This is kind of unexpected, but my girlfriend got time off from work since she already worked so many hours.

I'll explain the situation.
My girlfriend, who is Finnish, came to Belgium on work-practice for 4 months, and was supposed to go back to Finland end of January 2007.
At the place she works (horse breeder) she works 6 days a week, and didn't have any vacation yet. Those people kind of take advantage of that, so now she calculated the hours she worked and in 1 week she has all the hours she is supposed to work. (4 months worth of hours, crazy!!)

I suggested she would talk to her boss and ask for vacation, since she didn't have any yet. She asked and got the time off, so in 3 weeks we'll go to Finland and stay at her place for 2 weeks. After that we'll come back and she'll stay at my place for another 3 weeks till she has to go back (26th of January).

So tomorrow we'll go look for tickets to Helsinki :) I never expected I'd go to Finland so fast :p
I have been in Helsinki before, but that was last year when I went to China and made a stop in Helsinki vantaa (airport).

There's only 1 thing, in Finland there's huge loads of snow and it can get -25°/-13F 😌 I'm not really used to that kind of cold weather, but I'm going to try to adapt to it anyways :) And yeh, first time SAUNA !!! I'm so thrilled 😌
 
Have a great time Rock!! I'm really happy to hear that you get to spend some time with your girlfriend!

And, don't worry about the snow, I hear that there is not enough snow in higher elevation that they had to cancel ski competitions this year.
 
have fun Rock! and don't drink to much Vodka okay (even though, it will keep you warm haha)
 
@Misa: It's odd, but this year there isn't that much snow and in all Europe almost it's still warm. The climate is changing due to Greenhouse effect.

@dutch: Can't promise that mate ;-) And I will have a good time !
 
Wow seems like you have a Gf in every country XD
Tehehe lucky you :p
Anyway, have fun ^^
 
Awww you are going to Finland! Hope you'll have a great time there and take care! :p
 
Ah.. So that explains all the incomprehensible Finnish words in your signature, profile etc. 😊 Good for you dude!! Suomi marssi!! 👍
 
Hehe, yeh ^^

Got the tickets today, and because we're pretty late it was a bit more expensive than usual, but still doable :)

I'll be leaving the 24th of December until 5th of January :) Sauna, here I come ! :D
 
Have a great time in Finland, and if you have any chance, go to Rovaniemi and say "hello!" to Santa Claus! 🙂
