easy enough) show up and have a couple drinks, and then take us off to an Office Party. yes, not kidding - an office party...so instantly the legendary Aleksi, who they've been talking about all night, gets us a few drinks...and the night begins. we pre drink, head outside where a taxi bus is waiting for us (and will be taking care of us all night) we head to the first bar, Theatre, and we all cruise right in...but Aleksi decides it's not enough action, so we jump in the bus and move on to the next popular bar The Lux, where once again we all just cruise in like we own the place. at this point, lauren, rach, and myself are thinking that we have NO business jumping from major city to major city and hitting all the hot spots like we even know they are hot spots...
it was an amazing bar overlooking the city and aleksi was a wonderful host (we were celebrating his birthday apparently) so took care of us all night...we ended the night with a little Kebab (SICK, we vowed never to eat this again after London but it was on Aleksi...sigh) and prepared the next morning to leave on a ferry back to our love Stockholm
