Finnish Midsummer – Vaasa

The day of the Nummirock festival was also the day when Brexit was announced…

With BBC news in my Seinaejoki hotel, I watched some of the craze on the 25th shaking my head constantly while packing my bag to continue the journey. Now, a few weeks later, all gut feeling that this was the stupidest decision of the UK in all of history, remains and is confirmed.

Then, just yesterday, 22nd of July, a case of a student running amok in Munich where I lived for ten years… Luckily that turned out to be a non terrorist deed, but nevertheless, since Brexit there has been terror in Nice, Istanbul, coup d’etat in Turkey, terror in Bangladesh and Iraq and and and… I thought for a moment to make today’s blog entry about terrorism and complete shitheads like Boris in the UK and Donald in the US but decided not to… I shall not give the fuckheads what they want – disruption of our lives… so, back to the planned blog entry – my last one concerning my great trip to Sweden and Finland in between business trip to Germany.

The weather was getting worse again after Nummirock, cloudy, no sun out, but no rain yet. I was very lucky with the weather the day before when my favorite bands played!

I was only going back to Vaasa that day but also that was easier said than done. There seem to be four trains per day from Seinaejoki to Vaasa
