...and thank you so much for the invitation!
Tuomos parents invited us to cruze a little bit with them on their boat, here and there for a Snack and a Drink on the Baltic Sea. We passed many small islands and even smaller islands, saw some of the Sights of Helsinki - and also visited some of the curiosities - for example the nuclear energy powered icebreaker Urho (built in 1975, Power:16200kWh, Ice-Class: "1 a super"), which is called after the finnish president Urho Kekkonen (who was THE president of Finland over 25 years). The other ice breakers have also quite nice names: "SISU", which stands for this finnish secret super power that helps in every other situation, "APU", which means something close to Help, and... to be continued.

"Kiitos Hei!" means "Thanks! Bye!" and is used in every other occasion. In more personal occasions you can also use "Kiitos kiitos! Hei hei!"
